The Scene
Discreetly located in the back of the boutique-style Grand Avenue Hilton, this clubby, candlelit warren hosts solo diners, canoodling couples and business executives. Thick-striped pink and yellow walls, colorful floral arrangements and fine Chinese screens offer subtle elegance and privacy. Well-groomed sports fans take seats at the adjacent bar, to watch the game and dine in style.
The Food
The kitchen turns out generous portions of California cuisine, with an emphasis on seafood and inventive sides. Starters include crumb-rolled crab cakes on a bed of citrus-grilled shiitake mushrooms, and rod-straight shrimp coated in light tempura batter. Crisp pan-seared chicken is drizzled with cilantro sauce and served atop a dense, Parmesan- and artichoke-seasoned pancake; slow-cooked osso buco falls from the bone, the veal sprinkled with confetti-like fried carrot curls. Desserts highlights are an architectural masterpiece of apple strudel with scoops of honey ice cream, and iced cherry souffle with chunks of fresh fruit.
