There's something almost sacred about the atmosphere at this petite fine-diner perched atop chef Ryan Ratino's other hit restaurant, Bresca. Perhaps it's the fact that there's no decoration and each of the seventeen chairs faces the kitchen, leaving diners in no doubt as to where the focus lies: on a whimsical multi-course tasting menu consisting of some of the rarest and most luxurious ingredients in the world, given a Japanese spin. Sure, you're familiar with Wagyu beef and foie gras (which might appear with green strawberry jam in the form of a doughnut or served with apple ambrosia on brioche), but how about rare kaluga caviar, pink pineapple and hard-to-find ishidai fish, whose delicate sweetness pairs wonderfully with buttermilk? The top-tier menu draws both serious foodies and those who don't mind dropping big bucks on premium wine pairings.
