Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephane Voitzwinkler

From the OpenTable editors: This plush penthouse escape—open since 1965—reached new heights after a dramatic redesign. Thanks to a freshly added lounge, diners have better access to its skyline views. The French-American restaurant highlights local produce in throwback dishes like grilled blue prawns with charred shishitos and pan-roasted Alaskan halibut with corn.

    Amazing for a special occasion! Service is attentive but not overbearing. Be sure to catch the view out on the deck.

    The restaurant is beautiful, both the decor and the view. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Three of us had 3 different dishes and we were all thrilled. The fillet, the rib eye and the sea bass. We all had Caesar salads and were very happy with their unique spin on a classic. We also tried 3 different desserts and loved those as well. A chocolate one, a pumpkin cake and an Apple tart. Our Thanksgiving dinner could t have been better and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We look forward to trying the restaurants regular menu soon!

    Friend and I visited for the Thanksgiving prix fixe dinner. It was absolutely fantastic. We ordered the lamb shank, beef filet, and added the sweet potatoes. Our onion soup and blackened shrimp appetizer choices were delicious. The pumpkin cake and apple pastry desserts were so good. The overall standout was definitely the lamb shank. Unbelievably delicious. The wine list is incredible and we complemented dinner with a lovely Napa Cabernet. The service was excellent and absolutely what you would expect. Bill, was a delight and even took a few photos of us for my visiting friend. Thank you for a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Loved the food, as usual, but the server/waitress didn’t have good timing. She ruined the whole experience for us. She kept interrupting and talking loudly in my ear. Service was very “robotic and mechanical “ Last week we had excellent service and food, Server can “make or break”the whole dining experience. This time, we lost.
