New American
A dining room suspended above the city, wrapped in peach velvet and green marble, opens onto a terrace for aperitifs before the meal proper.

Sushi
At a ten-seat counter in Commerce Street, Chef Daisuke Nakazawa orchestrates omakase with restraint: tender fish, precisely seasoned rice, a whisper of wasabi and nikiri.

Rank 37. Sunn’s
Korean
At Sunn's, Chef Sunny Lee elevates banchan from supporting cast to main event, producing six daily small plates that bend Korean tradition toward France and Italy in a kitchen barely larger than a closet.

Kaiseki Japanese
Chef Isao Yamada has distilled a lifetime of kaiseki into a sparse, intimate counter where each course unfolds a different technique: pristine sashimi, a clear broth studded with king crab, a rice course married to Maine lobster and foraged mushrooms. The room itself—pale wood, ikebana, a framed garden—recedes politely behind the food, letting the seasonality speak.
