  2. The architectural bar, deep honey-toned woods, and jacket-clad staff set the scene before you've even looked at the menu: this is a steakhouse and raw bar doing midcentury-modern decadence, and it commits fully. Seafood towers, caviar service, Australian wagyu, and martinis large enough to require a lifeguard. The room practically dares you to order the old fashioned and stop thinking about the bill. Wine Enthusiast named it a top new restaurant in 2025.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
