Rank 2. Carbon
Modern Bistro
Crushed velvet banquettes set the tone at this upscale modern bistro, where the Josper oven does heavy lifting on a seasonal tasting menu that runs six, eleven, or somewhere in between courses depending on the night. Contemporary technique sits on a traditional base, and every dish comes with a suggested wine pairing, which removes exactly one source of dinner-table conflict. The room fills up, so book ahead.
