MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Set within the Park Hyatt hotel, this upscale American tavern boasts a sleek, urbane and dreamily sprawling interior, with soaring windows, walnut wood seating and highly coveted glass-enclosed booths. Whether dining in the plush room or expansive lounge—which features a separate cheese- and charcuterie-focused carte—the gorgeous space and its well-to-do crowd are the epitome of casual sophistication. Similarly, the product-driven menu has an all-American sensibility, highlighting farms and purveyors. At the center of the open kitchen sits a behemoth wood-burning oven that turns out such classics as whole-roasted fish or the popular duck leg confit. Don't forget to peruse their dessert station and impressive tea list, which reads like a veritable tome.
