Manhatta

Great views and good food rarely go hand in hand, but this stylish USHG spot breaks that trend. Set in an iconic skyscraper, now owned by a Chinese company, and set some 60 floors up, this team understands that eventually even the most enthusiastic voyeur looks down at their plate, so the stellar views are more like an added bonus.
The best seats in the house face the display kitchen, where classic French cooking is the mainstay. These chefs know when to leave a dish alone so there’s nothing on the plate that isn’t serving a purpose. A rich matzah ball soup composed with chicken broth, onions and carrots; followed by buttery turbot with grapes and almonds are standouts. For dessert, look no further than the soufflé with a decadent butterscotch sauce.
