    The restaurant lists prix-fixe, tasting and vegetarian menus. Executive Chef Eddy Leroux leads a seasonal French kitchen, so dishes change; the current menus include seafood, meat and vegetable courses. In the bar, guests can order cocktails and items from a separate menu. Choose the dining room for the complete multi-course experience or the bar when a drink and a lighter meal are the plan.

    Know before you book

    The 3,000-square-foot dining room has a coffered ceiling and changing art displays; the Art Deco-inspired bar has hand-crafted details by Lalique Interior Design Studio. Daniel strongly recommends formal or business attire and does not allow athletic wear, shorts, sandals or ripped jeans. Check the current menu and reserve the room that fits the occasion.

    The take

    The Take

    The Vibe

    Daniel presents a considered, grand dining room that calms from the moment you pass through the revolving doors. Street noise falls away into a low murmur; service moves with near-silent, white-gloved precision. Architectural touches — coffered ceilings, wrought-iron decorative branches and Bernardaud porcelain chandeliers — combine with large-scale art to give the space warmth and visual anchors between courses. The room reads as sophisticated without feeling cold: refreshed but rooted in an older, salon-like logic. Overall, the experience foregrounds composed elegance, quiet conversation and the kind of sustained conviction that keeps a fine-dining interior resonant.

    Ordering Tips

    Expect a French fine-dining rhythm and allow the kitchen’s measured sequences to unfold. Signature items to look for include the foie gras terrine and the sea bass with lentils, both cited as standout expressions of the menu. Service is deliberate and coordinated — plates arrive in unison — so plan to savor courses rather than rush through them. The room’s art and architecture reward lingering between dishes, and the overall approach favors tasting-style progression and attentive, formal service.
