Housed within the stylish Chatwal Hotel, this Midtown institution is just the place to host power lunches and pre-show dinners. The setting is as sleek as ever with its iconic black walls, scarlet-red booths and polished chrome finishes anchored by a roaring limestone fireplace. Such opulence feels neither stuffy nor forced, while the restaurant brings genuine culinary chops to the neighborhood thanks to a talented team. Dry-aged steaks served with a host of sauces are obvious crowd pleasers, but don’t miss out on some of the more thoughtful offerings like seared scallops with bacon, leeks and clam chowder broth or lamb saddle with chanterelles. Potent cocktails and a pre-theater prix-fixe are guaranteed to keep the night going until curtain call.
