UNION SQUARE. Pick your passion at this elegant, upscale restaurant, whose sumptuous interior is the work of designer Barbara Barry. The menu is extravagant as well, specializing in three-course, prix fixe menus that riff on a particular ingredient, showcasing it in a variety of preparations. A la carte options are also available. Delicious offerings include freshly made lobster salad, ahi tuna tartare, Kobe beef rib roast, and potato-crusted Dover sole. To complete the experience, consider brioche bread pudding or something lighter like the artisanal cheese plate. Also available are a vast selection of wines from around the globe and seasonal tasting menus created for an entire table.
