White Elephant

Perfect Polynesian food, with Chinese and Thai accents, is served at this chic boutique hotel's restaurant. Leopard-print chairs give the refined dining room an exotic splash, and the kitchen has elevated spring rolls to an art form – definitely try these crispy, five spice-seasoned snacks. Main courses can be mild or wild. Sweet-and-sour chicken with macadamia nuts and plum sauce is juicy and wonderful; mouthwatering Thai ribs, however, are not for the faint of heart. Quail salad, marinated salmon with spinach and ginger cream, and duck with thin, crispy pancakes also please. Reservations necessary. Smart-casual to dressy attire.
