Twist by Pierre Gagnaire is the chef's only restaurant in the United States, and its amazing French food is known for being deliciously creative. Located on the 23rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria, Twist boasts an innovative menu that gives classic French cuisine a modern spin. Diners can expect to see dishes like New Zealand venison with rosemary and juniper, cabbage, braised daikon, roasted pineapple puree, Brussels Sprout leaves and grilled bacon; but menu options change seasonally. A tasting menu and a la carte options are available. Twist features floor-to-ceiling windows and a dramatic glass staircase leading up to a suspended wine loft, but the restaurant's most striking feature is arguably its lighting, which incorporates more than 300 gold globes designed to look as if they're floating in the air across the ceiling.
