A chef-driven seafood tasting with signature bites built for a counter experience.
Notable Picks
#1
César
8.6
A seafood-leaning, Japanese-influenced tasting that plays best when you treat it like a chef’s-table performance: sit close, follow the rhythm, and let the signatures land in sequence. It’s a polished counter-focused experience that rewards attention more than improvising your own meal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Truffle Uni Brioche, Squab Course, Frozen Soufflé
What Makes it Special: A chef-driven seafood tasting with signature bites built for a counter experience.
8.4
A hotel rooftop that leans Parisian garden rather than party deck—quietly high-design, polished, and built for lingering over cocktails and luxe small plates. Come for skyline air and a more controlled, grown-up energy, then eat in a slow, snack-forward rhythm.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lobster Hashbrowns (served with caviar), Spicy Tuna (crispy rice, jalapeño), Oysters on the Half Shell
What Makes it Special: A Versailles-coded rooftop with skyline views and luxe snack plates.
