From the OpenTable editors: For when only the biggest blowout celebrations will do, this Midtown hotspot's ultra-luxe menu—where caviar, naturally, is the star—can't be beat. Go for one of the three MICHELIN-Starred tasting menus, where chef Edgar Panchernikov's showstopping plates of Japanese mackerel, white asparagus, and oysters are all topped with caviar. Velvet booths, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tall chandeliers only reinforce just how special it feels to eat here.

    Extremely over priced. Had Dover sole that tasted very bizarre…and overpriced champagne that tasted subpar. If you go, just go for the caviar and that’s about it. Bill was $1,450…came home hungry and not satisfied.
