This loftlike restaurant has an ornate mahogany bar and serves smart fare that never disappoints. Try the seared scallops with sweet-potato-and-chanterelle risotto. You may spot a neighborhood celebrity (actor Robert DeNiro is a co-owner), but don't get your hopes up—the food is the star. Monday-Friday for lunch and dinner, Saturday for dinner only, Sunday for brunch and dinner. Reservations recommended. $$$. Most major credit cards. 375 Greenwich St., at Franklin Street (subway line 1 to Franklin Street), Manhattan, New York City.
