About
Formerly a Lasher's steakhouse, the space was purchased by restaurateur and chef Miki Zivkovic who changed little in the way of decor and everything in the way of cuisine. Zivkovic brings his years of expertise (as a former executive chef at Pinot Bistro and as the owner/chef of neighboring Bistro Provence) to bear in the gigantic kitchen of this classy 250-seat restaurant. The French and Mediterranean-inspired menu includes warm grilled jumbo asparagus with spinach, shallots and porcini broth; papardelle pasta with lamb ragu, red wine tomato sauce and mint ricotta and twice-cooked pork with choucrutte garniee, apples and whole-grain mustard sauce.
The interior is bathed in soft orange light and suited up with tufted leather banquettes, a coffered ceiling, diamond-shaped mirrors, white tablecloths and Reidel crystal. There is also an outdoor patio, a sound-proofed VIP room and a cozy bar and lounge with a grand piano.
