DirectionsReserve

What to get

  • Trio of duck-fat fries (complimentary)
  • Butter-poached wagyu (e.g., the Australian wagyu ribeye)
  • Maine lobster pot pie
  • Caviar 'Twinkie' or tuna tartare to start

When to go

Book just before sunset and ask for a west-facing window table (top-voted local tip on Reddit).

Insider tip

It's on the 34th floor of the JW Marriott; a window seat is the whole point, so request one when booking.

Heads up

It's a chain and very expensive ('every steakhouse is overpriced; at least you get a view'); seating is limited until the renovation finishes.
