Souvlaki

Grilled chunks of marinated lamb, beef, pork, or chicken smothered in garlicky Greek tzaziki sauce and often wrapped in pita bread.
Splendido

Upscale Italian, with high-end indulgences such as veal and sweetbread. Excellent fish mains, and an impressive cheese plate. The service in this handsome dining room is impeccable.
Spring Rolls

South Asian delights for those on a budget: the Vietnamese pho (noodle soup), Thai curries, and stir-fries are excellent value.
Starfish

This low-key, sophisticated restaurant specializes in fish and seafood, particularly oysters – almost 20 varieties of them, with fresh French oysters on Thursdays. Preparations such as lobster bisque give a nod to Gallic cooking, with its classically complex flavors. Save room for dessert, all of which are excellent. The reasonably priced wine list is mainly French (see Starfish).

Seafood is given graceful, luscious treatment here. Outstanding oysters.
Sushi Island

This lovely Japanese restaurant draws sushi-lovers from all over the city with perhaps the freshest sashimi in town. Noodles, tempura , and hot pots are also favorites.
Sushi Kaji

Masterful chef Mitsuhiro Kaji creates the city’s premiere Japanese cuisine at this farwestend restaurant. There are two private rooms, but better to perch at the eight-seat sushi bar to enjoy the food-as-theater experience. Premium sakes are the perfect accompaniment to excellent – and generously portioned – sushi, sashimi , and creative cooked offerings (see Sushi Kaji).

Set menu options – including the deluxe, chef’s choice omakase menu – present course after course of wonderful, complex Japanese creations balanced with simple, incredibly fresh, sashimi and sushi.
Susur

Wildly inventive Susur Lee is the city’s reigning chef. Put yourself in his capable hands by ordering the tasting menu, which, at a table of two or more, features different treatments of the same main ingredient. Don’t be surprised when the meal begins with the main course and works backwards – it’s a Susur trademark, as is his artistry mixing pan- Asian flavors. Minimalistic, elegant decor (see Susur).
Susur

Susur Lee’s menu surprises and delights; audaciously inventive pan-Asian flavors have earned him the crown of super-star chef. Two of the five tasting menus are vegetarian.
