This branch of a New York City fave (it's pronounced are-ree-all), run by Charlie Palmer, is noted locally for its glass wine tower. Four stories of carefully chosen bottles (including the largest collection of Austrian wines outside of Austria, which are well worth trying for a new wine experience) are plucked from their perches by comely, cat-suited lasses who fly up and down via pulleys. It's quite the show, and folks come in just to watch.

Should you come for the food? Perhaps. Certainly the Asian-influenced fusion is solid, but it's more consistently good than outstanding, and since it's currently a fixed-price three-course meal, it may simply not be worth the price. A recent visit found the duck foie gras mousse served with a sweet balsamic sauce to be creamy, and the smoked capon ravioli very smoky indeed, but the pasta casing was a little tough. A pepper-seared tuna entree with green-onion risotto produced some sharp flavors, while the pan-roasted lobster was sweet, and there was a hint of cinnamon in the caramelized fennel side. Desserts are dainty but pale when compared to others around town.
