Description

Located within the Ritz-Carlton, Grande Lakes, this restaurant from Chef John Tesar cuts an impressive figure. It is a vast, modern space sporting beachy hues, weathered wood, and a well-stocked bar. The dimly lit dining room is front and center, while an open kitchen resides in the back. In-house, dry-aged steaks from 44 Farms, inventive pastas like cacio e pepe made with ube noodles, and top-shelf seafood give diners plenty to choose from. The kitchen is quick to highlight local farmers who supply a range of produce, though no matter where you look, decadence and indulgence are on full displ
