Blue Ginger - I agree its very good food. The decor and overall dining experience is fairly flawed however. How is it they can serve such wonderful food in a space that feels so unpolished?
Legal Seafood - a place we take visitors, but if you want real seafood, go to Maine, I always say.
Capital Grille - once had a bill for over $300 there for just two of us. Same for the White Barn Inn in Kennebunkport, ME - I think we spent $400 there for two of us. Amazing cuisine. And another: Cape Arundel Inn, Kennebunkport, ME. Fabulous ocean views, wonderful menu, just about perfection.
Aujourd'hui (Four Seasons downtown) - AMAZING food. Just do they valet, and enjoy. Amazing bar (stocked with everything top-shelf), and try the chef's sampler special. I think it's $100 a person, but you get a seven course sampling of his best work. Amazing. Did I say amazing? I did. From the name of the hotel you might assume it to be pretentious French cuisine - but it is anything but.
