Fifth Floor (CLOSED)

Since its start-of-the-century debut, this chic and reliable high-dollar restaurant has become established as one of the best places in the city to find a five-star French experience. The dining room - which was undergoing a renovation at press time - has proven reliably sophisticated and stylish, and the daily changing menu is among the city's best. Preparations are unfussy, and service is top-notch. The wine list, administered by one of the area's top sommeliers, is among the best in the region.
