Gift Tips
- Order the bouillabaisse or seared tuna if you’re craving impeccably cooked seafood with rich sauces.
- Sit at the lounge bar for a more casual vibe and ask Albert for a craft martini—bar seating is great for small plates and cocktails.
- Try the lamb lollipops or Thai-style fried calamari for starters; both balance bold flavors with crisp textures.
- Explore the rotating global menu—seasonal themes (like Italy in fall) are a smart way to sample new dishes alongside staples.
- Save room for dessert; the vanilla bean crème brûlée, profiteroles, and key lime cheesecake are standouts.
