oted by Food and Wine magazine as one of the best 50 hotel restaurants in the world, Wish brings out classic American favorites with accents of contemporary Asian cuisine.

The décor is designed by Todd Oldham, who clearly knows his stuff. Not only is the restaurant exotic with its beachy palm trees and lush greenery, it still feels cozy and relacing. The exterior is meant to resemble a tropical garden, which creates an intensely romantic secret garden feel. Beware if you’re not looking to fall in love- the setting may force you into saying the “L” word.

Appetizers run around $18 dollars, and let me tell you, some of the made my mouth water. Tomato-lime soup with chilled lobster, pan seared foie gras, and wild salmon tartare are delicious ways to start your meal.

The entrees are a bit pricey, like beet-cured salmon ($35), BBQ-ed beef short ribs ($39), and grilled ribeye ($44). They may be slightly expensive, but the food is more quality than quantity. But don’t worry, it’s far from tiny little meat slices on a plate held together by a toothpick. Sure, they look beautiful, but after 2 bites, you’ll be scraping your plate for more.

Chef Michael Bloise is at the helm of the restaurant, executing artful pyramids of peppered lobster over a bed of cherry red tomatoes and generous plates of barbecued shrimp and mashed potatoes. The decor is bright and pleasant, and service is efficient. The chef claims the food is “unpretentious yet artful,” which is quite accurate.
