 f you have the financial means and/or desire to dine like a member of turn of the 19th century socialite royalty (think Vanderbilt), then perhaps you will feel comfortable choosing from a selection of cutlery when your dinner arrives and not fear the scoff of fellow diners if you employ the wrong fork to eat your greens.
Executive Chef Christopher Lee's 21st Century New American cuisine is on display within the historically styled dining room that is full of all the gilt, carved cherry wood, ornate fireplace mantles and the requisite low lighting (so as not to bleach the treasured paintings original colour). While there isn’t the fancy costume pageantry of old, there’s not reason to not wear haute couture if you can afford it.
