22 Ships
Whenever I feel like having a simple meal, I would go to 22 Ships for its rustic yet refined tapas fare served in a really cool atmosphere that is buzzy and relaxed.

WING Restaurant
I think Vicky's doing a terrific job — the whole arts de la table, the way of presentation, sequencing Chinese cuisine. It's new, it's refreshing.
