Chinois on Main

Wolfgang Puck's Franco-Chinese eatery bustles nightly with locals and visitors wowed by the restaurant's reputation and rarely disappointed by the food. The same cannot be said for Puck's latest Asian-inspired eatery, WP24 on the top floor of the Ritz downtown. Go there for the view, come here for the food. Groundbreaking in its time, the restaurant still relies on the quirky East-meets-West mélange of ingredients and technique. The menu is almost equally split between Chinois's signature dishes and seasonal creations. The most famous of the former are Cantonese duck in a sweet-tangy plum sauce, and farm-raised whole catfish that's perfectly deep-fried and dramatically presented. There's also seared Maine sea scallops with pad Thai noodles, and braised Kurobuta pork shoulder served in a hot pot with Chinese eggplant. Try the trio of crème brûlées for dessert. The dining room is as visually colorful as it is acoustically loud. Tip: If you like fiery cooking demonstrations, ask for a seat at the kitchen counter.
