Frommer's Review

From Stephen Hanson (Blue Water Grill, Ruby Foo's, Dos Caminos), the Steven Spielberg of restaurateurs, comes his art-house effort, and this one wins all the awards. A Hanson trademark, the restaurant is beautifully designed, depicting a modern northern-Italian style with mirrors, lustrous red walls, leather chairs, and a glass elevator that can deposit you on any of the four floors. New chef Fabio Trabocchi has installed some fanciful and unique creations to the menu such as spicy grilled calamari with scallops, an onion compote appetizer, and striped bass with fennel, oysters and clams. Some of his creations are on the fussy side, but the flavors always interesting. The Fiamma, under Trabocchi's lead, is now anything but traditional Italian. Dinner is a scene, so don't expect intimacy; but lunch, with a similar menu, is a much more relaxed option.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
