Halcyon
Set in an glass-clad, second-floor space with terrific views of uptown and an exit that's right at the entrance to the Mint Museum, this effortlessly elegant eatery lives up to its name, which means both tranquil and prosperous. You come here with a would-be business connection—or a great aunt you hope will write you into her will. It's a place that impresses. The food is international in its influences, local in its sourcing: rabbit saddle with melted leeks, bacon, horseradish, and local mushrooms; roasted scallops sided by "Forbidden Black Rice" and luxuriously doused in lobster jus. Be sure to try one of the creative cocktails, which use everything from chicken schmaltz (liquefied chicken fat—they use just a touch) to local honeycomb and house-infused liquors.
