Signature chef’s tasting menu
Join us for a chef’s tasting menu featuring seasonal ingredients and an energetic display of tableside cooking. You will be hosted in our Sky Lounge Rooftop or our Travail Marble Room to feast on the latest and greatest culinary creativity and inspired plates from our kitchen team led by chef-owners James Winberg, Bob Gerken, and Mike Brown.
