Transatlantic superchef Marcus Samuelsson laces upscale comfort food with a world of flavors at his cool brasserie. Mac 'n’ cheese joins forces with lobster, blackened catfish pairs with pickled mango, and Swedish meatballs salute Samuelsson’s home country. The DJ-led bar atmosphere is as good, if not better, than the food: roll in after midnight on weekends and it's still buzzing.
The prix-fixe lunch is a bargain at $26.
