The restaurant's prime dry-aged steaks and commanding wine selection create an atmosphere of old-world elegance that makes every toast feel significant, whether you're claiming the secluded 21-seat Wine Room or filling the grand main dining space with 200 of your closest colleagues. This is where Manhattan's power players come to celebrate deals and milestones in a setting that commands respect.",
