SCENE: A poolside patio and Wallpaper-esque interior have made this the place to be seen since it opened. It’s popular with large groups and, when the back bar is open on the weekends, even celebs.

EATS: The Southeast Asian–influenced cuisine pairs nicely with the eclectic wine list. Standout entrées include tombo-tuna-tartare tataki with ginger and an Asian-pear granita and grilled sweet-soy skirt steak.
