- Breeze — Seafood · rated 4/5: Breeze captures the vibrant spirit of Sichuan cuisine, where the air is scented with toasted chilies and the cooling crunch of scallion-laced cucumbers provides a refreshing counterpoint to the kitchen's bold, numbing heat. Diners are treated to a masterclass in balance, from the silken elegance of thousand-year egg and tofu to the rich, caramelized depth of sweet plum pork ribs, all served in an atmosphere that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition.

- OTB — Mexican · rated 3/5: OTB pulses with the gritty, high-low energy of a neighborhood tavern where the briny elegance of fresh oysters finds a home alongside the greasy-fingered joy of a classic cheeseburger. The air hums with the clink of cold martinis and the unceremonious pop of a cheap beer can, creating a soulful sanctuary that celebrates both refined cravings and unpretentious, late-night comforts. From the snap of a perfectly plain hot dog to the salt-rimmed zing of a margarita, every detail invites guests to lean into an atmosphere where dive-bar spirit meets culinary honesty.
