Stylish and dimly lit, this spot from Lettuce Entertain You reels in diners for repeat visits. After a day of shopping at the mall, we reward ourselves with the fine cream of tomato-basil soup and green goddess salad. But you also can't go wrong with an appetizer- or entrée-size portion of the crispy shrimp Pescara, which is slathered in zesty rémoulade and placed on a bed of lemon-dressed greens. (It’ll make you feel worlds away from the mall.) King crab is a focus, too, and it’s available in combo form. Among other entrées, try the salmon au poivre served with sautéed spinach; citrus-glazed tuna steak; or the Milanese-style, horseradish-crusted whitefish. The wine list is courtesy of sommelier Alpana Singh, and the dessert menu includes one-, two- and full-bite portions. Go for the super-creamy mascarpone cheesecake. There may be a wait during lunch or dinner, but it'll pay off.
