 Climb the grand staircase that leads to The Peninsula's showcase restaurant, Fives. Chef Thomas Piede impresses with a stellar resume. He's formerly of Gotham Bar and Grill, Aureole and Le Cirque, and here at Fives, creates what he calls "Contemporary American" cuisine, though anticipate an Asian twist. Many of the dishes are prepared with a light hand like the seared sea scallops with fennel purée, citrus salad and herb oil. Roasted stripe bass takes a Thai turn, served with Asian-style noodles and basil. Heartier menu items await as well. There are braised shortribs and beef tenderloin. The Bar at Fives boasts its own menu, serving artisanal cheeses like Swiss hoch ybrig, and simple finger foods like duck quesadillas, crab cakes and artfully presented canapes and sushi rolls. Pastry chef Larry Lopez creates a sinful and silky panna cotta served with stewed strawberries with the slightest hint of sweetness. Lopez has a way with mignardise, too. His chocolates are rich, creamy and velvety. If you decide to check in, then room service is a must. Piede's playful versions of New York classic foods on his 'snacks & the city' menu---tempt. His takes on fresh baked pretzels with spicy mustard or a 55th Street vendor hot dog with relish will keep you from ever leaving the hotel.
