Dining room at Gilt, New York, NYSituated in the nineteenth-century Villard Mansion (attached to the New York Palace hotel)---once home to Le Cirque 2000---Gilt oozes the decadence of a bygone era with a shot of contemporary flair. In the bar room, ornate neo-classical walls are bathed in purple hues, lit from behind the banquettes. In the dark paneled Hunt Room, diners can choose between a three-course, five-course and grand seven-course meal, each stage fully explained by the attentive waitstaff. The menu, now overseen by Justin Bogle, who replaces Christopher Lee, boasts seasonal ingredients and changes accordingly. Regular options include Maine diver scallops served with seared foie gras, Jerusalem artichokes, Meyer lemon and quince. The Australian rack of venison offers a mélange of flavors: a root beer purée of carrots, red cabbage, baby leeks and brandied cherry venison jus. Each course is paired with a wine from the restaurant's 59-page wine list, which spans the globe.
