Union League Cafe

This fine French restaurant has been racking up best-of awards for years now. We have no problem adding our own, thanks to the consistently excellent food. The exquisite menu changes often, with dishes such as tuna carpaccio, pepper-crusted duck, and risotto with morel mushrooms making appearances. Housed in the historical Sherman building, the Beaux Arts interior is romantic without being stuffy, and the adjoining club room is perfect for cocktails both before and after dinner.
