Profile

The team behind Rue 57 has transformed the old Palace movie house into a place where the indecisive can share spicy lobster roll with black caviar, Shanghai-style soup dumplings, $13-an-ounce Kobe beef with wasabi, and Peking duck. Book the “sky box,” a private room where the projectionist’s booth used to be, and gaze down on the sixteen-foot Buddha, keeping the peace. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

Peking duck for two, $62; satay of Chilean sea bass with asparagus, $16; bamboo-steamed vegetable dumplings, $10; braised spicy shrimp, $28; Kobe beef, $13 per ounce; wasabi-crusted filet mignon, $34
