RESTAURANTS

Makoto, named for Iron Chef Makoto Okuwa, presents an elegant menu that gets playful with its spin on Asian classics. Owned by famed restaurateur Stephen Starr (Morimoto, Buddakan and Alma de Cuba, among others), Makoto seats up to 200 in an elegant dining room and patio designed by the French firm Gilles & Boissier. The restaurant’s warmth comes through with golden walls, wide-plank floors and lighting that give off a rosy glow. And although the décor is enviable, the main attraction here is the sushi bar, bincho-charcoal robata grill and the sake-focused beverage menu.
