Rank: #48 "Arvi shook up the local scene with some trendy recent ideas from afar. You don’t make a reservation to get in here—you purchase a ticket (a system Grant Achatz popularized years ago at Next in Chicago). And once seated inside this spare industrial space with sleek modern furnishings, you’ll find that your five course-tasting menu (omnivorous or vegetarian) will be served and explained by the very same staff who worked on preparing it in the kitchen (as was popularized a decade back by Noma, and innumerable lesser restaurants since)."
