"A Night Out With Your Boss Think of Vernick when you have to survive a fancy business meal with someone who could fire you. This is not the time for a 30-minute wait and three Parc martinis, even if you want it to be. What you need is a painless reservation, one bottle of expensive wine, and some nice roast chicken. The food here is seasonal American and consistently great, but it's also safe. Think crudo, steaks the size of plates, and pasta like tagliatelle bolognese, all of which will appeal to someone who earns more money than you will in your lifetime. " - candis mclean
