elegant white canopy tents are a perfect backdrop for the black-clad 30- and 40-something crowd. With its south-facing view, the party-minded are sunlit by day and bathed in the glow of the city lights by night. Daily 5pm-2am. The Clincher: If you book a table for bottle service, chef Scott Doust's entire
menu will also be at your beck and call.
