Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
The acclaimed Foreign Cinema restaurant, which opened in 1999 and is helmed by James Beard Award-nominated chefs John Clark and Gayle Pirie, takes its name from its open-air seating area, which presents screenings of international and classic films throughout the week for diners to enjoy during their meals. Elegant Mediterranean-inspired dinner options include five-spice duck breast, Kobe bistro steak with cocoa-ajwaan rub, and Madras curry-sesame fried chicken.
A full raw oyster and caviar bar is complemented by gourmet appetizers such as tuna poke and sirloin carpaccio. At brunch, diners can enjoy clever mock Pop Tarts stuffed with organic fruit such as rhubarb and pineapple, paired with entree options such as baguette French toast with wild huckleberries or Persian-style flat omelettes.
