Epicures vie for a table at Restaurant Trokay, where chef-owners John and Nyna Weatherson dream up prix-fixe menus with imaginative ingredients and artful flavor combinations. The dining room’s green walls and contemporary design create an inviting space to relax and focus on the food, which is designed to amaze—roasted parsnip bisque, ash-cured trout, porcini mushroom borscht. Best of all, the beautifully plated dishes are served without a hint of attitude; even new customers are treated like family. If you wish you could cook with similar skill, sign up for one of the in-house classes, which cover topics like knife skills, roasted meats, cheese, basic kitchen techniques, and more.
