Description:

It pains us to single out a top-end restaurant in a city where you can eat like a feudal lord for peanuts, but the Park Hyatt's signature dining venue is arguably the finest in Vietnam.  Fusion food is tackled successfully elsewhere in town, but the menu here wisely opts to eschew the 'throw it all together' approach in favor of a judicious selection of both western and eastern dishes. To wit, grilled meats are as good as anything you'll experience in the very finest steakhouse while the Vietnamese offerings are pimped out versions of the ones available elsewhere. Accordingly, the summer rolls (Goi Cuon) are fresher than a breeze from the South China Sea while the red grouper wrapped in pandanus leaf is a veritable giant.  Additional touches mark this venue out too. The open kitchen offers a ringside seat of the expertise on show while the chilled jazz beats and low-lit atmosphere inject an extra dose of romance into an already alluring tableaux.
