Everyone from serious food lovers to socialites converges at this celebrated restaurant. A Drew Nieporent venture (like NYC`s Nobu and Montrachet), Rubicon is known for its celebrity owners (Robin Williams, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert DeNiro). All dishes are handled with a distinctive flair. The scallops on a bed of mashed potatoes cause a stir, and lamb and ahi tuna are excellent. Master sommelier Larry Stone`s wine list is superb and desserts are breathtaking.
Serving a French and Californian fare, this is a fine dining bistro. Expect the average entrée to cost between $20 and $30, and there`s a prix-fixe menu. Plan to dress casual, but fashionable.
