Parris

If Alice in Wonderland grew up to swill martinis, this is where she'd go. But she'd have to find it first: Patrons enter through neighboring Ned Devine's and make their way down a second-floor hallway. The decor is rich and intriguingly offbeat. Creamy leather barstools are paired with oversized high-backed winged sofas with eccentric, curvy lines. A few steps away, the cavernous dance hall evokes a high school gym made up for Prom Night.

Standouts include the signature truffled polenta logs, mini brioche beef sliders, a BLT with Serrano ham, and the sake drunken berry cup for dessert.
