A5 Steakhouse

A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a glassy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.
