Set high in the sky on the top floor of a prewar Columbia University-area building, this restaurant offers panoramic views of the city and a rich selection of eclectic fare to match. The haute menu of seared sweetbreads, foie gras torchon, smoked salmon, lobster and caviar make dining a luxe event. And Terrace in the Sky is ideal for romance with its elegant linen-topped tables, soft candlelit ambience and views that are truly beyond compare.
