Nue

This modern Vietnamese restaurant turns out stylish dishes and dramatic Instagram-ready cocktails in a floral dining room swathed in impressionist pastels. The flavors are just as artful as the aesthetics, whether a chicken-liver mousse infused with pho spices or ultra-crispy shrimp-and-pork spring rolls ready to wrap in fresh herbs and lettuces. Of the larger dishes, our favorite is handmade pappardelle with a lemongrass-accented braised-short-rib ragu that channels the flavors of a hearty Vietnamese beef stew. A tropical chè parfait of mango, lychee, and tapioca is a light but satisfying end note.
