Twinning in the New Year at Buddakan. We feasted on a series of well conceived dishes (fish, chicken, shrimp, steak, duck, rice, noodles, dim sum and more!) and tasty cocktails by Hennessy.

Newcomer Marble Lane in the Dream Downtown has swagger. The upbeat vibe, low lighting, leather banquettes, sleek glass fixtures and party playlist makes the swanky Mepa resto a destination for many.

There was a good mix of people when we arrived, and as the night progressed patrons in suits were replaced with sexy women in minis and hipster dudes. Even though Marble Lane is housed in the middle of the hotel lobby, the sunken structure creates a good separation for the club-like resto. And the party doesn’t end here- after dinner head up to PH-D Rooftop Lounge for more cocktails, hot beats and exquisite views.

The inventive steakhouse menu with global influences comes to us by way of former Top Chef contestant, Manuel Trevino. He delivers creative preparations of steak, seafood and pasta dishes.

Celebrity Chef Tom Colicchio delivers a dual dining experience at Colicchio & Sons in Mepa. The Tap Room is the more casual and affordable section, while the main dining room offers a fine dining experience with a towering wine rack separating the two. The rustic and elegant atmosphere coupled with fantastic service and a few solid dishes makes the Tap Room a good neighborhood option.

While the food at C&S didn’t blow my mind, the burger and fish stew were on point!
