Chef John Taboada has built a mini-empire of jewel box restaurants, which now includes Navarre, Luce and Angel Face. The flagship of the group, Navarre, pumps out an ever-changing pan-European menu from a kitchen barely bigger than a utility closest. The wine list is equally hardworking, drawing inspiration from Europe and offering a whopping 60 wines either by the glass, carafe or half bottle. While the restaurant is now pushing 15 years old, it’s still packed on a nightly basis, so be prepared to wait for a seat.
