“Set on the fourth floor of the Fairlane Hotel, Ellington’s throws it back to an old-school era of dining. The room is set with mid-century-modern chairs and tables, brass details and tall, upright greenery, while a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows shows off views of downtown’s cityscape. The menu matches the mood with classics like oysters Rockefeller, topped with pink peppercorn butter, a modern riff on a Waldorf salad, and showstoppers like the lobster Thermidor and crispy cornish game hen. Go for happy hour to find $5 plates of truffled fingerling frites and half-priced cocktails, like the French 95 made with Belle Meade bourbon, citrus juices and a splash of prosecco.”

Refined restaurant with a wraparound terrace offering mid-century staples with a modern twist.
