Sibling to the acclaimed Le Bernardin, sommelier Aldo Sohm’s temple to wine is a grand place for a drink — with 40 pours by the glass and 200 by the bottle — and bites such as charcuterie and cheese, grilled avocado, or braised short ribs.

The busy, high-ceilinged dining room manages to feel fitting of both a celebratory dinner and after-work drinks.
