Description

A devastating kitchen fire closed Annisa last fall after a nine-year run; now it has reopened and the food is better than ever. Roughly half the menu from before the disaster remains, including a pullet with a pig-foot dice inserted under its crisp skin, with a truffle-driven savor, and a Japanese custard dotted with morel mushrooms and gingko nuts. Newfangled stuff includes a roasted rack of lamb flaunting South African flavors, adding an extra continent to chef Anita Lo's reach. A further theme to menu is provided by a Middle-Eastern dish or two, including squab with fava beans ("Annisa" means "The Women" in Arabic). Dining is on a gently lit raised platform, and the platings are like miniature sculptures.

  • 2000 | Best New Restaurant Chef

    Anita Lo dips into a bag of tricks that includes Asian and Mediterranean elements at Annisa to create a menu full of theatrical surprises, the best of which is a pig-feet-stuffed chicken that actually tastes like something. Dramatic elements include quivering rabbit kidneys the size of kidney beans, and truffle sauce that does an impersonation of black bean sauce. The dining room makes you feel like you're sitting on a cloud. More »
