By far the smartest Indian restaurant in town, the ambience created by the ceiling fans, wicker furniture and potted palms is straight from the British colonial era. Bombay Club is known for its setting, as well as for its gourmet regional Indian cuisine and personalised service, and was a favourite spot for the Clintons when occupying the White House across the road. Delicious naan flatbread compliments dishes ranging from fiery green chilli chicken and tandoori dishes, to rogan josh, biryanis, dhals and lobster malabar. The Sunday champagne brunch is popular. Lunch Monday to Friday, dinner daily. Reservations essential.

The breath-taking décor, including a wall that changes colour and a glass-enclosed wine cellar that encircles the dining room, complements the exquisite French-California cuisine that is a work of art as colourful, light and innovative as its surroundings. Among the many outstanding treats on the menu are truffles, lobster, or lamb rack. The Chef's Table in the kitchen is an intimate look at the top chefs in action, but must be reserved months in advance. Jacket required for dinner. Open for breakfast and dinner daily.
