Sold to new owners in 2006, Rogano boasts a well-preserved Art Deco interior patterned after the Queen Mary ocean liner that dates back to the opening of the oyster bar here in 1935. Since then, the space has expanded, and Rogano has hosted virtually every visiting celebrity to the city. You can enjoy dinner amid etched mirrors, ceiling fans, semicircular banquettes, and potted palms. Service is attentive and informed. The menu emphasizes seafood, such as halibut in champagne-and-oyster sauce or lobster Thermidor. While these are traditional if possibly old-fashioned recipes, they have their fans. A less-expensive menu is offered downstairs in the less-exclusive Cafe Rogano, where the price of main courses hover around the £12 ($22) mark.
