While it's not as heavy-handedly masculine as others of its type, the dark, leathery tones of the Mystic Marriott's formal restaurant still manage to look as if midtown Manhattan is just beyond the door. There are options beyond the expected rib-eyes, tenderloins, and strip steaks; an interesting sidebar is the selection of "composed selections" for $19 to $32, with various meats and fish paired with starches or vegetables, such as Tunisian lamb with roasted cauliflower purée and slow braised figs, and chicken cassoulet with root vegetables and baked flageolets (young kidney beans). Starters include Kobe carpaccio and oysters from the raw bar. Nearly 30 wines are offered by the glass.
