Vitae Restaurant

The wine-friendly cuisine is deeply flavorful fare, hearty but not heavy, and presented with flair. There are over 100 wine selections from around the world with 25 available by the glass. The richly designed and cutting-edge interior decor is modern, warm and sensual. Walls are dressed in soft shades of bronze, copper and gold that host artwork by celebrity-collected Long Islander, Dean Johnson. In the lounge, the amber back-lit bar with honey onyx marble top incorporates panels of glass basket-weave tiles. A striking floor-to-ceiling wine room, encased in glass with brushed chrome racks, showcases the 1400-bottle inventory.

In the dining room, banquette seating, upholstered in burgundy leather, complements chairs with textured fabric and sleek table tops of mahogany with a walnut finish. Soft lighting reflects the warm and inviting ambience. The building has a modern design evident in the dining room and lounge and also offers dining al fresco in season.
