Wild Lotus

The younger, sexier sister of Wild Rice, Wild Lotus opened in 2004 in a multilevel colonial villa that was transformed into an Asian-chic dining venue. The entrance is framed by dramatically lit lotus ponds and the décor of the dining rooms, spread across two upper floors, boldly mixes countries and periods, from Buddha sculptures and Balinese furnishings to lacquer accents and contemporary Vietnamese art. While Wild Rice focuses on upscale interpretations of Vietnamese cuisine, Wild Lotus features dishes that draw inspiration from across Southeast Asia. The lounge on the top floor is a great stop for pre-dinner cocktails.
