The Toptable group's Victoria showpiece: Japanese-style raw bar, West Coast plates, and the atrium is where the intimate seats live.

More infoMarilena is the Toptable group's love letter to Victoria, with a Japanese-style raw bar and West Coast plates that make walking in feel like an event. Here is the insider move: when you book, ask specifically for the atrium, a softer, glassy, quieter space that turns dinner properly intimate. Order from the raw bar, share something off the kitchen menu, and dress the part.
When you book, request the atrium specifically, that's the whole move, the main room is lovely but loud. Start at the raw bar with oysters or the crudo, then split one thing off the kitchen menu so dinner stays a conversation, not a competition. Dress a notch up and let the polish carry the table for a couple of hours; the heated patio's the warm-weather backup if the atrium's spoken for.
