Now you can dress and dine like the designer. Lauren's first restaurant venture--adjacent to his Michigan Avenue retail emporium--aims to extend the designer's aesthetic to food. The menu features classic American dishes such as the RL burger and a sirloin steak prepared with stock from Lauren's own private ranch. Sunday brunch sees hearty omelets, while the lunch list includes soups, salads and seafood. Martinis are king in the quaint and sophisticated front bar area, which is paneled in sleek mahogany.
