Our panel will be on the patio of XIV. This upscale Philippe Starck-designed SBE restaurant is like a cozy French chateau. Citysearch praises its " five fireplaces in a row, the repetitive reflection of the mirrored walls, the faux fur throws strewn across the leather settees or the metallic sheath of the glowing rectangular bar and open kitchen."
