Another big New York name that\u2019s coming across the pond is omakase icon Masa Takayama, who\u2019s behind the city\u2019s three-Michelin-starred Masa where prices start at $750-a-head. He\u2019s opening Tobi Masa<\/a>, which\u2019ll blend blends\u00a0Japanese<\/a>\u00a0minimalism with Western luxury with dishes like truffle-laced Toro Tartare and the delicate Surimi Masa Pasta.<\/p>\n Joining those two will be southern Mediterranean brasserie Serra, led by ex-Berenjak and Murano chef Alex Povall; the Eagle Bar up on the roof, with an 11-foot gold eagle sculpture for decoration and cocktails by Liana Oster, formerly of NoMad London; tearoom and dessert salon Jacqueline, run by Marius Dufay; and cafe-deli GSQ.<\/p>\n Richard Caring\u2019s version of Le Caprice was long-planned to take the final spot inside the hotel. Following Jeremy King\u2019s reopening of the original Le Caprice site in Mayfair<\/a>, now under the name Arlington, Caring was readying his reinterpretation of the iconic restaurant (he bought the name back in 2005). However, it\u2019s not been confirmed in the announcement detailing all the other food and beverage partners, and is looking increasingly unlikely to happen. We don\u2019t have any details yet of what will be taking its place, but the Financial Times is hinting that Ruth Rogers might be involved in the project.
