The Pods

Cues

Ask to sit at the chef's counter rather than a regular table — you'll get explanations of each dish and occasionally extra tastings between courses. The wine pairings are overpriced, but they allow you to bring your own bottle for a reasonable corkage fee.

Insider Cue

Fine dining restaurant on Bluewaters Island with a creative tasting menu format. Book in advance — tables go quickly. The set menu changes seasonally and is the best way to experience the kitchen.

Insider Cue

Description

The Pods nails the sweet spot between technique and approachability—the tasting menu format keeps things focused without the pretension of high-end fine dining. Hit it on a Thursday when the chef's in a creative mood and you'll understand why Design District insiders keep this spot on rotation.
