Photo © Iwan Baan Travertine-patterned carpeting surfaces the glass-enclosed east dining room where diners enjoy views of the Metropolitan Opera, Reflecting Pool, and Henry Moore Reclining Figure on the plaza. Photo © Iwan Baan The look of the restaurant’s Brazilian-wood ceiling flows out over the plaza in the form of a matching weatherproof laminate surface. The glazing of the east and west curtain walls rises above the roof’s edge forming transparent guardrails. Photo © Iwan Baan A glass-lined stairway leads from the Lincoln restaurant’s plaza-level dining room to the street-side reception area, prep kitchen, and wood-lined private dining room. Photo © Iwan Baan Rather than compete with the existing monumental structures, the architects created a lithe, transparent structure that enlivens West Sixty-Fifth Street with an entrance to the restaurant on its east side and the faceted, orange-glass box office of the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s new Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center on the west.
