Silhouette Restaurant & Lounge, Bronx

At Silhouette Restaurant & Lounge, white tables sit between the white upholstered booths, and decorative white orbs dangle from the ceiling. It's a carte blanche, literally, for the lavender light that permeates the restaurant, turning all the white to glowing purple. It's an ultra-modern setting, which lends a nightclub feel to Latin-American meals of snapper ceviche with green papaya, and pan-seared Chilean sea bass adorned with pumpkin puree. Even the caesar salad has some Latin flair with a topping of manchego cheese. After 11 p.m. on weekend nights, the eatery turns from a nightclub-style restaurant to a full-on nightclub, hosting DJ sets, birthday parties, and high-octane napping contests.
