Dining at Annisa is an experience in sweetness and light: chef Anita Lo's ethereal, creative cooking is served in a spare bone-color room. Modern French technique mixes with Asian influences to create seared foie gras with soup dumplings and jicama, boneless spare ribs revivified with a shrimp stuffing and a shrimp roe sauce, and pan-roasted chicken stuffed with pig's feet and truffles. The wine list, created by Roger Dagorn of Chanterelle, features the work of women wine makers and winery owners. From the innovative hors d'oeuvres to the delicate petit fours, Annisa raises the bar (and the price tag) on neighborhood dining. Reservations essential. Jacket required. Subway: 1, 9 to Christopher St./Sheridan Sq.
