Turning up the heat in the dreary Garment District, Kristalbelli is a sexy harbinger of this fast-changing neighborhood. Outside, the gray slate and marble façade and impressive wooden door imply opulence; inside, crystal barbeque grills set on grey marble framed by a jolly gold monk bring table-top dining over-the-top. The fun and bling continues upstairs, in the young, hip, and hopping lounge. Yet amid all this glitz and glam is a well-trained service team and very talented kitchen. Banchan opens with a superlative assortment that might include green chilies with fermented bean paste, marinated mushrooms, cold egg custard with scallions, and kimchi. A sparkling signature crystal bowl does not distract from the deeply favored, almost buttery ribeye.
