The one real culinary success story at Union Station, Pierpont’s lives up to its namesake — millionaire J. Pierpont Morgan — in spirit and tastefulness. The dining rooms at Pierpont’s are striking, particularly the central room, with its soaring 25-foot ceilings, stone floors and intimate banquettes. Service is formal and attentive, and chef Brandon Crain’s cuisine melds regional ingredients (grilled steaks, rotisserie chicken) with French-influenced sauces — even a plain steak is drizzled with a potent jus lie flavored with truffle oil. On Sunday nights, the restaurant offers a “small plates” menu so adventurous diners can taste petite versions of several expensive dishes, along with salads and desserts. Every other night, this blue-chip restaurant makes a first-rate impression. — Charles Ferruzza
