To be fair, it's also (or more accurately, really) named after the very famous highly architecturally significant NYC office building in which it's located.

Indeed!

Lever House is one of those restaurants that had caught my fancy when it first open. However, with almost uniformly disappointing reviews and reactions, I never put it on my agenda.

Now that Bradford Thompson, formerly of Mary Elaine's at the Phoenician in Phoenix, is taking over the kitchen, I'm hoping that I'll have a better reason to visit Lever House. What limited experience I have with Chef Thompson's cooking has been positive.

Thompson is a serious chef. It looks like they're trying to put some sparkle into the kitchen here. They need to focus on front-of-house, too; When I visited, service was spotty.
