Curious about the jazz entertainment in the hagley room ? We all enjoyed the experience!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood food, good service, but...This was my first visit here. The food was excellent, service and friendlyness of e staff was great. My only complaint was that, as a couple, we were told we could not be seated at a booth because they needed them for larger parties. My wife wanted to sit side by side because it was a special celebration. I asked the manager and he said he could seat us at a private booth across from the kitchen, which was very cozy actuall better than the regular booths. When we were finished, we exited out the restaurant and noticed a couple (2 people) sitting at a large booth, the same booth we were told we couldn't sit at because it was reserved for larger parties.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat !great food & service as usuall!

The lights are low but not so low that you cannot see what you are eating. We had a booth and that helped keep the noise level to a minimum. There are very few places to go downtown after a movie or for a meal that is good for the middle to older generation. This is not a bar scene. There is a lounge in the hotel with couches music and a portion of the restaurant menu. This lounge is also a very appealing place to enjoy an evening3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMA good solid choice for aA good solid choice for a business lunch, or evening dinner.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat upscale ItalianGreat meal before a Sharks game.
