Service and ambience were wonderful. Grilled Caesar salad with apple and almonds was delicious. Grilled octopus was excellent. Skip dessert but stay after dinner and try the bar adjacent to the dining room for an after dinner drink. Save time to wander the hotel lobby filled with interesting art.

The bartenders were friendly as can be. The hostess and waitress were rude and unfriendly. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere was cool. Don't know if we'll be back.
