    It’s a hotel cocktail bar that serves food service French fries. Probably better later at night.

    Made a reservation in advance for 10am brunch - showed up and the doors were locked, though they are listed as being open until 11am. Called repeatedly to no answer, left a voicemail to see if I could get a call back, nothing. Things happen, but to not post any updates for early closures, not contact or cancel reservations ahead of time, etc. is unprofessional. It’s impossible to get brunch reservations in this city anymore, and when you do, things like this happen more and more. Went down the street to the Dubliner for reliable service…

    Went here before a concert in the Theater district. The space and the atmosphere are nice, the food was standard fare but good, and the drinks were great. The only criticism is that the atmosphere would have been better if the lights were dimmed down a bit, for a more loungy vibe.
