We’ve dined here several times for dinner and stopped n after a performance next door for cocktails and desserts. I dig the throwback feel of the classic high end hotel anchored restaurant. The service has been consistently solid, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised w several offerings such as the authentic housemade Caesar salad, the large size of the shrimp cooked just right and the artistic desserts. I even tried a mocktail our server recommended as I sometimes do and was not disappointed, although they could perhaps add a few more original offerings in this avenue to mix it up some more. Oh yes, forgot to mention the humus plate was a really nice starter, so fresh! Enjoy. - renegadegeeK
