    Great new place to spend a Saturday night. Was hoping for a few more tequilas but discovered it is a Mezcal bar mostly, and quite a few at that. The service was fabulous - and Carlos made sure, even with the limited tequilas over the Mezcals, that I was quite happy (Reserva de la Familia will do that for you) Being vegetarian the small bites were wonderful. My date and I both had the mushroom & corn tacos and WOW - so flavorful - and just enough spice!! Already lined up future dates to go back with other friends, this is definitely an awesome new destination!!!

    Adorn is a special night or business restaurant. Those who remember the old Four Seasons Lobby, bar and restaurant long for the good old days. But I love the light, bright contemporary decor and white table cloths. Service is perfect. If there is no DJ playing in the bar, it’s very quiet. The food is excellent. But the menu is a little too meat centric. Well it’s primarily a business expense account restaurant.
