I read some negative reviews and almost cancelled our reservation. VERY glad I didn’t. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful, our servers were attentive, food came out fast. We mostly enjoyed the sweet dishes like the Brioche French Toast and the lemon mascarpone pancakes. The gruyer omelet was nothing special. The decorations in the Hotel are beautiful. Would come again! I requested a table with a view because it was my daughter’s bday and we had a great table! Also host said Happy bday to her when we arrived!

Every aspect of the experience was beyond what we wanted. All the other restaurants in New York put us shoulder to shoulder with other people and had a noise level beyond reason. Our server Elizabeth "like the queen" comped numerous drinks just because the first round wasn't right away, which was still a reasonable time, and she gave super attentive service the entire time. Food was absolutely amazing, very impressed by presentation and taste. The best dining experience we had on our new York trip. Would recommend and will come back the next time we come back to New York.
