    Great spot, excellent food. Four of us shared three apps - the olives, croquettes, and chicken nuggets. Perfect amount for starters. Two ordered from the signature cocktail menu and enjoyed their drinks, although they were too sweet for me. The other two of us ordered Manhattans and they were great Well-balanced, perfect viscosity. For dinner, two of our group had burgers and enjoyed them. The burgers were on the smaller side, and came with a descent portion of fries. I had the black cod which was outstanding. The fish was delicate and flavorful, and the side dishes -sunchoke fritters and pommes dauphinoise - made for a very satisfying meal. The only bummer about the experience was the service. Our waiter couldn't really speak to the menu. His explanations were clumsy and didn't match the ingredients listed on the menu. On top of that, he disappeared for long stretches of time and more than once we had to ask the runners to locate him. Overall, great food and beautiful space.

    The black cod was perfectly cooked with a fantastic accompanying sauce. Great choice of wines by the glass. The truffle ham and cheese croquettes were a great start.

    Very weird, at a somewhat upscale restaurant, to have your server vanish for 45 minutes after your food arrives and then reappear at the end of your meal saying "I was on break". With only a random series of table bussers stopping by to clear things.

    It seems to cater to business people who stay in the hotel, but we grabbed an early dinner and really enjoyed it. Quiet, not too crowded and the service was excellent.
