    The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. We had a table by the window. The mixed drinks at $14.00 each (no specified brands) I thought were a bit pricey; however, they were well made. I would definitely to back.

    The service was wonderful. Attentive and courteous. The food was hit or miss. Not a great selection and some came out of the kitchen cold, others perfect. I had two reservations and wanted to try to seat them close together. I spoke with someone two evenings before and he said he made a note on the reservations and to check with the restaurant the morning of the reservation to reiterate the request. Hostess was short and brusque with me and said there was no note. I was left feeling as though I did something wrong, rather than a mistake was made and she would do her best to accommodate me.

    Extremely overpriced with 2 eggs for breakfast at $25. It was ordinary and neither the food nor the service merited the price.

    AVOID! The WORST place I have ever been. The quality for the price is absolutely shameful. We had a reservation, which we were on time for. No one was there to greet us, we waited 15 mins for someone to finally reassure we were going to be seated. The service is terrible ! Three different servers came to our table, there was so organization amongst the staff. The bread was stale, the steak was rubbery. AVOID at all costs.

    The thanksgiving meal was in a type of cafe area of the hotel... not what we expected at all... no special effort made for thanks giving at all. As is often the case Americans don’t understand starter first and try to shove all the food at you in one go! At one point my drink was whipped away... I didn’t ask for another drink but one came up, but my friends weren’t given a choice of extra! At the end our credit cards were taken away from us and were absent for about 10 mins... this is worrying as there is no need for that with portable machines. The meal was nice but overall very poor value for money

    The Thanksgiving Menu was really good, especially paired with wine. The service was excellent and we had a great view of the city :)

    Food was good, service was poor. Waiter kept bringing the wrong food to the wrong person, spilled wine on the table, and forgot two dishes that were ordered.
