The room and ambiance is nice. Unfortunately, they are not adequately staffed to keep up with a full house and this results in service standards akin to a poorly managed fast food restaurant and similar quality cuisine, a complete mismatch with the loveliness of the hotel itself. We would never go back, and given that this is the hotel’s only dinner option, we will reconsider staying at Langham again as well.

Rip off menu, sat in a terrible spot, wine pairing was not paired correctly (came out far before the meals and a 2oz pour was gone before the food)

Lovely spot for a drink on a Friday. So nice they have a jazz duet live to listen to. Prices are a bit high, but the food and service were excellent. Would recommend for a first date, first drink, or a date with your partner

Bar seats were super comfortable and large. Didn’t feel like you were sitting on top of your neighbors. Bartender was super personable and great drinks! Perfect cozy winter spot. Highly recommend.

Expensive place in an expensive hotel, with slow, poor service and rude staff. Not at all the experience you would expect at a 5 star hotel, or any business for that matter.

The menu is limited but OK. The crab cakes were dry and the pretzels were overheated and hard. The service was slow.
