Description

Designed for recovery between gallery runs, the lounge offers a calm space where visitors can regroup. It serves as a quiet oasis for a solo lunch, though it is a notably expensive stop. While some praise the seafood salad, espresso, or spicy cocktails, overall reviews on food and drink quality are mixed. Service is a high point, with guests noting the helpful maître d’ and attentive waitstaff.
