Description
Inside the six-story Beaux-Arts landmark, the experience unfolds across chic, warmly lit rooms and bars. The glamorous, compact spaces can feel a bit formal or tight to some, though the setting is widely praised for special occasions. The kitchen turns out dishes like roasted duck breast and crab tortellini, though diner opinions on the food range from disappointing to superb. Given the high prices and modest portions, it serves best as a celebratory destination, supported by a strong cocktail program and curated wine list.
