Some great, some ok. Beautiful space. Confusing trying to figure out which waiter was "ours" they all seemed to come to the table, or all ignore us at the same time.

The inside lounge area seemed very swank with dark lighting and cozy booths. The outside lounge had comfy couches and big umbrellas on a not too busy street. The menus were laminated and offputting. As wat the waiter's description of crepes that were pre-made and heated up. Steak frites and the various fries were good, but the sauces not so much. Desserts were large, but not impressive.

We went here in the winter shortly after it opened and were impressed by the quality of the food and service. But when we returned in June with some of our friends, we had a totally clueless server who didn't know what a martini was and didn't understand that we wanted the bottle of wine we ordered as an aperitif. She brought the pommes frites as an appetizer and brought each entree at a different time. Kind of spoiled the whole evening...

Sexy and beautifully done sparse decore topped off by very decent food, and excellent service.

The service was fantastic at this nicely lit and well-designed restaurant. Unfortunately, it seems that hotel restaurants will always feel like - well, hotel restaurants. The food was prettily presented, but ultimately disappointing (given the cost).
