There is plenty of parking, either on the street or behind the hotel. Parking gets full during events, but we've never had a problem finding a spot. They take reservations, so if you have a larger party, it is a good idea to make one. We usually sit at the bar for dinner if it's just the two of us. The craft cocktails are amazing and the service has always been great each time we've been there. The food is good. We especially loved the Strawberry Brie and Ben Ben shrimp. The wedge salad is one of my staple go-tos. I've also enjoyed the Tavern smashburger, salmon, and fish & chips. They have daily specials on different nights and I can say their Monday night Cavatelli Bolognese special is AMAZING. I give that dish 10 stars. My son loves the wings and says they are the best he's had. Overall a solid 5 stars! The only down side is that the cocktails are pretty expensive, but if you like a unique craft cocktail, treat yourself to one! They change the menu regularly so it's fun to see what they are mixing up.

Service was outstanding and the food was throughly enjoyed across our party of four . I kicked off with deviled eggs and followed with lamb shepherds pie . Both the appetizer and entree were fantastic . The shepherds pie was filling and I loved the presentation of the potato surrounding the lamb and vegetables. My fiancee had Caesar salad to start followed by salmon . Similar to my summary that both dishes were fantastic. We will definitely be back again.

I was not impressed with the brunch buffet. We went on New Year's Day, and while I'm not sure if…read morethe regular Saturday/Sunday buffet is different, this review reflects our NY Day experience. The selection was disappointing. I was hoping for a wide variety of fresh fruit, but there was very little to choose from. The pineapple looked old, and the salmon toast appeared to have been sitting out for quite some time. I can't say for certain whether it was kept on ice, but it didn't seem like it. One bright spot was the made-to-order omelets and scrambles, which were fresh and enjoyable. Our server was also very kind and attentive. The Belgian waffle was tasty, and I appreciated the variety of fancy toppings available. Overall, I was disappointed, especially given the high caliber I expect from Margaux Markets. The lack of variety on the buffet--particularly the limited and unappealing fruit selection--was my biggest let down.

Excellent place for drinks and dinner. Stopped by at the…read morebar and met Sara, the bartender. She was pretty knowledgeable about the cocktail menu and helped me choose one that wasn't too sweet. The medicine man is like a smoked old fashioned in my opinion. It was lovely. Their namesake old fashioned was good too. I chatted with Sara for awhile, long enough to have two drinks- but I also got one to go, because I was headed to an event at the Jw Marriott. I got The Flight of Icarus. This is a rum based cocktail and it is very good. After the event, I went back to the bar and sat for dinner. I had the Bread & Fat, which is their bread service with rotating butter (that night was jalapeño tomato) and it's not free but it's cheap. Good stuff. The bread was thick like Japanese sliced bread. Their mussels appetizer is delicious. The sauce includes some sort of ground up sausage which I believed to be chorizo. It's a good portion. And it comes with a different bread. I used that bread to soak up the sauce! For dinner I had the Campanelle pasta. It was basically a pork ragu. Really good. There was no room for dessert - just another cocktail! The Chat Noir was a nice ending to my evening. I enjoyed chatting with Sara and Isabella at the bar. They kept me company. What a nice evening I had! I'd love to come back and try some of their other dishes. They were out of the prime steak tartare, so I'll get that next time, along with their trout, halibut or half chicken. Yum. Parking is valet or the garage across. The restaurant has bathrooms or you can use hotel bathrooms. It's a large restaurant with nice views of the river. I had a reservation but didn't need one.

The outside seating isn't my favorite since it's on the front sidewalk and can get a little busy, but we got there close to when they opened for a weekend brunch so I don't know if that's why the service moved a little bit slow, but we were enjoying ourselves so it was too much of a bother. I've ordered off of both their dinner and brunch menu, both were winners! Everything I've had has always been flavorful and they give very generous portions. My wife and I have learned that if we share an app, there is no way we can finish an entree as well so be prepared for leftovers. I've had several different gyros and have greatly enjoyed them all. Their fries are consistently crunchy and flavored well. OHHHHHH. I also LOVE that they serve Turkish coffee - it reminds me of my childhood and it's just so delicious. All in all I for sure recommend to anyone. I will continue eating there and sharing it with others!

I stopped in for drinks and did not try any of the food, so I can't speak to that part of the menu. The atmosphere is the real star of the show. I met a friend here for drinks and enjoyed catching up while taking in the city views. The cocktails were good, the service was friendly, and the space itself is beautiful. Drinks are definitely on the pricier side, but you're paying for the rooftop experience. Overall, it's a fun spot for date night, girls' night, or when you have friends visiting from out of town.

We chose this restaurant expecting a more upscale dining experience based on the pricing, but…read moreunfortunately it fell short in several areas. I will address the positive things first. We were seated very promptly since we had a reservation. The outside of restaurant is beautiful and has a huge parking lot. The area where we were seated was really nice with windows all along the wall. And our appetizers- the dressed eggs and lobster ravioli were amazing!! One of the biggest issues was the number of gnats flying around our table throughout the meal. We constantly had to swat them away from our wine glasses, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the evening. I understand the occasional gnat. But this was kind of ridiculous. The service was also disappointing. Our server mentioned that he had worked at the restaurant for quite some time, but he didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu and wasn't able to answer questions confidently. He was also not very attentive, and we often had to wait longer than expected for check-ins. Our food came out quickly but the wine always took quite a while to come to the table. The food itself was good, but when you're paying fine-dining prices, you expect the entire experience--including the atmosphere and service--to match. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues because it has the potential to provide a much better dining experience. Also, I would skip the sea bass entree. I was not really impressed with it and wished that I had ordered a pasta dish. However the server helped me decide and chose the sea bass. I loved the atmosphere. I loved the decor. I loved the wine and appetizers. But everything else just did not impress me. Not for the amount of money we dropped on this meal. I doubt I will return.

It doesn't really work for my tastes, but also wouldn't stop me from visiting. The light kevel difference when it's bright outside and you enter and it's a little hard to see, but you quickly adjust. I ordered their Hamburger ($15 + $1 for cheese) it is a Charbroiled ground sirloin patty served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and onion. The patty was small, probably a 1/4 pound patty. The meat is tasty and definitely good quality meat. The veggies were super fresh. However the burger to veggie equation was way too far on the veggie side. Also at $16 it is way too small. I think if the doubled the size of the patty or just did a double patty they would have a good thing going. At it current size and price though I couldn't recommend. zi got fries with it and they were very good. The service was very good. Alan seemed to enjoy his job and it showed in his service. overall sadly it is only a 3 star review. The atmosphere and small size of meat vs price. Plus the place was just really loud. Would I return? No. If someone else wanted to go, I wouldn't be opposed, but on my own I wouldn't!

The menu in the entrance features Rueben soup- a cup or a bowl. No price! Wait until you get the bill --$8.50 a CUP ! Thankfully, we didn't each order a Bowl! The soup was mediocre at best. After questioning the price, our Waitperson assured us that the bowl was chuck-full of Corned Beef, as if that alone justified the price! (And what else goes into Rueben soup?) The $4.00 split charge for plates will not entice diners to rush back! We split the wet burrito. The portion size would justify that added cost, but not in this case! I do have to give them a "thumbs up" on the drinks; but the price points on the rest of the menu are certainly not appealing!
