    For dinner, a friend who lives nearby roped me into trying out Crystal Spoons. At 7 p.m. on a Tuesday, we arrived to a well-decorated space - plush booths, a crystal light fixture, and a shiny bar. This made it all the more jarring that my friend and I were the only patrons there (a few more trickled in during dinner). Undeterred, we ordered the following to share: - Vegetable samosa | $8 - Chicken tikka masala (hey, not my idea) | $30 - Hyderabadi murgh dum biryani | $28 - 2 garlic naans | $6 each - Basmati rice | $6 The samosas (two large pieces) were filled with fluffy, spiced potatoes. The accompanying coleslaw was vibrantly tangy and delicious - albeit quite spicy. The chicken tikka masala had a thicker, more viscous sauce compared to the standard local fare. The biryani (with chicken) was seasoned, but not memorably so. This makes the price point hard to justify. A $30 CTM should be one of the best damned things I've ever eaten. The portion sizes were also quite "delicate." The biryani, in particular, felt more like a light lunch than a full entrée. Service was pleasant and cordial (probably helped by the fact that we were the only customers initially). That alone, however, doesn't compel me to return.

    Very nice ambiance for a Indian fine dine but service was too slow. Food was average I would say.

    Clockwise from bottom: palak paneer, yellow dal tadka, gobi manchurian, chicken rogan josh.

    Just finished a very satisfying take out meal from Crystal Spoons on an early Wednesday evening. Our East Asian family enjoys a hearty South Asian spread. Overall rating: 4.5-5 Service: n/a Ambience: 4.5, clean. Well furnished. Cozy, dim lighting. -Gobi Manchurian, dry (-ish). Spicy. It's surprisingly hard to find really good Gobi Manchurian. Crystal Spoons' version is actually one of the better ones, I've had. Texture is so important to this dish/appetizer, but this is hard to judge. Since it was takeout and had to spend 10-15 minutes in a sealed container, till I got back to my hotel room, it was not as crispy as I would've preferred; I expect this would not be an issue eating it fresh-cooked in the restaurant. Importantly, it did not have any rancid oiliness I frequently encountered from other restaurants. It certainly lived up to the spicy level we ordered! 4.5 -Rogan Josh, chicken. Medium spicy. My son rated this a 4-4.5. Tender chicken in a savory stew. Spice level seemed like actual Indian medium spiciness. -Yellow dal tadka, mild. My wife rated this a 5. The spice seemed Goldilocks and she liked the consistency. After the first "Oh, this is good!" I didn't hear much until I saw the bowl empty and my wife slurping her spoon dry. -Loosani palak paneer, mild. Honestly, the best palak paneer/saag paneer's I've had in years. This also was exquisitely spiced. My only tiny quibble was that I'd have preferred just a little more texture - it was a smidgen too puréed. That said, I had just a slight pang of regret for sharing, until I remember I stole some of my wife's dal. 4.5-5.

    I am over the MOON with Moon Bar!…read more If I could live here I would! :) Another excellent experience here and it just happened to be restaurant week. We also spent an hour at the King Tut exhibit across the street! This restaurant/bar always seems packed. And, with reservations for 645pm (highly recommend) the bar was quite busy. The buzz from this high-end cocktail bar is exactly what you want on a Friday evening; From girlfriends sipping their wine to couples laughing and swirling their cocktails, Moon Bar is for the classy and sexy. Abby our server is excellent! A mixologist who knows all the cocktails and can recommend based on your preference. I tried one of their new cocktails with bourbon and did not care for it. Abby made me my mezcal drink that I have ordered before...its the 305 cowboy, an extremely popular drink. A must try for sure! Note: Some bartenders make you feel guilty for saying something about a drink you ordered and did not like. But, here at Moon Bar, Abby was so gracious to make me something that I will enjoy. Hats off to her:) Food: Since it was restaurant week we just shared everything. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartare that was excellent. Then, we had Piri-Piri Chicken Thighs that were also good but quite spicy. For dessert, we shared the Caribbean Tiramisu, which was great. It was a tough choice between this and the Guava Cheesecake. We were so full that we ended up bringing home leftovers. Oh, I also forgot to mention we always order their Curry Fries - a must try when coming here Trust Me. My husband doesn't love curry but he loves these fries and you will too. #friesaretodiefor Moon Bar, thanks for being amazing in every way. Thanks for your splendid service, crafty cocktails, delicious wine (try the Pinot Noir from Germany), and your amazing food ---Love those Curry Fries! "Alexa, make reservations for 2 at Moon Bar for tonight." Cheers~

The cocktails were refreshing, creative and fun. Since we had just eaten we didn't have any food but will be back to try something soon.

    Excellent views and ambience. Friendly professional staff, and very nice menu. Great drinks…read more Conversations with other patrons is very knowledgeable and enjoyable. Everything is done "top notch ". Whether you are a traveler or a local, it can be either a special night out, or a regular place to frequent. Extra munchies are an added plus. Everything is slightly higher priced, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. I have been coming here for decades...since the old Ritz Carlton days, and still appreciate the revolution of this lovely spot.

    We visited on January 11th, a few weeks prior to my wedding. This was a day I had planned for…read moremonths with my daughter and future stepdaughter, an important and meaningful occasion, and the experience fell significantly below expectations. In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.
