Another yearly birthday bestie dinner well spent. Modern French with intricate sized dishes, savory flavors, and compact but strong cocktails was what made a good girls night together. Salmon En Croute, Roasted Duck, and the Viennese Apple Strudel were the main recommended dishes pointed out by our host and server. I loved how slippery the salmon was right off the marrow bone and offered in 2 pieces each for my bestie and I to share. The roasted duck was freshly soaked in marinade with a tiny of charred skin if you don't mind dining the best yet unhealthy part of any poultry. For dessert, we could've chosen the usual creme brûlée but wanted to select the Viennese Apple Strudel as we don't often find this dish. Flaky exterior with rum raisins and frozen buttermilk - so good and had to include the anatomy of the dessert. All of these went well with my Einspanner cocktail because how else would I enjoy a Viennese coffee cocktail during our annual girls dinner?
My friend and I stopped by for brunch last weekend - we didn't have a reservation but there were plenty of tables open for us. (Seems they might be more of a dinner place). The ambiance is very nice - not too loud - and the decor feels very casually elegant. We started with a duck liver parfait. The brioche was really delicious - light, fluffy, and buttery, and it paired wonderfully with the richer and savoury flavours of the duck. I do wish they gave a bit more bread, the parfait was really delicious, but a little too heavy to eat just by itself, and the ratio of duck to bread was a little skewed (in our opinion) haha. We also ordered the Ei im Glass - also fantastic, although the pedant in me wants to note that there were technically two eggs. Anyways, the poached eggs were cooked perfectly with a deliciously runny yolk, and the Hollandaise was really excellent. I'd definitely recommend this, it was a really authentic representation of a classic Viennese dish. The schnitzel was good, but didn't shine as much. I think the biggest flaw was the breading, which felt a bit light and airy. The pork itself was tasty, and I really, really adored the potato salad, which was cooked to a perfect tenderness and paired with a lovely creamy sauce. Finally we shared the apple strudel. The apple flavour was really fresh and paired nicely with the cinnamon, but I did feel that the pastry was a little bit soggier than I would have liked -- I fear it didn't quite have that classic flakiness. In any case, it was a super yummy meal all around, and price point was honestly quite reasonable (and better than I expected given the quality of food). I'd be keen to come back to give their dinner menu a try!
The food did LOOK appetizing on google map, but did not taste accordingly. Reserved online but had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. While we wait standing by the bar, front desk rudely told us to NOT to BLOCK the way. ? We went up and the tables were completely empty, VERY CONFUSED, if all empty why were we waiting for such a long time? And, why were we getting the secondary, nearly-empty, upstairs seat, if we had reserved and waited? Food is not as good as expected. Endive salad is ok, and the deserts are ok, but the main dishes are disappointingly mediocre. Dorade is too dry, Duck Suzette is weirdly too gamey, unlike the taste of ANY duck meat I have had in my life. The food did LOOK appetizing on google map, but did not taste accordingly.
Was a bit skeptical to be dining at a hotel adjacent food spot but this place was exceptional. The food was really well made especially the savory and sweet soufflé which I would highly recommend. The place was dimly lit and lovely enough a a date spot. There's a sommelier to help you pair wine selection, which is extensive including a few NA options (by the glass). Pretty attentive staff just be prepared for lots of reminders on your reservation
They're in the hotel next door, they have their own entrance but if you need to use the restroom, you have to ask the host. They provide you with a keycard and you go through the cafe in the hotel to the restroom in the basement. I've been here a couple times now but only for brunch and really enjoyed their eggs each time. I have gotten the Ei em glas and their Kernöl. It's so simple but done so well. I like mezcal, and I really enjoyed their slice of Oaxaca drink, it is smoky and not too sweet.
I went in specifically for the salmon en croute. Surprisingly, it wasn't on the menu and I had to specifically ask if they had it. Luckily they did! After trying it, it's definitely one of my most memorable salmon dishes I've ever had
Came here for brunch with a friend on a Sunday. I think this is more of a dinner spot as there were not very many people there in the morning at around 10am. We had a reservation and were seated immediately and greeted promptly by the server. We ordered the Palatschinken (a crepe with apricot filling dusted with confectioners sugar), the pain a chocolat, and the lobster burger. The apricot crepe was fine. The texture was nice, but I really couldn't taste the apricot which I was really hoping would shine through the whipped cream and powdered sugar. The croissant was pretty standard, nothing special. My favorite thing we ordered was the lobster burger! It was really lemony and fresh and didn't fall apart as you ate it. I would definitely come back for dinner!
Brunch review. Just order it all. And if you can't order it all, get these: - Carrot Bread: Better than your grandma's - Roasted Beets "Linzer": A deconstructed beet linzer cookie, complete with pieces of candied orange and hazelnut crust to complement the sweetness of the pink and red beets. Why hasn't anyone thought to make a salad taste like a cookie? Genius. - Kernöl: Tasty "styrian-style" soft scrambled eggs with plenty of homemade baked bread to slather them on. - Goulash: As good was what I had in Hungary and savory enough to make me cry tears of joy. I could eat that buttered spätzle every day. - Viennese Apple Strudel: I generally don't care for apple desserts, but of course Koloman made me temporarily change course with its flaky, crusty, perfectly spiced pastry with rum raisins, toasted hazelnuts and frozen buttermilk. I spent a week in Vienna and don't know if I had any apple strudel there as good as this. We first experienced Koloman at an LA Times-hosted food festival. Among so many A-list restauranteurs, their offerings stood out as one of the best. Now that the restaurant has successfully passed my brunch test, I'll quite happily shell out more for dinner. Besides, it's good practice for when I jet off to Germany in a couple of months. Mmmm, endless spätzle....
TLDR: Replacing what was The Breslin is now Koloman. This is a very European restaurant. I've only been for lunch but for this level of dining, probably one of the better prefixe menus. I think the focaccia is worth it and for my selections, tartare, schnitzel and strudel. I went through a week of just eating a lot of fancy lunches solo. This day I hit up Koloman as I was curious about their prefixe for awhile. I added the warm pumpkin focaccia and yeah - that was tasty. Definitely rubbed in plenty of oil but it was nicely crispy on the outside but oh so fluffy on the inside. That butter was something else too. For the selections I started with the tartare. Typical french preparation, not too eggy or rich. Adequate acidity and very flavorful. Schnitzel. I wanted to like this a bit more but it was still good. The schnitzel coating was quite thin but maybe the way it was plated on top of each other - it kind of steamed out the coating and it just fell off. I liked the warm potato salad that accompanied it. I still am not a fan of lingonberry but I can appreciate it. Strudle. Very thin layers, tasty but maybe too much powdered sugar for my preference. Overall - I liked the food enough that Id' be back and maybe try some other things on the menu. Standout for me on this meal though? Focaccia, tartare.
Food was really good and I really like the space here as it feels very french and upscale. Great decor and the food came out quickly. Fast service and got to try their foodweek set menu which was really good but a bit on the pricier side. Would definitely come back for the tartare
Food: 4.2/5 Service: 4.3/5 Ambiance: 4.3/5 Koloman is in the Ace Hotel and is in the former Breslin space on 29th and Broadway. I went to try the restaurant week menu, so this review is solely for that. I cannot opine on the dinner menu, which looked like it had good stuff. That said, the country pate was delicious. The bread was lightly toasted and soft. The chicken schnitzel was good, the breading was thin, light, and crispy. Potatoes with lemon and butter were good. Viennese apple strudel was not bad. It was served warm but not hot so you don't have to wait to bite into it. Not enough rum in the rum raisins and the frozen buttermilk was ok but not quite my tempo. Too sour. Like yogurt. Service was very prompt and friendly and aware.
Awesome meal at Koloman - great food and service, very nice atmosphere. We ordered a bunch but the highlights were the bread and butter, the mushroom farfalle, the duck and the salmon en croute entrees, and the apple strudel. So good, executed very well, great presentations, delicious food
What a gem. Don't skip on the bread service. I think the menu is designed more for individual entrees but we shared everything and loved it. The Kingfish crudo and tuna carpaccio were so refreshing, the crudo sauce was to die for. The beef paprikash and the salmon en croute are a MUST. Both dishes were absolutely unreal. Unlike anything I've had in NYC before, both super rich and flavorful. The beef two ways was hearty and the salmon was delicate. Also don't forget about that cucumber salad that comes with the schnitzel, it was a highlight. Highly recommend!!

Nov. 17, 2024 - Solid brunch spot. The interior is comfortable and relaxed, well lit with a Parisien Cafe vibe. We made a reservation to ensure we had a table for brunch. This spot gets pretty busy given the location and menu. Formerly the space of The Breslin (which was also a foodies' dream), comes this refined Viennese influenced French menu by Chef Glocker. He is the same chef that used to helm Tribeca's Batard (another favorite of mine before it was shuttered). Everything here was artistically plated and service was very attentive. A bit pricey for the menu options but you are getting a full experience. It's not just a plate of food I say, it's the whole dining vibe. I was here with a party of 5 so it was easy for us to sample many dishes and share. I loved the pork schnitzel, the simple scrambled eggs with toast, the eggs with ham. There was a standout poached egg served in a glass and side of toast. Topped with fresh herbs and chives. I mean, literally everything was delicious. Even the classic croissant was so sinfully rich with butter yet light and fluffy. Best carrot cake and powdered sugar too. (Sorry folks - by the time this review is live...it will have relocated per the Eater article, this locale closed on Aug. 30th, 2025). But if you can find it, you must try. Better still, follow Chef Glocker! read more
Came here for brunch and the food is amazing! The service was fast and attentive. We ordered a croissant and carrot cake to share. The croissant is so crispy and the carrot cake is the right amount of moist and sweet. The kernöl is delicious with the sourdough bread. The side potatoes are also very flavorful. My friend's French toast with pear also is very good. The restaurant has a chic and classy vibe and has a Vienna cafe vibe. Overall it's an amazing brunch experience and would love to come back for their dinner menu. read more
I tried the restaurant week menu with a friend, and it was a wonderful experience. We started with two types of bread - a fluffy and buttery biscuit-like roll, and a slice of crusty bread served with butter. Both were great. First course Celery Root Tartare - a nice mix of creamy and crispy textures, with savory and herb flavors underneath. Beet Salad - not bad, but a bit too simple for my taste. It's mostly large chunks of cooked beets in a light dressing. Second Course Potato dumplings - absolutely delicious. The pillowy potato dumplings come on top of a fragrant leek puree and a rich cream sauce, with a quenelle of savory mushrooms. There is a present but not overpowering truffle flavor as well. Dorade Royale - I didn't try this, but my friend seemed to enjoy it. Dessert Kardinal - nice contrast between the firmer outer layers and soft inner layers, with subtle sweetness and green tea flavor. Very delicious. Creme Brulee - literally the best one I've ever had. The duck eggs add some almost savoriness to the cream, and the pineapple jam adds a touch of tropical fruit. Definitely try this. With tax and tip, the meal came out to about $80. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other dishes someday, or at least to have the creme brulee again. read more

Wow. Some meals and restaurants just blow you away. I shared a dinner at Koloman with my friend a few weeks ago when we were visiting NYC, and it waws one of those meals, and it exceeded even my pretty high expectations (I learned that it had snagged the 37th spot on Pete Wells' 100 Best Restaurants in New York City in 2024 list just days after we made our reservation)! Where to start? The delicious, beautiful food? The great wine? The lovely service? The understated (not overly fussy or decorated space)? The food! We stated with their freshly baked bread service (poppy seed rolls, sourdough bâtard, and cultured butter). We were starving after a day of exploring, and it was a great start. Next, we shared the kingfish crudo (horseradish, spicy citrus, and smoked olive oil), which was a very different crudo than most that I've had, a light start to a meal that I knew would get heavier! Then? The Lucullus de Valenciennes (foie gras, smoked beef tongue, and black walnut vinagraitte), that was as luscious and rich as it was beautiful. Next, that cheese soufflé (pleasant ridge reserve, aged cheddar, and mushroom jam). How to explain how much I loved this course? I talk a lot. I basically never shut up. So if I'm eating and I get quiet, that's how you know I am just floored by how good something is. It's good that I don't even have any words. That's how good this soufflé was. And the meal just kept going! For our mains, we shared the Salmon en Croûte (scallop mousseline, sunchoke, and beetroot-beurre rouge) and the Goulasch (beef cheek, smoked paprika, caraway, buttered spätzle, and crispy onions). Both of these were absolute stunners - both in presentation and taste. I had to ask questions about the salmon because how on earth do they do THAT?! When a meal is this good, you don't even think about whether you're hungry - just go for dessert. We shared the palatschinken (fromage blanc, blood orange sorbet, and citrus). And never have I ever seen palatschinken (Austrian crepes) like this! It was light and small and absolutely the most unexpected, gorgeous presentation of crepes I have ever seen. Seriously, not a bite was off. Everything was absolutely delicious and gorgeous (without sacrificing an ounce of tastiness). We shared a bottle of wine - an Austrian Blaufränkisch, of course - which was a great accompaniment to our meal. (Their wine list is a book, so if wine with dinner is your thing, be prepared to make some hard choices! But what a good problem to have!) We also enjoyed two dessert cocktails with dessert - the Mayan Mocha (empirical ayyuk, banana, faccia brutto nocino, coffee, and bitters) and the Einspänner (alb vodka, mr. black coffee liqueur, pumpkin seed, kirsch, espresso, and sabayon) - both were wonderful. On top of the food and drink just be excellent, the service was top notch as well. Everyone who assisted us during our meal was so lovely and helpful. Our waiter was fantastic. We wanted everything on the whole menu, and he was extremely forthcoming in the best way when helping us make choices. The service really added to the experience. And - since this review is going long - I'll just say that I really enjoyed the space as well. It's beautiful without being over the top or leaning to the style over substance so common nowadays. The focus at Koloman is the food and drink, and nothing about our experience detracted from that! If I have one tiny complaint (but nothing could persuade me that our meal at Koloman was anything but five stars), it's that the bathroom is in the Ace Hotel (just a short walk away), but there just aren't enough bathrooms when the Ace lobby bar is full of people (is that all the time?). But seriously, that is the only remotely critical thing I have to say about what was a pretty perfect meal. My friend and I agreed that our dinner at Koloman was the best meal we'd both had so far in 2024 and one of the best meals we've had in the last few years. It was incredibly special, stunningly delicious, and lovely. One of the easiest five star reviews I've ever written. read more
There was a time in New York when an 11:00 reservation was readily available, so when I found Koloman was now open later than most, I jumped on the train after an early show and was ready to eat at 10:00. This was a wonderful mix of availability and fortune. The Celery Root Tartare may be one of the most unique appetizers I've had in a long time. Crunchy, cool, spicy and creamy all at once. I so enjoyed this. On each bit I found a new flavor and taste. I'll remember this for a while. The available entrees were so exciting I didn't know where to turn. I finally honed in on the Schnitzel Viennoise. As you'd expect, the veal was thin and the breading light and delicate. A touch more underlying spice made this an excellent version. Sided with a remarkable German style potato salad and a classic cucumber, I was in heaven. There were two berry sauces served with the veal, but while very tasty, I didn't feel they were necessary. It had to be years since I've had marzipan. The idea of a marzipan dessert in the hands of people who could create the previous appetizer and entree was intriguing. A touch of chocolate, apricot and salt and these finished a brilliant meal alongside a delightful dessert wine. I highly recommend Koloman. While I tried only a few dishes, it is apparent everything else must be wonderful. read more

I'd heard good things and received recommendations to check out this restaurant and I'm glad I did. The snapper crudo was fine but the marchfeld spargel white asparagus and boeuf were excellent to whet our appetite for the rest of the meal. For the mains, the salmon en croute and the schnitzel "viennoise" are a must. We were good in avoiding any breads to start but we couldn't resist the aroma.. so we ordered the gougeres which were delicious. The meal was quite rich but we couldn't end the evening without desserts. We tried the esterhaźy torte and the baked valrhona chocolate. The starters were perfect and the ending even better read more
Anything less than 5 stars for Koloman feels like an insult. This is for sure the best meal I've had this year. There was something really special about this French/Austrian, and turns out the chef from Batard, Markus Glocker opened this place in 2022. We were also pleasantly surprised because when we made the reservation hadn't didn't see the updated top 100 places to eat from Pete Wells, and Koloman was ranked 37th this year. This was our first dinner in NYC on this trip, and I think after walking around NYC with visits to museums and bookstores and Central Park, this dinner fit as our theme before our broadway show, Patriots (about Putin). I can't say I've had a lot of Austrian food, so this was special in that way, but the service here was the best I've had in what I consider a regular good restaurant. It's not Michelin, but the service is what I would expect at a Michelin. It was so thoughtful, and I swear every man in that restorations was gorgeous (I sound like an old lady). We got a bottle of Blaufränkisch, a slightly more tanic pinot noir like wine from Austria. What's also special about Koloman is the way the staff makes decisions for you, spacing out your meal and bringing you courses in what makes sense. We started with bread, because I love bread service and there was a poppy seed roll. Our order was mainly small plates and one entree, which I appreciated the staff coursing out for us: - Kingfish Crudo - we got at at the reco of the waiter, it was good but not memorabe - Lucullus de Valenciennes (foie gras, smoked beef tongue, truffle) - (I will never say no to foie gras and this dish was delicate and with finely cut radishes and truffle in the very Glocker style). I loved the little hits of pepper. - Cheese Soufflé - pleasant ridge reserve, aged cheddar, mushroom jam -- you know in Beauty and the Beast Lumiere asks Belle to eat the gray stuff, it's delicious? This mushroom jam is what I think Belle eats in that movie. It's SO GOOD. - Salmon en Croûte -- pickled cucumber, sunchoke, beetroot-beurre rouge -- this is THE signature dish here, a must get, and you will wonder how they prepared this dish. It's not puff pastry but bread that they cook like pastry in butter and the salmon is so perfectly medium rare and you want to be bathed in the beetroot-beurre. - Goulash beef cheek -- smoked paprika, caraway, buttered spätzle, crispy onions -- never had such delicate spätzle and the goulash was deep rich and paprika Then we ended the meal with dessert cocktails: Einspänner and All Nighter - coffee based drinks and the Palatschinken with a cheese and citrus sorbet. They also give you a complimentary chocolate coconut cookie. Epic meal, I do think they're discontinuing brunch service, but highly, highly recommend checking out in NYC. A note about the bathroom - it's awkward, you have to leave the restaurant and venture to the Ace Hotel restroom - and there's only two singular stalls so I had to wait a while. That's the only negative thing I'll say about the restaurant experience. read more
The space took over the old Breslin. Dining room is quite old-lady looking. *Fine de la Baie Oysters - so so and the toast/cheese thing came with it was so weird. *Duck Liver Parfait kracher gelée, toasted brioche - YUM. *Celery Root Tartare tarragon, pommery mustard, parmesan - flavor was good but texture a bit mushy. *Fennel Tagliatelle smoked brook trout, vermouth, caviar - very good and interesting that the sauce is fennel flavor, not jsut white or red sauce. *Pearl Barley Risotto - interesting, barley is less onsorbant than risotto rice. *Roasted Duck Breast - not bad. *Beef Tenderloin bone marrow crust - we asked for medium rare and it's overcooked. *Brune Landaise (for two) whole roasted chicken, champagne cabbage, spätzle - feel like this dish is to reminiscent the chicken for 2 from Nomad Restaurant? for $84, this dish was quite embarrassing, dried and flavorless. Pros and cons but menu is expensive. Cocktails were interesting and loved the one with cereal. read more

Lowkey spot for a nice meal, perfect for a date or hanging out with a friend. I really liked their cheese bread at the beginning (more than the souffle) and the fish sandwich was also so good, with a perfectly soft interior but crispy thin exterior. Service is pretty good and ambience is cute, though the bathroom is through a hotel lobby. read more
Koloman is getting a lot of buzz and I totally see why. Everything we ordered was delicious and I was impressed. We visited on a Tuesday at 8pm and the restaurant was the place to be. Definitely try the Salmon en Croute. Insider's Tip: Ask to sit on the lower level. The upper level is a little warm/stuffy and removed from the action. read more
Came here last night for my birthday and had a spectacular time! The place is located in the ace hotel. It has a art deco-y feel to it. Not fancy or elegant but sophisticated. We started off with some drinks. I got the martini vert I'm guessing it's seasonal since it uses ramps. Delicious unique surprisingly floral and not overpowering. My friend got the bitter truth also really delicious but better towards the end when the flavors really mended together. Our appetizers were the gougeres (the reason I actually wanted to come here) the soufflé, kingfish, beef tartare, and salad. All were excellent highly highly recommend. The tartare was insane I've never really enjoyed tartare and this one changed my mind. Then the entrees we got were a risotto special, the schnitzel and the goulash. Definitely must try the schnitzel it's perfectly crisp and breaded well and the cranberry sauce was a perfect complement. For dessert the chocolate Verona soufflé is a must it comes with an insane cardamom ice cream. I'd honestly come back for that only. Service was incredible the waitress was so cute and the bartenders really know their stuff. Definitely wanna come back again for a nice brunch or lunch and even to just sit at the bar!! Really excellent place and had 0 complaints. read more
I love Austrian cuisine and this place had hints of Austrian and French. All the dishes we had were good. I loved the schnitzel -- lightly breaded, crispy, probably the best one I've had in NYC. The crudo was also good with a delightful sauce. They really got their sauces down really well. The duck egg creme brulee was so good! And of course, the cheese souffle! It was so puffy and airy. I also loved the tagliatelle -- really though, their sauces!! Amazing service - everyone was nice and friendly. read more
I came here for a special dinner with two friends last night and we had a lovely evening. The space is very nicely designed and it was bustling throughout the night. Service was top notch, friendly and attentive at all times. We started with the complimentary bread, ordered 4 different smaller plates to share, two mains, and a couple of desserts to finish off, which ended up being the perfect amount of food. Everything sounded so good, it was hard to decide what to order. Overall, everything was delicious - very creative menu with lots of different flavors, textures, and interesting presentations. The highlights of our meal were the celery root tartare, cheese soufflé, salmon en croute, beef tenderloin, and soufflé for two. As a chocolate lover, the complimentary truffles at the end were the perfect way to end our meal. Koloman certainly delivered and I'd recommend checking it out for a special night out. read more
Found great reviews online about this place and it lives up to the reputation. Classic French dishes immaculately presented, the flavors, presentation, service and ambience were all on point. We were greeted politely when we came in earlier than our reservation by about 20 minutes. Another party was arriving without a reservation and they were made to wait, as it should be, while we were immediately seated at our table. The hostess was gracious and I love coat service in NYC. While I was disappointed to not get the dinner menu, the lunch menu was nonetheless stellar. And while some other diners have said menu is heavy, we all found our dishes properly portioned, well-seasoned, and just right in all aspects. Amazing schnitzel, cucumber salad, potato salad. Flavors were precise, seasoning perfectly on point, presentation not overly fussy but simple and elegant, and service good without being overbearing or rushed. And no music, which is a nice change. Apple strudel and sacher torte were both simple and elegant. Sacher torte was a little on the dry side, but still very good. I would definitely recommend this place for great french dining in NY. read more
Brunched at a French restaurant, but not recommending it specifically for French fare at the moment. Opted for the Raücherlachs, which, in essence, felt like an overpriced deconstructed New York bagel. The ambiance gives it more of a luxurious vibe which jt might be better suited for dinner. read more
Markus Glocker's new restaurant just opened in the Ace Hotel where The Breslin was, in a gorgeous redone space. The food is amazing, starting with the fresh baked poppy seed bread. All of the dishes we tried were delicious and beautifully plated. The Beets are excellent and the Short Rib Terrine is very unique and a must order. For mains, the Tagliatelle and Schnitzel were both very satisfying. read more

My friend and I had brunch here on a frigid New York morning. It feels like you step back in time walking in, the decor feels very European, like cafes you see in the movies set in Vienna or Paris. The menu is really interesting with modern lot of takes on classic items. The service was mostly excellent. As soon as we sat down, they fixed the wobbly table. Our server was also very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great recommendations. When our server came over to us, he asked what kind of water we wanted and I ordered a coffee that never came, so I had to order it again after my friend got her tea. We ordered the duck parfait to start, the Ei im Glas, the Räucherlachs, and the duck egg crème brûlée. The duck parfait was incredible. If you go and order one thing, it should be that. It was so smooth and rich. The Ei im Glas is like a deconstructed eggs benedict served in a glass. it's really different. I liked the poached egg but there's a lot of hollandaise sauce. It was hard to get a bite with the perfect ratio, but if you did, it was really nice. The Räucherlachs is a smoked salmon dish served with fromage blanc (it tasted more like butter to me), the biggest capers I have ever seen, and onion alongside a bagel. The salmon was excellent, I could have done without the fromage blanc - it was nice, but didn't add a whole lot and the salmon was creamy enough on its own. The duck egg creme brulee really hit. It was so light and creamy, and I loved the hint of acid from the pineapple on top. I'd also note that the restaurant is adjacent to the hotel so you have to go into the lobby of the hotel to use the restrooms which were not great because several stalls downstairs and at least one of the single stall ones upstairs did not have toilet paper. The hotel lobby is also extremely dark. Overall, the appetizer and desserts were excellent, and the mains we ordered were good, but not amazing. read more

Dropped by during Martini Hour for a drink and small bites. Take note, between 4-6PM, only the Martini Hour specials are available. Drink offerings: two different martinis, one cocktail, a red wine, a white wine, a mulled wine, and a beer. Snack offerings: gougeres (cheese bread), oysters, beef tartare. We got an espresso martini and glass of white wine to wash the gougeres and oysters down. Definitely order the gougeres - imagine a mix between pao de quejo and a popover. The oysters (half dozen) were flavorful - the citrus vinaigrette topping was pleasant. The bar area, where the Martini Hour is offered, was beautiful and well decorated. As an extension of the neighboring hotel, the vibes were romantic and moody. read more
