    A open-concept restaurant located in the lobby. Go there during Kingstonlicious( A premier price fixe culinary experience). Service is excellent. 3 courses meals with free coffee only for $60. Not a bad choice.

    I would be willing to give this restaurant another try once they have worked out the bugs. The restaurant is currently on a soft launch and that definitely shows. The food itself was okay and I think would punch at the level of a high end chain restaurant. The service was excellent, and they were very accommodating and aware of some of the hiccups throughout the service including things such as missed courses, out of order courses, duplicated courses, and slow arrival of drinks and food. My kudos to the front of house staff, and I have no complaints in that regard. The ambience leaves something to be desired. The chairs, especially the sofas, are not comfortable. The restaurant is overall too exposed and it feels like you are eating in the middle of the lobby. The dining tables are too close together, the lighting is a bit too bright to set the mood, and the overall restaurant is cold - exacerbated if you are close enough to catch a draft from the sliding doors. The decor is very nice and the restaurant clearly has potential, but I’m not sure the design was really composed with enough thought to the dining experience.

    Nice setting with pleasant street view. Service was nicely paced and considerate. Food was just Ok and quite pricey . Cheeseburger only half eaten.
