    Chicken dinner was wonderful. Drinks were also very good. But the lounge was understaffed, so service was extremely slow.

    Service was slow and inattentive. Food was very tasty but over priced. $160 for two salads, two small plates, two glasses of wine and one replacement dessert (10 minutes after ordering the chocolate lava cake we were told they didn't have it and we were some of the first diners for the evening... poor management). We won't be going back when there are so many good options nearby.

    Alter many dining expenences at the Fountain Lounge, this is the last. This is not the 1st time service was slow, and yet we tried again. It took a long time to get our drinks order in and almost an hour to get more "dirt" for our dirty martini. Our actual meal came out missing our friend's pasta dish! We were told that they'd get that out to us ASAP, which didn't happen. Cancelled the order, and minutes after that the pasta came out from the kitchen. The waitstaff were all friendly, but there seems to be a lack of communication between service staff and the kitchen. Very disappointing as this could be such a wonderful place to dine all year long.

    Mondays are fried chicken only! If you don’t like fried chicken, don’t eat here. Btw, the chicken was good.

    A bit disappointing for a Waldorf Hotel experience. Service was very slow. We were seated immediately at the time of our reservation. Our drinks were well made and came from the bar in about 10 minutes. It took 45 minutes to receive our food on fried chicken Monday (when all diners were having the same menu). The chicken was a bit peppery for my liking, but my husband did not mind it. The honey butter biscuits were delicious. Staff were nice but not very attentive.

    Monday advertised online as having live music and full menu but got there to find out that Mondays are actually "Fried Chicken Monday" (...as in that's the only thing available). Also the staff said there's never live music on Mondays. Weird

    We enjoy going for breakfast but very limited menu for dinner. Overpriced for what you get. Not much of a selection. Would be nice to extend appetizers - cheese boards and shareables would be nice to have with drinks.
