    I ate 1 dinner and 2 breakfasts here while staying at the W. The bartender/manager (dinner) and the breakfast servers were all very personable. I appreciate the night I stopped in for dinner that the server confirmed I wasn't over-ordering and I thoroughly enjoyed the chef's interpretation of butternut squash ravioli with a fantastic focus on nutmeg. It was really tasty. I also enjoyed the innovative cocktail at the start of the meal. I ate 2 additional breakfasts and thought the service was great and with a nice selection of options for breakfast. All breakfasts were well-prepared and service was quick and efficient with the server circulating to make sure my coffee was topped off through the meal.

    Good food, waiter was amazing but the other one next to his table was giving us a hard time to expand our reservation capacity... The food was good, took a little longer than expected. Great place before the Pride parade

    We were shocked. Everything was so good! Dinner (burger with the egg/bacon/onion rings on top), scallop app, halibut (perfectly cooked. So tasty!) and breakfast: crab cake Benedict and avocado toast. The toast was anything but basic. Delicious bread. Both of our servers were amazing. Just a great experience. Very unexpected for a hotel bar/restaurant.

    Shrimp Arancini, Sweet Potato Gnocchi and Vegetable Fettucine were all great -- service was very quick and our server Justin was fantastic. Dragontini cocktail was also delicious. Would highly recommend!
