We found this place accidently and we are so glad we did. It's just a really neat venue. Make sure to walk to the bathroom... I know sounds strange but such cool things to see. The drinks were good and made to perfection. The food was so good too... well worth a visit

Good tasting Brunch. Coffee was good. Food delicious. They were short handed. There were a lot of empty tables but no one to clean them.

The food here is consistently good, and the staff is incredibly friendly, always doing their best to make sure guests feel welcomed. Big thank you to Justine for her hard work! However, it’s clear that the team is often overwhelmed, and I think the restaurant would greatly benefit from having additional staff members during peak times. As someone who’s worked in restaurants for over 15 years, I can tell that the staff is genuinely trying hard, but the demand seems to be too much for the current team. Despite this, the quality of the food and the positive attitude of the staff are much appreciated.

Soup was delicious, chock full of onions, very light on broth and without the top crust as pictured in these reviews, so not exactly as I expected, but still good. The wedge salad was one of the best I’ve ever had! Candied pecans were amazing, dressing was perfect and apples a nice touch. Salmon was good & chicken sandwich was good, but our server said it was grilled when in fact it was fried. Queso was delicious, but had very few chips for so much cheese. Server advised they were completely out of all Chardonnay when we tried ordering a bottle, but the bartender didn’t seem to know what the server was talking about and was able to supply one. Our young server was snippy and rude, actually snapping a harsh NO! at us when we asked if she would please double check if they had any Chardonnay to serve, even by the glass. The bartender is AMAZING! Drinks were fantastic and service at the bar was outstanding! We stayed at the hotel to attend a Kenny G concert at the majestic and while the hotel and food was great the server left us with a somewhat negative impression overall. We returned to the bar with our friends after the concert and enjoyed great drinks from the fabulous bartender! Fun place to stay for a staycation especially when paired with a concert at the Majestic!

Swung by this place today for lunch after a few errands. The place was open during the holiday, I figure because it is part of the hotel. I've never been before. The description on Google is pretty accurate on the atmosphere. It is very classy, upscale vibe, well-maintained and clean. I was promptly greeted by the bartender Hannah, who gave me the choice to sit wherever I wished. I chose the bartop and was taken care of by her. We made conversation and she mentioned that she was relatively new to the restaurant, but she is very professional and seems to know the menu and hotel very well, already. Throughout my meal, I had four vodka martinis crafted by her. No complaints, they were good, and she was attentive. Before anyone gets onto me, I was using DART and made it clear to the one serving me that I would not be driving today.

I decided on just two courses for lunch, starting with the Crab Dip. The accompanying lavash chips were crisp and served warm, which was a nice touch. They worked very well with the dip, which was very creamy. Portion was pretty good, too, for an appetizer. For my entree, I ordered the Steak Frites, cooked medium rare. It came out cooked properly, presliced (the bartender, of course, did provide me a steak knife and other utensils before the food came out), topped with a nice persillade. Very flavorful, well marbled, and honestly a great deal at fourteen ounces, especially for a restaurant at a high-end downtown hotel. The frites were well seasons, not too hard or mushy, and paired very well with the aioli.

Attached to my review are a few photos, including the food side of the menu. It does say it on the menu, and the bartender Hannah made it clear when I sat down, but keep in mind that dishes with an asterisk are only available after 5 pm. Plenty of great options still available before then, including the Steak Frites I ordered. Your spending per person might not be as high if you don't order four cocktails like I did, although, at 11 dollars a martini, their prices aren't inflated or anything.

I definitely would like to return. The food, service, and atmosphere were all perfect.

Great place to go before a show at the Majestic, but we'll definitely be back, even if we're not attending a show. Start with the Charcuterie board. My party had a steak frittes dish, 2 salmon dishes and a delicious French Dip. And shared two salads. All very good, and the cocktails are well made and good pours on the wines-by-the glass.

Nice looking spot but they recently changed the wine menu and it’s gone downhill. Both our steak and fish came out uncooked. Had to send it back to get it recooked. Didn’t even discount our bill or say much …

Inside of the Renaissance Hotel on Elm. Great service. Good drinks. Calm vibes.
