    Beautiful but a let down

    Went here the other night for RW dinner, and was immediately impressed with the space. The hotel is really elegant and the restaurant is no different. A truly lovely space with great decor. Everything from the walls to the rugs is well done. The crowd was mixed, but majority probably 45 or older. The volume level was just right, quite enough to totally enjoy your company and loud enough to be comfortable that everyone in the room wasn't hearing everything you say. Service was OK but not on par with other restaurants of this caliber and price range. The hostess was a little short with words and definitely did not come off as welcoming. The wait staff did their job well with few complaints but were neither particularly helpful nor particularly present. It took a long time to eventually get a check at the end of the night and we never had the same person came to the table twice. The food more or less falls in line with the service. Everything tasted good but nothing tasted memorable. I ordered from the RW menu while my date ordered a la carte. The RW salad was truly a very dry salad, and while the greens were certainly choice the overall flavor was incredibly dry and bland. I ordered scallops for the main course and they were done well, but not amazing. The taste was good, but not great, and to be picky they were probably cooked about a minute too long, so while tender, they certainly did not melt in your mouth. But my biggest gripe was there were only 4 of them! This is not a main course, it's an appetizer portion, even my date who is 100lbs seemed surprised. She had fish (can't remember which) and she said it was very good, but I could tell she wasn't amazed either. Desert was a flourless chocolate cake and it was the best part of the meal. Very good. Overall, for partially RW prices I didn't leave unhappy, but I was certainly not happy either. At the regular a la carte prices for both meals I would not have been happy. If you're looking for a beautiful decor this is a great spot. But there are quite a few other very elegant restaurants in similar price categories that offer a higher caliber of food.

    Engaged!

    My husband proposed to me at this restaurant last year and it was fabulous. Comfortable yet elegant environment with exquisite food and wine. The service was excellent the servers are attentive and provide personalized service. Music was too quiet and could be improved.

    Old School Gem

    My family and I were in town for a wedding and wanted to have a classic New York evening. After enjoying a wonderful, although very pricey cocktail at the world famous bar, we settled in for a once in a lifetime meal. Dad enjoyed his filet and potato gratin, along with his lobster bisque. My oysters on the half shell and the scallops for my main were perfection. The Dover Sole was the "best ever eaten" by my mom after she had the peeky toe crab salad (very light and refreshing). Finally we both shared the truffled mashed potato and the asparagus... awesome! The only issue was that we waited several minutes longer than we should have (it was not that busy) to begin this wonderful night.

    Great for Restaurant Week

    My wife and I dined here for lunch during Restaurant Week and had a great experience. The food was very nice and the room was decorated elegantly. We had a celebrity sighting, which is always a treat.

    Wow

    I can not believe that not one person has reviewed this yet. Went last night for dinner. Service was amazing and the room was soooo beautiful. A very elegant crowd as well. Appetizers were the tuna and the scallop. Both done very well. Main courses were the halibut and the bass. Both had amazing flavor and were perfectly cooked. Side dish was the hen of the woods mushrooms with fava beans...another winner. All in all a GREAT experience and worth every penny. I hope to return soon to this wonderful restaurant.
