What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful ambiance and flavorful, fresh dishes—especially the grilled octopus, lamb skewers, and house-made hummus. Many diners highlight the gorgeous interior design and the fact that it feels “transportive,” like a vacation before the main event. The staff gets high marks for being friendly and knowledgeable, and the rooftop bar is a recurring favorite for a pre-dinner drink or post-show nightcap.

Areas for Improvement

While the food and vibe consistently impress, a few reviewers mention that the pricing can lean toward the upscale side—especially for those just grabbing a quick bite. On busy nights, reservations are a must, and the popularity of the hotel can sometimes lead to a bit of a wait. But most agree it’s worth it for the atmosphere alone.
