If you sit at the bar request Paul if he is there... Best bartender in the place. Super nice and makes the best drinks! He also holds up great conversation.

The sleek fireplace at the center of the lounge is curved, covered in shiny steel plates, and flanked with faux leather banquettes for lounging with a cocktail

They have a nice selection of whiskeys and fun cocktails. Yes, it's a hotel bar, but if you hand to congregate someplace with a large group, there is lots of comfy seating.

Try the Brussels sprouts w oyster sauce. Delish. Also the lemon sour cream gelato is highly recommended by our waitress

Great new drink menu! Try some seasonal cocktails to warm the spirit: Chipotle Stinger, Washington State of Mind, and Dead Sailor!

Go during the two happy hours from 4-7pm and 10-12pm, $7 well drinks. The crowd is an awkward mix but the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice.

Happy hour 4-7pm and 10pm-12am Mon-Sat, 4pm-12am Sun. $4 cocktails, food specials, among other deals.

It's not on the menu, but if you want a straight up American Breakfast - eggs, hash browns, ham — the staff will happily take care of that for you.

For breakfast, the house smoked salmon and scrambled eggs is quite good. The egg white frittata is a little odd.

If you can't afford a nice drink at a classy place...don't go. Go spend your $2 on a natty ice can at your local dive bar. Just saying. I love the W

SPG members should inform the restaurant waiter their SPG number to get the discount (currently 10%). Front desk won't be able to apply it.

Friendly bartenders and good beer on tap. Can't go wrong with the Elysian Immortal IPA!

Dined in for #srw and found the food tasty and filling. Service was very attentive, but not obtrusive.

Sushi is decent. Like the tempura side of the cod sandwich

If you ask nicely, you can get gluten-free bread with breakfast.

Having to beg for service is not a great experience. I ended up leaving after waiting for about 5-10 minutes.

More mixology than bar, but I guess that's what's trendy.

Niçoise salad was terrible -- needed a steak knife to cut through the tuna.

Loved the sushi
Raymond HodgesAugust 10, 2011
A little too "trying to be cool" for my taste. Limited wine list. But good wait staff.
