Vu Restaurant

Food was excellent. I had the halibut special. Everything was perfect. My friend had the filet and she raved about it. Chocolate bread pudding for desert and we could hardly walk.
Serving person was not as attentive as she could have been.

for being at a such a nice location, i was hoping the food would be equally as nice.
I was wrong!!!
This was our second stop of the Food Tour and i wish would would have just skipped it.
Food — Pork pulled slider — couldn’t even finish one slider, the pork was dry
Cheddar Bacon slider — this wasn’t horrible, but not great either, but after taking a bite of the pork slider i guess anything had to be better (I was wrong the Shrimp cocktail was up next)
Shrimp Cocktail w/​atomic cocktail sauce — 1^st all this is $ 10 for 4 pieces of shrimp, which were not even Jumbo and didn’t even taste good, i think they were over cooked and the atomic cocktail sauce, tasted like ketchup. Seriously there was no spicy to it and by far one of the worst tasting Shrimp cocktails i have ever had.
I hope you look at the surrounding restaurants before you even glance this way

Amazing! My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here. He ordered the blue crab cakes and I have to say they are the BEST I have had this side of Maryland. They are lightly breaded so there wasn’t a bready or soggy taste. They were just puffs of lump crab meat so creamy and delicious, nothing more nothing less. I ordered the seared scallops… to die for! Perfectly cooked so they just melt in your mouth, tender and amazing.
I also have to say that the service was impeccable. Amanda, our server, was a delight. She made great recommendations and checked on us just enough to cover all our needs without being overwhelming. We will DEFINITELY be going back.

Came here for breakfast one morning. We had to practically start leaving in order to get service. Guys, here’s a trick. I know you’re busy, but when someone walks in, just say, «Hi, I’ll be with you shortly». That will go a long way.
But I won’t deduct any stars for that. I will deduct 4 stars simply for the price of the French toast. 10 dollars for two pieces of regular wonder bread. No side. Maybe like 2 berry halves and that’s it. And it wasn’t even that good. It was basically a side order of French toast however it didn’t indicate that from the menu, nor from the price. I could have bought 3 loafs of bread for that price. Why don’t you just slap me in the face instead?

I’ve been here 2 times. The first time was right after they had opened. The second time was last night, for a birthday and Dine Out LA.
The first time was nice. A positive experience with eclectic and creative point of view.
I thought the chef may have changed because 2 totally different dining experiences.
Maybe it was the Dine LA menu but It was not worth the money.
The specialty cocktails were all too sweet — and that’s from all the girls. The service was ok. The atmosphere was boring — it wasn’t very busy.
The entire dinner just never got started.
The squash soup was ok. The calamari was one note — from color presentation to taste. I also got the chicken breast, and it was rubbery — like it had been reheated. The pasta was ok. The sauce and asparagus saved the dish. My sister got the salmon — really big piece and it was good. The rest was just so unremarkable.
Desert (cheesecake and lava cake) was a big disappointment. We barely touched it. Again, out of the freezer texture. Dry, unloved and nothing special.
The best thing we had was my nephew’s chicken fingers — $ 8.
Overall the entire dinner was heavy handed, too large of portions, and uninspired.
Then they offer valet parking when there is no one there, and park your car 5 feet from the valet pickup. Not worth the parking cost either.
Dine Out LA is meant to be a marketing tool for restaurants. Vu disappointed so I won’t be back.

For our DineLA outing the bf and I went to Vu Restaurant, which happens to be at the Jamaica Bay Inn. That should’ve been a sign (resort dining exempted). I didn’t heed it, we had a date, the show must go on.
When making the reservation, he specifically asked for outdoor seating so long as there are heaters. There are. When we got there, the hostess guided us to a table inside. We asked to be seated outside. We were. Our drink order was taken almost immediately (still water and sparkling wine). Our dinner order was taken subsequently (three-​course prix fixe).
FIRST COURSE. He got the Lamb Lollipops (think Starbucks cake pops except salisbury steaky) and I got the Calamari, thick-​cut, lightly battered and the pink lemonade mayo was tasty dipping. He’s a beef tartare connoisseur so we got that too. I liked the calamari best, followed by the lamb, while he could’ve passed on all three.
SECOND COURSE. He got the King Cole Duck Breast and I got the Trout. Albeit still unimpressed, he finished most of his plate due to sheer hunger (what happens when you haven’t eaten all day?). He finished my fish, too! I found the bed of corn and dried cranberry pseudo-​salad refreshing.
THIRD COURSE. His Chocolate Ganache totally beat out my White Chocolate Polenta. My dessert looked like mozzarella sticks surrounded by antioxidants (flambeed blackberries and strawberries). ALL polenta, no choc. His ganache was so yummy, so perfect, I wish we had had dessert first like I usually do at buffets.
The service was on par with the food, unfortunately. Our waitress, and another server who brought us ok cornbread with ok jalapeño butter, were really friendly HOWEVER it took SO L O O O O N G to get our dinner – and it was rather a barren crowd (Tuesday, granted) – we had to skip a comedy show in Hollywood. The wait and our sad-​orphan looks went virtually unacknowledged.
I wanted grub with flair, and Vu purported to serve up gastronomic ingenuity, but anything that c#ckblocks me from a laughfest deserves a Unilocaly stink eye.

I kicked off DineLA with a trip to Vu. I don’t know why I don’t check out more restaurants in Marina del Rey. I’m so tired of the same spots around West LA, Brentwood and Santa Monica. Anyways, as we were approaching the restaurant, I didn’t realize it was in Jamaica Bay Inn. We found our way in and were seated promptly. The restaurant itself is nice. During the day I can only imagine how beautiful the view would be if you were seated closer to the windows. It felt open and spacious, and staff was pleasant.
Most of us ordered off the DineLA menu, but a few ordered small plates. My sister-​in-​law was disappointed b/​c she had called beforehand to make sure they would be able to prepare the chicken entrée without nuts (she is allergic). She was told yes. We were told at the restaurant that it wouldn’t be possible b/​c I guess the nuts permeate the entire dish. The chef advised her to ask specifically for him next time. That was sweet of them. Anyways, onto the food:
Lamb lollipops — cute lamb balls with a lollipop stick. It was good.
Vichyssoise — deeelish! I really loved this soup.
Brussels sprout salad — incredibly delicious.
Caprese — it was beautiful, but not to my liking. The cherry tomato was overpowering and the basil was nonexistent.
Duck breast — very good. I was afraid it would be dripping in fat, but it wasn’t too bad at all
Trout — not a fan. It looked like an eel, or _​_​_​_​_​. You fill in the blank.
Polenta dessert — eh, it was mediocre.
Overall, it was good, but not spectacular. I think some of my favorite dishes were ordered outside of the DineLA menu. I would definitely go back and try a bunch of small dishes as opposed to the entrees. The entrees didn’t look that appetizing.
So 3 stars overall for food and service. Some of my dining partners were less than pleased with service, but for me, when the people are so nice, I’ll let a lot of things go. But it would be nicer if they didn’t have such long gaps in between the dishes, and finding someone to flag down wasn’t difficult.

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated our three year anniversary at Vu and our dinner was a culinary adventure to remember. This meal served as my introduction to molecular gastronomy, so I am no expert in this style of cuisine. However, the inventive preparations and unusual flavor combinations worked beautifully.
Ambiance: Sleek and modern with a lovely view of the bay.
Service: Enthusiastic and more casual than I would have expected, but fit the vibe perfectly. Our server checked in with us frequently.
Food: The star of the night! We tried a dizzying array of small plates, as well as a main each and dessert. The highlights for me were the bison carpaccio and the ahi tuna crudo… both melted in your mouth. The ahi tuna preparation tasted so bright… the flavors popped in your mouth (gooseberry, uni mayo). We also tried a selection of meats and cheeses, the caprese bites (housemade mozzarella wrapped around basil injected cherry tomatoes and topped with red wine sea salt), lamb lollipops, sangria infused watermelon served over Sprite ice created with liquid nitrogen, chicken fried watermelon, and pork and «beans» (pork belly with boiled peanuts in a yuzu BBQ sauce). My entrée was Scottish salmon served over fava beans, fried chickpeas, and asian pear with a chickpea purée and sauteed carrot-​tops. It also came with a salmon croquette on the side topped with chickpea foam. The salmon was expertly prepared, a light crunch on the outside while moist and juicy on the inside. My boyfriend selected the sea scallops with lamb sweet breads as his main. His dish was served with dots of fig reduction, almond pudding, and cucumber. Even though there was literally no space left in my stomach, I was born with a special dessert compartment for such occassions ;-). We tried a trio of liquid nitrogen spun ice creams served with two little chocolate chip cookies. The flavors of the silky smooth ice creams were cherry, maple, and white chocolate. Usually I don’t like anything white chocolate, but that flavor was surprisingly my favorite.
With such a variety of flavors, ingredients, and preparations, Vu truly has something to please anyone’s palette. All the dishes were plated gorgeously and the food is created with passion. I think that is what stood out for me the most… the enthusiasm exuded from the chefs and staff about the food they’re serving. They are proud of the inventive dishes coming from the kitchen… as they should be! I hope we can return for another epic meal.

Was looking for a restaurant with an interesting menu, where we could dine with another couple, sit and talk and not be pressured to leave. Well, we got both… The menu is interesting but the food itself is just good, not great. Sitting outside was lovely. Space heaters at all the tables. Not too loud. But the reason we were able to sit for so long without pressure was because it took forever for the waitress to take our order. It even too 20 minutes just to take our drink order.
While we waited forever for our drinks we were approached by numerous wait staff asking if the dish they were carrying was ours. Even our waitress, who had yet to take our order, came by with a plate asking if it was ours.
When the bill came we noticed that a single order of scotch cost $ 38. The waitress told us it was mistake and it came back as $ 18. The manager brought the revised check and when we questioned the price again he argued with us saying you cannot get that scotch at a downtown bar for less than $ 18. But we were in the marina… and he was arguing with us … we were not happy.
Later that night we ran into a couple who had also been at Vu that evening. They said they have had 2 decent experiences there with both good food and good service.
Glad they liked it, but I would not recommend this place. There are too many restaurants in Los Angeles, even just the beach areas, that are much better. Save your time and money and skip this place.

Ok, I really wanted to like this place. The menu was very fancy and everything sounded like it would be delicious. In the end, I think it was a combination of too many ingredients and some items that sound cool and fancy but taste absolutely disgusting. (powdered oil, for example)
The food was a real disappointment. The drink menu was pretty extensive and exotic with lots of creative ingredients and they were pretty good, but again, somehow the execution didn’t work as well as the description.
The location is beautiful and if that’s what you’re looking for, it isn’t totally bad, but I’d stick with somewhere else.

VU– I LOVE YOU!
5 Star Restaurant at a $$ price level!
Let’s start from the beginning:
Hostess: Wonderful! I believe she is the same hostess who is always there and she was very attentive and had the perfect seat waiting for us. I noticed her throughout the meal helping out other servers and always making sure everyone was taken care of.
Seating: Beautiful seating out on the patio, overlooking the Marina. Such a special gem of a location! They also have fire pits which are so cool to be around during dinner!
Server: Our server was very attentive and helpful. He made wonderful recommendations and even had the Chef come over and introduce himself. We were treated like royalty!
Food: ABOVE AND BEYOND INCREDIBLE! There is not a single place like this in LA without a $$$$ price tag! The food is so original, delicious and ambitious! I couldn’t get enough! Here is what we ordered:
Thai Mussels– one of my favorite! The presentation alone is enviable. The flavor profile is so original and each little bite made my mouth so happy!
«Reconstructed» Caprese Salad– this was given as an amuse bouche and it was a nice little pop! In my mouth. The «pop» I speak of came from the delicious balsamic-​injected cherry tomato!
Beef Tartare– my first time having beef tartare and I tore it up! The blueberry added to the tartare was such an interesting twist and it really worked!!!
Montana Free Range Bison Carpaccio– perfectly pounded meat ;)
Pork Belly– great portions and perfectly cooked! The Root Beer Jello is fantastic!
Vichyssoise– potato waffle cake… enough said!!!
Calamari– Chicken-​fried AMAZING CALAMARI! Not your average calamari with the tentacles, these are just the strips, but the size of chicken fingers! SO FREAKIN GOOD!
Dessert– White Chocolate Polenta and the Buttermilk Panna Cotta– both were TO DIE FOR! Super textures, amazing presentation, the perfect ending to a meal!!!
CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK!

Vu? More like boooo. Big thumbs down. I really wanted to like this place, really. Right on the beach, great décor, not too busy, the menu seemed yummy, modern and inspired. But my god. THE SERVICE. Terrrible, and maybe one of the worst.
It was my birthday and I just wanted to spend a little time at the beach since it was so nice, me and my boyfriend wanted a little snack and we stumbled upon Vu. We wanted something quick and small so we just ordered the cumin and cardamon fries. Who knew a small order of fries would take 40 mins in total? Not us. Our waiter kept coming up to us saying the fries were on the way, just a few minutes more, i’ll check what’s going on, we’re making a fresh batch, blah blah blah. The place wasn’t even busy! We saw a couple sitting next to us get their food, fries included and 15 minutes after that a waitress finally came with the fries (which were wayyyy too salty FYI) and said she’d refill our waters, which she never did.
We asked for the check, gave a ten dollar bill, ($ 7.61 FOR CRAPPY FRIES?) and our waiter gave us $ 2 back and kept the small change. Excuse me, I think that’s called petty theft. We definitely didn’t leave a tip, which I have never done, but I guess he got something to split with the rest of the incompetent staff. Put a damper on my birthday afternoon and I might have possibly developed an aversion to french fries because of this experience. Thanks, Vu.
NOT COMING BACK.

Service: I dined here two close weekends in a row, first on Valentine’s Day weekend ’11, and then again 2 weekends later. This is a new restaurant, so there are understandably some shortcomings with the service. My biggest compliant of both dinners was the pace the dishes were brought out from the kitchen. Because the restaurant is new, there aren’t that many people eating at the restaurant. Orders quickly go to the kitchen and quickly come out. I like to breathe and talk a little between courses, but despite asking the server to slow down the pace so we could saver the dishes, we’d be overwhelmed with 4 or 5 dishes being brought out at the same time. If you don’t want to have your entire meal, appetizer/​entrée/​and dessert all show up at the same time, make sure you wait to order your next course.
Atmosphere: A new restaurant so very clean and very pretty view. I recommend trying to make it for an earlier dinner so you can watch the sun set over the marina. The restaurant is part of the Jamaica Bay Inn hotel in a very nice area of Marina Del Rey. Pretty quiet and empty for a new restaurant, especially on a weekend. Not even full for Valentine’s Day dinner.
Appetizers: The appetizers are the bread and butter of Vu. Vu is a «modern twist» pseudo molecular gastronomy restaurant with many interesting rather large tapas plates. I recommend ordering these family-​style and enjoying your entire meal as more of a tapas experience. The best dishes were the thai mussels and peas and carrots for the light dishes. I really suggest the lamb lollipops and vichyssoise, they were both fantastic. Some of the sashimi dishes were pretty bland. Dishes I would not recommend include the charred octopus, too bland, and the tuna nicoise, also too bland. The tuna layered with watermelon featured on their website was terrible, wayyy too much salt and the presentation didn’t look anything like the website.
Entrees: The entrees are surprisingly small for the large size of the «small plates». They are also much more expensive than the tapas plates and don’t bring much more to the table, so unless one really grabs your eye, I would eat the tapas appetizers as my entire meal.
Desserts: I’m a little obsessed with pineapple, so as a pineapple connoisseur I had to try the pineapple carpaccio. I was very disappointed. Sour pineapple, overcooked, tough and chewy. Not what I was hoping for. The buttermilk panna cotta with the liquid nitrogen coke-​a-​cola on my second visit was much better. Very creative with the use of liquid nitrogen.
Wine List: All California wines served, adding to the atmosphere, but maybe taking a way a bit from the potential quality of the meal served.

The first time I came here, I probably would have given it 5 stars. Our service was impeccable and the drinks were how we like them– not too sweet, crisp, and strong. The ambiance is peaceful and I like the clean lines and jungle décor of the place. We even had the perfect amount of interesting cuisine for two women. Perhaps that was part of it too – I was with a great friend and we were allowed to sit and stay as long as we wanted without feeling like we were being booted. Overall we really enjoyed it, so much so, I had to have my husband come back with me!
I went back and subsequently am… disappointed. My husband, the sea scallop fan he is, ordered «Sea Scallop» on the happy hour menu for $ 8, not really thinking that it would be one, singular sea scallop for $ 8! Let me back up. This place isn’t cheap to begin with. I get it. I wasn’t expecting to leave there without spending $ 50 – 70, but REALLY?! The sea scallop was not inventive, deconstructed, or [insert other trendy culinary term] enough to be $ 8. I was off-​put. The service also wasn’t as great… the server seemed confused and wasn’t as attentive. To be fair, I don’t love over attention either, but she didn’t even come back to see if we wanted another drink.
I want to love this place and I will give it another shot. I’m cautiously optimistic. Maybe if I try out one of the fire pits and read the menu a little more thoroughly…

I read the other reviews but felt adventurious. The Marina needs a place like this The Vu has a lot of potential. I use to work here when it was Jamaica Bay Inn many moons ago.
We went tapas style.
It appears upscale, why cheap plastic menus. Could not find entrance, entered thru hotel.
I burned my mouth on the chicken fried watermelon. I wised they warned me. It was actually tastefu.
I liked the Bone marrow, trout, and the pork belly,
The servers did work hard on presenting the food.
Again this place has a lot of potential and I can’t wait to return.

Juicy view and food at Vu
Vu which is pronounced View is a very awesome place to go to. Came here for dine la lunch and the food was superb! Worth the $ 22.
It is a fusion of jamaican with american food in my opinion. Very flavorful and very interesting flavors that’s tastefully done.
The view is so awesome, it’s really got a great view. It’s romantic and looks like a fun place to be.
For appetizers I enjoyed:
Grilled Polenta
asparagus, tomato, pickled red onion, aged balsamic
For the entrée you must get this super juicy burger:
½ lb Burger
American wagyu, herb goat cheese spread, dried cranberries, caramelized red onion, house fries
For the dessert, unique and tasteful:
Buttermilk Panna Cotta
liquid nitrogen cola, carbonated blackberries

Almost everything about this experience can be summed up as «fun.»
Reconstructed Caprese Salad: The burst of flavor was fantastic. I love fresh mozzarella, but this might have been slightly more desiccated than I would have wanted. The flavor was amazing, though. I would get it again.
Pork Belly: Rich and fun. I loved the crispy grits.
Chicken Fried Watermelon: Their twist on sweet and sour. Really fun concept. I thought the strips on top were daikon at first.
Thai Mussels: All the flavors were there in these fresh slightly sweet bites. A must.
Bone marrow: off the menu? nom nom nom. Like a little savory salad on toast. Comes with a bit of balsamic «jam”/paste.
Trout (entrée): buttery and rich. The crispy parsnips chips were yummy. I just wish I had some more of that or something else with a bit more texture to balance the softness of the fish and the pureed cauliflower and parsnips.
King Cole Duck Breast: the flavor was definitely there. The polenta with goat cheese was great. The chocolate red-​wine sauce was also tasty. The duck had good flavor but the texture was chewy (but not dry). I heard it had more to do with the quality of the duck itself, that one doesn’t have much control of the texture in that aspect once it’s in the kitchen. *shrug* I don’t know much about cooking duck. However, hearing about the duck did remind me of the first episode of Portlandia where the customers ask and get a rundown of the fowl’s humane and ethical treatment and history. «Here are its papers!» :)
Buttermilk panna cotta: great! However, I did not get to experience the liquid nitrogen cola since I ate the second half and it had melted into the sauce by then. Regardless, the flavors were great and definitely had more going on there than just fresh berries.
White chocolate polenta — everything tastes better fried. I wouldn’t hesitate to order this again. Careful, it’s hot inside.
Drink: Spicy Hunter (cazadores, jalapeño, tapatio, agave, Luxardo
Quattro) — delicious, fresh, not too sweet, not too hot.
Overall, the flavors and concepts were surprising and fun. While some dishes could probably be perfected, the exciting and experimental approach to food makes it worth the experience. I’m definitely coming back here so I can try everything else I did not get to order (esp. since it sounds like they’re still coming up with new ideas). The hostess had a good suggestion — bring a big group so you can order more and try everything.

Came here for the bf’s birthday dinner, and had a pretty good experience. The place was kinda half dead but I like my space so it was alright with me. It was pretty dark outside so the view that many people wrote about was kinda lost to me… I mean, it was pretty still, but probably not as wow as it would be during the daytime.
We had the DineLA prix fixe menu plus their calamari, that our server was very insistent on being the best calamari in the area. He wasn’t kidding. That stuff was GOOD. It was squid that had been broken down into paste and reshaped into large sticks of calamari, but it still retained a slight chewiness that I enjoyed so much, while not being overly so like regular calamari. Definitely the best calamari in the area, hands down!
So we also had the following from the dineLA menu:
Appetizer: Pork belly and Chicken Fried Watermelon
Before we ordered our server brought us an amuse bouche that was the Pork belly. It was pretty tasty, so we decided to also order that for the appetizer. You couldn’t really taste the pork very well with the amuse bouche, but in the larger, appetizer portion they had a pretty good chunk in each piece. The pork was a little too try for my taste, almost stringy in texture, which was displeasing. But overall the taste was good. The Chicken Fried Watermelon was definitely interesting at first bite, and I grew to like it more with each mouthful I had. The pickled watermelon rind was so yummy, i was scraping all the extra off the plate and into my mouth.
Entrée: 16 oz Niman Ranch Pork Shank and King Cole Duck Breast
We stayed away from the trout after reading a couple reviews on bad fish at this place. The duck breast was much better than the pork shank IMO. The pork was good, but nothing particularly amazing about it to wow me, it was just a pork shank. Granted it was a pretty decent sized serving. But the chocolate-​red wine reduction with the duck definitely took the prize. So good!
Dessert: Buttermilk Panna Cotta and Warm Apple Tart
The panna cotta was DELICIOUS. I loved the liquid nitrogen cola that topped it, looking very much like strusel crumble actually that I felt like it belonged with my apple tart! The panna cotta was made just perfect, a delightful creaminess that went well with everything. The apple tart was yum too, but I honestly couldn’t tell that it was a cherry ice cream that was on top. I had some by itself and I tasted more like butter than cherries. Not that I had a problem with that.
Overall, pretty decent food for a restaurant still in it’s soft opening stage. More of a 3.5, but we had a really nice server and they are in the soft opening stage, so round it up to a 4! It has definite potential to improve on some of its foods, but there are some pretty good ones already! For all the people who say that the portions are small here — I didn’t really get that. I felt that they’re pretty decent. I mean, if I were to come here starving and not having eaten all day, I would be hungry. But as far as a regular dinner sized portion goes for me, the food was plenty. It was a really nice birthday dinner and afterwards you can walk around on sand right next to the Inn, which we did, and is really lovely at night. =)

While Vu is still in its soft opening phase I’ve got to cut it a little bit of slack. Everything inside looks and smells all shiny and new and I’m diggin’ the layout of the bar area with a curved communal table just adjacent to the main bar. The staff was incredibly friendly all around including Luke the bartender who made me a nice stiff Manhattan with Decanter Bitters ($ 14 though? That’s 2 bucks more than the $ 12 signature cocktails!)
The girls and I dropped by last night for happy hour (4pm-​7pm) and shared a few bites. That really is the best word to describe the food on the happy hour menu: «bites». Small plates are $ 5 each but you literally get just a couple of bites of each. Make sure you’re not really hungry if you go for happy hour unless you want to drop a few more bills on some of the dinner menu items. We ordered:
–Chicken Liver Pâté: tasty but this was 2 amazingly thin slivers of toast spread with pâté… the balance was appropriate though and I loved the little cube of apple cider jelly
–Beef Tartare: much more substantial than the pâté but still 2 servings. Great flavor and a nice portion of actual beef on the ciabatta slices
–Risotto Croquettes: you know how we girls just love poppin’ balls in our mouths so we ordered 2 plates of these. LOVED! This was a new addition to the menu just that night so everyone was asking us how we liked them. 3 balls to a plate and they are delicious.
Just as we were about to leave the chef oh so kindly sent out the «Reconstructed» Caprese Salad (more balls!). On the menu this is $ 8 and you get 3 with an order. What you get on the plate is a little white ball of mozzarella which you pop into your mouth and…(FLAVOR) EXPLOSION! This was such a cool dish! Inside the mozzarella ball is a balsamic-​injected cherry tomato, red hawaiian sea salt and basil. Yum!
One thing that kinda sucks about coming to Vu is that since it IS part of the Jamaica Bay Hotel parking is valet only at $ 3. Not super expensive just kind of annoying that this is your only option.

This will be receiving 5 stars very soon by many folks… The waiter did inform us they are not advertising being open yet. They are just word of mouth right now, mostly hotel guests and locals. They are working out kinks and perfecting their kitchen after the new remodel on the hotel, and new ownership.
We enjoyed breakfast here 2 days in a row. Fantastic hash-​brown-​cubes! Wonderful experience, strong coffee!!!
Really comfortable patio, we watched NYE fireworks in the warmth of the heaters and firepits.
And thank you bartender, I really enjoyed my White Manahatten!!!
