    amazing atmosphere, beautiful  ambience. Amazing drinks. Food was delicious but pricey. The waitress forgot many of our very simple requests like asking for an additional plate or taking our picture. For a place that is so expensive she should be able to follow through with simple tasks.

    We go to many Michelin Star restaurants and enjoy the tasting menus. We decided Meteora was next after having experienced Vespertine, both restaurants by Chef Jordan Kahn. The culinary experience begins the moment you walk through the elegantly designed entrance. Once inside, you are enveloped in an ambiance of sophistication and warmth by decor of harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and subtle nods to nature. There were plenty of soft lighting and organic materials to make you feel like one with nature. The service by our waiter Daniel and staff was impeccable. They guided us through an exquisite journey of flavors. The culinary creations at Meteora are nothing short of art. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s dedication to innovation and quality, showcasing locally sourced ingredients that are transformed into masterpieces. The tasting menu is a must-try, offering a series of meticulously crafted courses that take your palate on a delightful adventure. We asked for something more than the 4-course tasting menu and the staff came back with the 7-course menu. Our party of 6 embarked on the latter journey. As the meal progressed, it became clear that Meteora is not just about food; it's about storytelling. Seated in the private dining room called “The Nest”, our group enjoyed the culinary experience and said this is up there with a few of our favorite Michelin star restaurants.

    We expected a special experience at the Tower Bar Restaurant this week, but we were pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than expected! The atmosphere was timeless and chic, the food was exceptional, and the service was beyond compare. It started at the front desk and was superb throughout our meal. We were never rushed, and were able to enjoy a long and relaxing brunch with multiple courses. The price was more reasonable than expected. And Angel our server was a true brand ambassador … he was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining, and made us want to not only return to the restaurant, but stay at the hotel the next time that we are in town. Thanks so much for a superb dining experience for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back again.
