- PPatriciaVirginia •7 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 17, 2025Had a fabulous server - Pamela who made us all feel like VIPS. The food was great and her recommendations were spot on. We told her we were nurses and she provided our dessert on a special plate decorated in chocolate saying we love nurses.More infoM bistroPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• French Quarter•4.2
- SCSusanCVIPNew York City •30 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 16, 2025Brunch at the Grill Room is a delight on a sunny winter day. Food and service were excellent. I ordered a green bowl, spinach and yoghurt with kiwi, house made granola and sprouts. I was expecting a layered salad-like bowl, was pleasantly surprised to find a velvety green purée with a hint of sweetness and the other ingredients as toppings. I had a perfectly toasted English muffin as a side, was happy that orange marmalade was available. Coffee was excellent, fresh squeezed juices also. The level of food I expect here did not disappoint.More infoThe Grill RoomPrice: Very Expensive• American• Central Business District•4.8
