Went for jazz brunch. Service was very engaging, but they seemed under staffed. The lights were too bright, making the ambiance feel more cafeteria than fine dining. Lack of decorations made the place feel sparse. Food was ok, not worth going out of your way for but decent. The jazz band was great.

The Ellyngton’s remodel was at best unremarkable. It has lost its original charm and beauty.

Sadly pretty disappointing for such a historical hotel, with such a good reputation. The new renovation was nothing to be desired.

Server was good, food was ok, but there was a big dog in the dining room with one of the patrons. That felt icky and not sanitary for such a nice establishment. Not sure if the dog was a service dog cause there was no indication but the dog was big and hairy and I didn’t not feel that was appropriate for a dining establishment.
