   I got to be honest, I didn't actually eat at Talbott Cucina. I want to be fair and not criticize their food, since I didn't have any, but I will comment on the rest. I made a reservation on OpenTable (and even confirmed it two days before), then, when I arrived on the day and at the time of my reservation, apparently the restaurant itself is closed for remodeling, so the hotel moved all restaurant operations into a tiny (think 30 people max) room off the lobby. When I got there, I went to the hostess to check-in and she said "that's weird, we haven't been taking reservations for a while." She told me they are seating people in the lobby chairs and would bring me coffee and water. While I sat for a couple minutes, I heard the hostess tell another arrival that it would be about an hour wait due to space limitations. I decided at that time to leave since I was not going to wait an hour for my reserved time and sitting in a plush chair in a crowded lobby with coffee didn't sound like an ideal start. I do want to emphasize a couple things, though: 1) the space they used, while cramped, was cute and 2) the hostess really did the best she could with an otherwise unfavorable situation. I just don't get how OpenTable reservations haven't been closed down yet, or how they aren't being honored by Talbott Cucina, if construction has been going on for some time now. There's no way I was the first person to tell them I had a reservation...

   Ambience was nice and cozy. Wasn't too loud and esthetically pleasing. Service was good and fairly attentive. Some folks at our table had about half of their food left that they were hoping to take home, and their plates were taken without asking whether they planned to take what they had left. It was done so quickly they didn't have a chance to make the request. Also, felt like we were being rushed out near the end even though it wasn't busy and it was still an hour before close.

   Initial impression was it’s just a hotel bar kitchen! Boy were we wrong! Ordered off the menu delicious eggs and Mediterranean omelet with a side of salad and compote of fruit and cream with just enough cream! Tasty tea to rival any barista with steamed skim milk and honey. Perfect breakfast on a cold day! Will definitely return!

   Our server was very friendly but really that was the highlight. Brunch was underwhelming and the coffee was cold/lukewarm at best. We were there to experience breakfast with Santa but have no plans to return.

   Very helpful Server, possibly overworked but still attentive. We come here every year before the Chanticleer concert at 4th Pres. We’ll be back! Great food, nice wine selection. Couldn’t ask for more!
