The Mark

Very good, lava cake was amazing

If any of you are looking for really good hotel deals I would check out HotelRaven. Com I saved a ton of money using that site.

Tables are well spaced so even at the height of dinner, you can talk and be heard. Food is great. Staff plenty but, last night, was oddly inattentive. Attractive, nicely dressed crowd. Menu terrific (you can even get a hamburger) and enough to make it a neighborhood restaurant...........ok, a very expensive neighborhood restaurant. I DON'T LIKE THE CHAIRS in the main dining room as they are over-designed and bother my back. If that's the case for you (as it is for many), ask for a pillow....it helps. Better, try to score a table in the bar area of the dining room where the chairs are more "normal"

Came to New York, NY to meet up with friends and escape the relative boredom that is Raleigh. On an awesome Saturday my friends and I sidled up to the bar and grabbed a number of awesome cocktails. Not empty and definitely not too crowded.The bartenders were friendly and engaging and we were able to get food at the bar as well, which was quite good including the pate. I went with the Infinite Sadness, which is quite the opposite. Probably one of the best cocktails I've had anywhere. The rest of the bar list is quite extensive and recommended. Looking at the other reviews here it looks like on my return trip to I'm gonna have to hit up brunch...

Wow, wish I had checked out reviews on Google before going here. Loud, poorly designed restaurant with people smoking cigarettes on the outside portion of the restaurant (isn't that illegal?). We had to move twice. Food, super "representational"; meaning looked beautiful, tasted, well meh. Service very good, but tip options were 18%/20%/22% or "other". Tips are "tips", not requirements. This is a 5 star hotel, and a 1 star restaurant. Wine pricing insane: one glass of Bellacrout Salmon Rose--$45 which is almost what a bottle costs at the liquor store across the street. Look, we're NY residents so we're pretty immune to sticker shock. But this is silly 'ville. I would encourage anyone thinking of eating here to reconsider. A million better options in the concrete jungle.

Stayed 4 nights - WONDERFUL. Great rooms, big bathrooms. Great area to stay, good food, great service. Great combination of old charm with great modern twist.
