Restaurants near Hotel Lucent

We ate at Left Bank because we've eaten there before (multiple times) and had really positive experiences (with one menu item in particular, not on the current menu, being absolutely incredible; I'd eat it every day). This time it was a mixed bag. The service was great; attentive without hovering. Just right. Drinks were very good. Most of the food was really good (including the steak frites, where the steak was done perfectly). But a few of the menu items (there were 7 of us) were less great. In particular, the butternut squash ravioli was disappointing. The ravioli itself was fine. And some of the additions (like pomegranate seeds on top) were -- while unexpected -- also nice. But the dish was way over-sauced/over-creamed. I'm not sure why they would do that, since generally Left Bank seems to be great about how they prepare and plate dishes. I would definitely not order that entree there again. But on the other hand, I'd definitely give Left Bank another try, because previous trips there have been really, really nice. Just... hey LB: lay off the sauces a little bit and trust the flavor of your dish!

We had a lovely New Years Day meal here with friends, the service was prompt and courteous, the brunch was delicious and we topped the meal off with freshly made crepes - a great start to 2025!

A very enjoyable Christmas lunch. Seeing you have British in your name, you could offer a more British option too. How to improve for next year - turkey as an option, real Christmas pudding, crackers. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the fixed price menu.

The food is wonderful and the servers are friendly as is the owner.

Booked for 2 but ended up with 5. First time around and we liked the food and appreciated the service. Restaurant owner came by to chat and shared. Will return.
