    Food was slow arriving. Service was slow because of the number of tables she was working. Overall, it’s a hotel bar, not a restaurant. Disappointing.

    I was surprised by the quality of the food. My blackened chicken with shrimp pasta was outstanding, by any restaurant’s standards. And, our server, Megan, was a pleasure.

    I went with four of my friends and business partners for our business lunch meeting and it was a wonderful spot the ambience was gorgeous and the noise level was none existent. We could hear ourselves speak and didn’t have to scream at the top of our lungs to communicate. 10/10 recommend. The honey old bay wings are WOW !

    The waitress was outright rude. I asked for a manager and one wasn’t available but I wouldn’t want my dog treated in that manner. Her tone, her actions and the bartender tried to assist but speak up acknowledge her wrong behavior because it affects all of you.

    Dinner staff were very friendly, we enjoyed champagne, service was on the slow side but mainly because the bar was hopping with people. Hubby’s burger was “ok,” mom’s poet wrap was “bland and very dry,” she recommends a pesto or some other sauce be added or requested. I had the Orecchiate which was also ok. Poet’s breakfasts were awesome!!!! Coffee was wonderful. This place is always hopping and the ambience is great! Plus, it’s located in a wonderful historic hotel.

    Had dinner here with some friends on 9/21 before going to hear Ketanji Brown Jackson speak at the Pratt Library. Friends ordered crab cakes and I ordered fish tacos and a Caesar salad. The salad was ok, but the fish tacos were pretty good and my friends really enjoyed the crab cakes. Our server was very nice and thoughtful and offered us a variety of dishes and spirits to try. It seemed as though she was the only working, and there were a few parties in the restaurants, but she maintained everything! I will return!

    A very nice cafe that you forget you're next to a hotel lobby. Great place to meet.
