位於McPherson Square​且適合安靜聊天的優質餐廳

As always, the Lafayette is the best place for breakfast, standing well above all others for its accommodating wait staff (today it was Kenny), pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, well prepared meals, and the wam greetings that welcome you when you arrive at the host’s desk.

We had a reservation and were seated promptly. As a vegetarian, I had several options and chose the kale caesar salad and the agnolotti. Both were delicious and the kale was properly massaged and tender. Others in my party had the salmon, the squid ink, the risotto, and the chicken parm, and all were impressed. Service was impeccable and the restaurant is beautiful. I'd have loved to spend time in one of the greenhouse pods as they looked quite posh, but we were on a time crunch to see a show next door at the Kennedy Center. The staff advised us of the shortcut out the back of the Kingbird to get to the Kennedy Center which was helpful (and a quick easy walk - 5 minutes tops and open/lit such that we didn't feel uncomfortable walking at night). Earlier in the day, we stopped at the Kingbird bar for the artisan cheese plate and a couple cocktails and that was perfect for 2. It's not something I can afford every day but it definitely made for an excellent night out to see John Oliver next door.

Simply the BEST! There is a reason our dear friend requested her birthday celebration be at The Prime Rib. The delicious cocktails are prepared just to our specifications. The food is always excellent (prime rib, medium rare, done perfectly!); the service is sublime; and the ambiance is beautiful, along with the melodious sounds of the piano close by. We had a remarkable time, lost in the beauty of dining in a scene reminiscent of a long-ago and far away steak house. The Christmas decorations added to the magic. Thank you for an amazing dining experience.

The staff made our Christmas Eve dinner truly special. The atmosphere was warm, cozy and joyful.

The restaurant, bar and lounge areas spread out across multiple rooms / terraces / levels so it is a really intimate and fun layout. Excellent service and value. Price for classic drinks skewed a tad high in my opinion. I'll try and catch a happy hour sometime and the jazz performances.
