    Gerard did not disappont! Look at these beautiful cocktails - our favorite Old Fashion and a beautiful margarita with GM float. We truly enjoyed our evening nightcaps here as well as an occasional pre-dinner beverage. Cozy and understated elegance describe this lovely lounge. The entire team is amazing, accommodating and professional. Daniel provided excellent travel suggestions and some restaurant suggestions. We will miss you all including Mary and Alex, whom we were always delighted to see! Thank you, David, for your welcoming smile and our take away coffee cups each day. It was as if we were guests in your home each day….top notch hospitality! We look forward to coming back!
