    Have been dying to go to the Cavalier since I saw a photo of the bar in Aritectural Digest. Ken Fulk designed it. I thought the place was cool, 30 something crowd and the food was sophisticated.

    Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪
