    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.

    For the second time we had a great diner at Shelby. Tuna tartare, paella and lobster salad were all delicious. Nice selection of drinks. The place is very nice with great view of the city from every corner of inside or outside seating. Highly recommended.

    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🤪
