Location: Top floor of Tower One business building
Transportation/Parking: 5 miles via scooter, parking garage next door. Rather than validate parking, club gave us "Monopoly money" to completely pay for parking.
Room: Main dining room.
Meals: I ordered Caesar salad, Sausage and peppers pasta, berry/white chocolate bread pudding. All excellent. Sean ordered Caesar salad, NY strip with crab topping, cheesecake. We shared crab cake appetizer. Sean's steak was rare rather than medium rare, and had quite a bit of gristle. We had a bottle of Blackstone merlot and coffee.
Decor: Dark woods, subdued fabrics. Gorgeous city views; attractive room with oblique angles.
Atmosphere: Pleasant and formal. The pianist was pretty bad, though. He played Broadway and jazz standards with lots of mistakes and too many frills/glissandoes. Played "Music Box Dancer" poorly, twice. Ugh. We commented that he seemed drunk, but at least it wasn't overwhelmingly loud.
Service: Waiter knew the dishes well. At least three different people brought our food, all with impeccable technique. Minor glitch: waiter tried to tell Sean that asparagus with steak was "chef's preferred pairing" rather than simply accepting that Sean didn't want that vegetable. Waiter talked a bit too much about himself for our taste, but was very pleasant.
