Gilt Bar gives you all the right signals but doesn’t deliver what matters most. The drinks are strong, the room is beautiful, but the food lacks finesse and the service stumbles. You won’t regret going. You just may not remember it either.
Nora looks the part, but she hasn’t written her script yet. The set design is winning. The meal, at times, is steady. But to elevate, the restaurant needs to choose an identity and commit. Until then, it remains a place that’s pleasant enough but not memorable.
Divan has polish, but not personality. The steak was solid, the caviar cute, and the cocktails trying very hard. You’ll leave full and searching for something a little more memorable.
