Editor's Tips

Where to Sit:: The neat, gray-and-black patio is an ideal spot for sipping the Crown Bar's specialty champagne cocktails (sparkling wine, honey vodka and ginger cognac) and sharing an appetizer or two.
Know Before You Go:: Dinner is not served Wednesday or Sunday, and reservations are strongly recommended every night.
What to Drink:: Specialty cocktails includes classics with slightly contemporary twists: Hendrick's gin martinis come with a dash of rosemary, for example, and Crown Royal whiskey Manhattans come shaken with sweet vermouth and cherry juice.

service	50.0% positive	“Best pricing in town, and the people here love him!” “He was very rude and unprofessional, and his callous attitude is reflected in the poor service from his employees.” “The staff and service here is great which always helps, however it is a tough door and reserving a table would be the way to go to avoid waiting in line.” “Terrible service ruined the evening.” “From the door guys that won't let you in if you aren't on the right list, to the beautiful bartenders that actually "craft" your drink instead of just slopping something neon green into your glass.” “reserved a table for 6 with bottle service (which was way overpriced, over $325 for a lousy $30 bottle of Vodka), and figured at least I would get 6 names on the list to make sure my friend would be able to get in since his plane was landing at 11pm and”
