The Lobby Cafe

Sometimes you have to take a step back to gain perspective. I did this last night. While there was a chocolate decadence event in the Ritz bar, my friends and I were invited by the hostess to relax either at that event or in the lobby café where we could get drinks and food without the gluttony of chocolate. We sat with a view of the fireplace and gobbled up crabcake sandwiches, flatbread, and french fries with boozy drinks and since I’m pretty suggestible, hot chocolate. The service was its usual outstanding.
This was all made even more evident when we compared it to the shoddy service and ambiance we experienced this same night at the Hay Adams… a place I had until tonight loved as much as if not more than the Ritz.
Ah well, the times change some places. Thankfully, the times have not changed The Ritz. They’re still consistently awesome.
PS: Even if the hot chocolate is no longer bottomless.
