Turns out, the Hotel at Shattuck Plaza has not only a rock-solid restaurant, but a bang-up — if slightly mannered — bar space as well. Drinks are well-made and undeniably thought-out — you'll be hard-pressed to find a cocktail here with fewer than five ingredients — but it's a pleasant place for an after-work or post-theater cocktail. Plus, there's live entertainment on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.

Chef Stephane Tonnelier coaxes fresh, vibrant flavors out of classic American dishes at the Hotel Shattuck Plaza's fantastically appointed restaurant. Local, organic, absolutely fresh ingredients star in its dishes. Imaginative wine and cocktail list.

— Matthew Stafford
