"Positioned on the hotel's ground floor, Klein's presents itself as an all-day, approachable Americana spot centered around a wood-burning grill overseen by chef Warren Baird of Five Leaves; the menu emphasizes simple, communal grill dishes — steak, a burger, a charred Amish chicken — plus a section of grilled breads and accompaniments such as steak tartare and little neck clams with chorizo. The space is casual and intended for impromptu meals alone or with a crew, with more than two dozen seats around an open kitchen that features a Molteni cooking suite, a central bar with ample seating, and sunny chairs with floral cushions that feel like someone's living room. I see it as designed to be a neighborhood gathering place, and it's open 7 a.m. to midnight daily (bar until 1 a.m. Thu–Sat)." - Serena Dai
