"There’s a renewed trend of ambitious restaurants opening just off fancy hotel lobbies, as a quasi-amenity that guarantees you’ll be able to go for breakfast and lunch as well as dinner. Smyth Tavern also channels the city’s earliest taverns, not only in its woody decor and pub-like darkness, but in its menu of Parker House rolls, deviled eggs, campanelle alla vodka, roast chicken, and steaks." - Robert Sietsema
