"With vibrant green walls behind the bar and a poolside patio, Elektra in O4W’s Forth hotel looks like it could be the setting of a White Lotus episode. And with a few big round tables that’ll seat your own cast and crew, the Mediterranean restaurant is also great for a long dinner. One where time is measured by complimentary rounds of warm pita and next-day priorities fade away after a taste of your friend’s cinnamon-infused cocktail turns into three orders of your own. Share delicious family-style bowls of pilaf, spicy falafel, and a few perfectly charred kebabs with your group. If the conversation spills over past dessert, take the party to the Moonlight rooftop bar." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Elektra at the Forth Hotel serves breakfast every day, beginning at 7 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on the weekends. The olive oil pancakes topped with orange labneh, saffron whipped butter, and apples in burnt honey are a must-order. Turkish eggs in garlic yogurt, classic shakshuka with poached eggs, and a spinach and feta omelet are also available. Don’t skip the pastries with coffee — the croissants are well done here." - Lia Picard
"Nothing says romance like bonding over who gets the last swipe of hummus. So if you're aiming for that lovey-dovey, share-your-food meal, the mezze platter with bottomless pita and herby kebabs are must-orders at Elektra in O4W’s Forth Hotel. And the cinnamon-infused Brighten Garden is a smooth, sweet cocktail that warrants a few encores. In the summer, the poolside patio feels like a chic Mediterranean escape, while on chilly evenings, heat lamps keep things warm and inviting. Plus, you can extend your night on the rooftop bar, Moonlight." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Elektra in O4W’s Forth Hotel is a terrific anytime restaurant. For a calm brunch, the olive oil labneh pancakes are worth getting out of your PJs for. Need an afternoon escape? Elektra’s summery, pool-side energy delivers. And when the chat group requires an emergency meeting, order the mezze platter with bottomless pita, shareable kebabs, and the cinnamon-infused Brighten Garden cocktail to discuss the tea. If you’re there for a romantic date night, continue your evening on the rooftop bar, Moonlight." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"Speaking of mezze, Elektra at the Forth Hotel has a fantastic spread of its own. Get the chef’s platter, which comes with classic cold mezze (hummus, labneh, muhammara), beets and berries, and pickled vegetables. The honey harissa chicken is a flavorful standout and is served with a side of sumac-pickled onions. The lamb kofta with toum (garlic sauce) is also delicious. The whole branzino is flaky and a generous portion. Inside seating can get a bit loud during busy hours, but the outside seating feels Mediterranean and loungy." - Henna Bakshi
