He did his job, but he wasn't the friendliest/warmest. The lounge itself was the highlight for me. It's trendy without being over the top and the bar area is really nice, There are plenty of TVs for catching a game, and there are enough seating options to tuck yourself away in a corner if that's more your vibe. Overall, I enjoyed it and would stop in again the next time I'm staying at the Paradox.

I didn't realize the restaurant did sushi platters and oysters - what a pleasant surprise! The oysters were delicious. For the sushi I've definitely had better, but was still impressed that the restaurant had this kind of platter available. Portions were really big and among the dishes, the miso cod was a big standout with great flavour and texture. I also enjoyed the matcha tiramisu dessert as it was not too sweet. The staff were very friendly and attentive to replenishing drinks. I believe some of the drinks were made specifically for the event so I'm not sure if any of the ones I had are on the regular menu. However, the drinks were delicious and the 'Ryujin' especially was my favourite one (the glass with dragonfruit garnished over top!) It was fruity, sweet, and deceivingly tasted like tropical juice. I would like to return to experience the restaurant on its own sometime. In the meantime, it's an excellent spot for private events!

We ordered earlier in the day, and the shucker was clearly alert, taking the extra steps to ensure a clean finish. Truffle fries were indulgent and perfectly crisp, though the garlic aioli was milder than I prefer -- almost like straight mayo without a punch. I skipped the sushi wrap, sticking to my traditionalist ways, but my friend enjoyed it. Brownie bites, complimentary as they were, were a disappointment. Lacking enough fat and possibly stored improperly, they tasted a bit stale -- a shame, because how does a brownie not taste good? Our server was attentive and charming, swooping in at just the right moments for round twos and top-offs, which made the experience that much smoother.

Balanced, flavorful, and the kind of cocktails that make you want to linger a little longer. My husband and I tried a couple of stellar cocktails: Dr. Greenthumb (10/10), Smoked Old Fashion (9/10), Hibiscus Spritz (9/10) and a shot of Michter with draught beer for drinks. We paired them with a charcuterie board "Bart's board' that came loaded with three types of cheese, a nice selection of meats, pickles and plenty of crackers to go around. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully put together. We also enjoyed the bar nuts! Other food items on the menu sound absolutely delicious but we wanted to wait for dinner. The vibe here is just lovely with warm lighting, a cool atmosphere, and the kind of ambience that makes conversation easy and fun. Perfect for a date night, casual social event with friends/coworkers. The servers really made the experience though--attentive, kind, and quick without ever rushing us. Definitely a place I'd come back to again (and again). Happy hour at Bartholomew is highly recommended!

Staying downtown and attending Les Misérables we decided to try something different than we…read morenormally do and we discovered The Ventura Room. We got there quite early into service so not a lot of people in the place. The ceiling is low, it's kind of dark, but somehow it works. It feels maybe more intimate, which was right up our alley. We wanted some nibbles, not a full blown meal lest we fall asleep during the performance. Happy hour was still on so we ordered the dill pickle chips and the burger sliders combo. Both were excellent! The chips were spot on definitely dill pickley, nicely cooked and crispy. The sliders were really great as well, not too small like many we've had lately and you could really taste the beef. Our martinis were also great although a little more juice in the "dirty" side of the equation and perhaps an olive without a pit. We also ordered the BLT with mixed greens, which we probably didn't need but Les Mis is almost three hours long. The service was also great, waters topped up regularly and the servers interactive and interesting. We would absolutely come back to Ventura again. Oh and Les Misérables was outstanding!
