Review for the hotel bar at the Saint Regis the grand bar our server was Neri. We stopped by the Grand Bar at the St. Regis for drinks and it’s a beautiful, elegant space — a really lovely spot for an after-dinner cocktail. The bartender, Neri, was fabulous, and made us feel very welcome and special. The complimentary savory snacks served with our drinks were a nice touch. The Negroni was tasty. And my champagne was bubbly and perfectly chilled. There was also a delightful piano player who was excellent. His music added a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Overall, a wonderful place to sit, unwind, and enjoy a drink. One of the best hotel bar experiences we have experienced. Bravo!
The food was definitely hotel-quality, prepared with such fine ingredients I’m not much of a drinker, but they had such an extensive wine list that it felt like a missed opportunity!😂 The vibe is stunningly antique and grand, and the live piano music really made the whole experience unforgettable 👍👍👍
