This decadent dining establishment ups the ante on most hotel dining rooms in the city. The food and decor are as over-the-top as the credit card bill. For espresso, they use a single-group superautomatic machine that grinds the beans and everything after - it appears to be a Verismo that didn't end up in a Starbucks. For beans, they use a modified version of Peet's Major Dickason's blend (they add more Kenyan). The resulting cup has a light film of pale crema and a mellow flavor of mild spice. It's not a flavorful cup by any means, but it is pleasantly understated. (This is about as close as espresso gets to decent tea.)
