162 Restaurant

One of the better hotel restos. The Ritz-Carlton name, after all. Food isn't surprising, but it is good. Check out that brunch buffet. Stock up on caviar before they notice.

Even with such a visual treat, folks are also mesmerized by the dining room's elegant, water-hued beauty, including a trio of glittering, freeform chandeliers. The food, too, is on par with the spectacle, as evidenced by diver...
