This place is all about the atmosphere. It's a beautiful hotel bar, but the cocktails (and their pricing) don't line up in terms of value or with the more polished ambience. Found the drinks to be amateurishly made at times, imbalanced and overly sweet. Service is fine, but spotty at times. Unfortunately most of the hotel bars in DC aren't up to par in terms of service and quality of libations, say in comparison to NYC or other major cities.
