2.0 of 5 stars. Heads up, Yelpers - they've changed the menu. And not for the better. The Silverleaf is the hotel restaurant for the 70 Park Hotel, which is a Kimpton property - and for a Kimpton property, the…

3.0 of 5 stars. The $15 cocktails are Tastee but $15? I had the Roebling (i guess named after the engineer of the brooklyn bridge) and if it wasn't $15, I would have had 6 more. But I just couldn't fathom spending…

Brian makes the Best Mojito in the city - stop by the bar!

After extensive reasearch, I can honestly say that Brian at the bar makes the BEST Mojito in the city. Run, don't walk, to the bar. There's also a cocktail list with other interesting drinks, and all are...

Solid, but not great

We tried it in March, and while we weren't thrilled with the food the staff was amazing. The decor is odd, but comfortable. Are those car tires wrapped around the columns? Regardless, the cozy booth seating...
