There are two restaurants. I far prefer the Bistro at your left as you enter. Just compare the menus... and the prices. You will see one reason why. The popovers are outrageous!

A gorgeous place to walk through. I am recommending the brunch here in the Garden Court. During the holidays there is a special brunch. Not cheap- but give yourself a treat. Other times: $$$$
