The venue features an eclectic menu and is complemented by Gin Rickey, the hotel's lounge serving pre-prohibition-inspired craft cocktails and curated wines, plus Deco Cafe offering Starbucks coffee and breakfast. The restaurant celebrates its heritage with nostalgic happy hour specials, including the famous "Buy one cocktail at today's price and get your second at 1928's price" deal.
