The Remington Bar

Nice place to have a drink if you are staying at the hotel. They have a couple of tvs that you can watch a game. The Bloody Mary was kind of different. The color was a bit brown. I was asked if I wanted tequila or vodka. I chose tequila since that was what the description had.

The bar is kind of cool. It has a dark look and feels like you are in a dark steakhouse bar. The bartenders there were great. Heard one say he was working there since the late 70s or something crazy like that.

The bar has a old basment-y smell to it. We arrived Friday right when it opened. Due to our room not being available and my husbands Ambassador Elite status we were promised an upgraded room and complimentary drinks from the bar.

I ordered a cosmopolitan and my husband ordered Johnny walker black. We were the only guest as it was very early in the evening. My drink was great. I remember coming here in January and the cosmo was terrible so that was a pleasant surprise. For a snack I ordered the chicken sandwiches which were decent.

The painting and overall design of the bar is very chic and classy. The smell just needs to be eliminated.

They used to have the best dance bands on weekends. No more since Pandemic. Elegant place though!

At the beginning of the week, I called and made a reservation for 6 people for a business lunch on Friday. The first 2 members of our party got there and were told the restaurant was closed and we could eat in the bar from the bar menu. There was no record of the reservation and no notice that the restaurant was taken for an event. They left and we joined them around the corner where another restaurant could accommodate us. Won't be back.

TL;DR Great breakfast options. Solid and consistent food with great service.

Yes, the food is expensive, but it is undoubtedly reliable. I have had the privilege of dining here multiple times for breakfast and have never left disappointed.

---FOOD:
+Pecan Wood Smoked Salmon (5 stars): Oh baby, we might not be in NYC, but this salmon lox and bagel plate is no joke. You get enough salmon for 2 bagels and a variety of garnishes to deck your bagel out. A better bagel could really push this entree over the top, but even so, this lox plate is still worth 5 stars.

+Traditional Bircher Muesli (5 stars): This bircher muesli is so, so good. It's creamy and not too sweet, and it is loaded with apples, raisins, and walnuts. It also comes topped with fresh berries and bananas. And for $11.00 it's like getting three meals in one because the portion is so large!

+Crab, Spinach and Scrambled Egg Enchiladas (4 stars): This specialty is for the heartiest of morning appetites. Not too heavy or greasy in any way, although they are filing. Skip the rice-- it's just plain white rice and does not match the flavors of the enchiladas.

+Blueberry Bowl with Vanilla Yogurt, House-made Granola (4.5 stars): A simple but well prepared breakfast that you could order every day. The granola is tasty and the blueberries are the freshest.

---EXPERIENCE: It's a St. Regis hotel, so you better expect the service to be perfect. And it is. The restaurant allows for many modifications to your meal and waiters are as attentive as they are kind.

I would return.

Had a fabulous Sunday brunch at this restaurant last week. The food, the presentation and the wait staff are outstanding. Food is spectacularly plated and tastes just fresh and wholesome. We ate here I am after having spent the night at the Saint Regis and the breakfast really topped a beautiful weekend. The lox and bagels beautifully presented and the Applewood smoked salmon is sublime. I would strongly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Nice spot in the St. Regis with a live band. They have a limited bar menu with small bites. The service is good. I visited on a Friday night. I really enjoyed the band.

I've been to several networking events at The Remington Bar. Located inside the St. Regis Hotel, it's valet only unless you park on the street. Remington is an upscale bar with an old-school vibe. It looks like you're walking into your rich grandpa's library since there's a lot of wood. Beers go for $6.50-$7 with mixed drinks/cocktails going for a little more.

At least for networking events, a lot of people squeeze in the bar so it gets pretty loud. Makes it tough to hear, maybe due to the acoustics, but I'm sure this is not the norm here. If you have AT&T, you won't have service here which is annoying. I mean you seriously expect me not to check my phone every 5 minutes??!

Fair warning, I'm pretty certain that escorts frequent this bar. Seems like every time I attend a networking event here, there is an old geezer chatting with a scantily-clad, attractive young lady. I'm not 100% here but my friends and I all seem to be under the impression that it's true.

Exceptionally good food and service. Had the braised beef ribs and it was the most tender ribs ever had. The mashed potatoes was very good.

As others have said, the mature goers have this place on lock. But hey need a place to get out too.

If you're looking to hear hip hop or any pop culture hits, forget about it. It's big band and swing music.

But, why the heck is everyone complaining about the price of drinks? Have none of you ever stayed in a hotel before and went to the bar? Going to a hotel bar and complaining about the price of drinks is like going into Tiffany's and complaining about the price of their jewelry. Get into it.
