Just attended Shabbat - Hanukkah celebration at the Lobby. What a wonderful experience!! Great ambiance with the first hour open bar and mingling and then dinner, music and dancing. Head cheff, Neil Strauber did a wonderful job with the traditional Israeli cuisine and warm, family style inviting manner! Crispy Hanukkah latkes with sour cream and the sugared donuts were a highlight for me, but also the delicious hala bread with homemade humus and other dips, the fish and chicken schnitzel, yum!! Will definitely go again!!
