    LOVE THIS RESTAURANT. We can always count on delicious food, beautifully presented with excellent service and QUIET ambiance, so hard to find at times... Only wish they had a few healthier options as well for appetizers and entrees. Salmon and trout always good, but if they had a few more, lighter offerings we would go more often. Beet soup was outstanding, as were the scallops on carrot puree. Sauteed kale with garlic side was also very good. Joy took such good care of us. We have happy memories of this place and love going back there.

    This was a girls weekend for us and we enjoyed the setting and location of District 42. We didn’t realize it was at a hotel and never once felt like we were in a hotel. Set in the middle of the city it was fun to have our first evening there!
