The LK Dining Lounge

A small group of us went to the LK Dining Lounge today for lounge. It was one of those 75 minute lunches that shouldn't happen in this day and age, and yet they still do. And in Lily Kate's 2,700 square foot beautiful space that is certainly never over run with other guests, it's hard to imagine how they can afford to stay open. Mind you, we've never experienced the dinner scene, so maybe it is super busy at night - in fact they have tweaked the concept since it first open from a more casual fine foods with takeout, to it's now more lounge version 2.0.

Anyway, the space reminds us very vaguely of our favorite hotel in New York, The Hudson with the flagrant use of bright neon green juxtaposed against the grains of beautiful dark woods; all played with a backdrop of subtle house grooves. It's just really a shame that the website (we feel like a broken record as we harp on this kind of thing) is such a bad representation of the real experience.

And the food is decent. And by decent you will just thank god you aren't eating another triple 'o' burger with all the riff raff. The burger is an insanely $14 (That is if you get it with bacon, which is a dumb question. Plus it's served with yam fries and salad), but it's damed good. The soup and other specials are usually delicious and you can't ever really go wrong with the Southern Fried Chicken, Caprese Sandwich, Nachos, or the massive Monte Cristo (yes we've been there a few times) can you? Oh, the cappuccino is always a good call.
