The Review: Blue Plate Oysterette
Know something we don't?
No, it's not your drink. The room is spinning.
Popular Drinks: Standard-issue cocktails -- on the pricey side, but far from subtle.
Unique Drinks: Most specialty cocktails weigh in at $12.95 a pop, but they do come in one-of-a-kind, take-home glasses (check out the Cloud Buster replica of the hotel and the Strawberry Boot).
Food: Server in a chef's hat passes by with a rolling cart of appetizers every 15 minutes or so; Brie, bruschetta, shrimp cocktail and such. Desserts also available.
Seating: Window seats are best; booths for bigger parties and those prone to motion sickness.
Ambience: Unusual mix of tourists; decor c. 1983, but who's looking at anything other than the 360-degree view?
Extras/Notes: The fun begins with the glass elevator ride -- take the red (circle) elevator to the 35th floor and take the staircase one floor down to the bar. These famous elevators have been seen in several films, including "Strange Days" and "The Last Action Hero."
Parking: Hotel parking is $5 for every four hours.
