Competently rendered bar food and slightly higher then average prices. Solid but un-inspired beer list.  

Good physical space, and love the wood burning fire place.  Ambiance somewhat ruined by fellow patrons.

Service moved at *geologic* speeds, I was vaguely surprised to emerge not to find flying cars, or maybe a new ice age and woolly mammoths.

I've been told the pumpkin pie used to be better back when they made it with a nut and graham cracker crust.  I couldn't comment.  But I can tell you I've eaten a lot of pumpkin pies in my day, and I've made a lot of pumpkin pies, and I consider myself something of a pumpkin pie aficionado, and the pumpkin pie at Blue Stove is world class.

A vegetarian at a place famous for bacon donuts I knew brunch wasn't going to be easy.  Happy to say they have a lovely vegetarian option, the micheladas + a shot tequila.  Skip the food and get a 2nd one.

Questionable decor, excellent drinks, rotating menu is tops. Best cocktails in the FiDi.

Ugh, so never staying here again.

The rooms are entirely unexceptional.  

The lobby is dark, weird, and full of horridly annoying people.

The location is convenient only to the being a tourist.

And if you need to follow up with them having checked out, even for something as minor as a getting a duplicate copy of your receipt they'll only communicate with you via fax.

Dozens and dozens of better hotels within a block of this location.

Dropped in for breakfast, appreciated the vegetarian bacon (tempeh).  Still the food *is* diner food, and the prices aren't, can't give more then 3 stars for cost-benefit, won't be back.

Brunch is affordable, filling, and edible without the insane lines of most of 11211's brunch spots.

The Eggs Rothko are one of the great breakfast dishes of all time.  The french pressed coffee is excellent.  If you have some sort of magic avoid-the-ridiculous-line card this is the best breakfast option in the vicinity.

Good hot toddys.  And a fun brunch scene.  The actual *food* at brunch was fairly mediocre, and the coffee was lousy.

I'm sure they're nice enough and all, but the bagels had that "bread roll in a donut shape" thing going on.
