Description
Its style over substance at Hotel Griffou. The subterranean venue is split into cozy rooms with flickering candles in every brick-lined nook. Though cocktailslike the icy mint julepshave a retro bent, the food from chef Jason Giordano may remind you of a school lunch. Dishes like lobster Thermidor fondue (cheese dip with very little shellfish) and Marie Griffous sautéed pork (a gray plate of overcooked pork) may assuage your hunger, but it wont thrill your taste buds. Its the scene, not the food, that keeps Griffou packed.

This place is tight. Bings back memories of Mary Lous...Atmosphere is just right...feels comfotbale and a nice place to hang. Lots of pretty people and the food is suprisingly good.
