THIS RESTAURANT HAS CHANGED NAMES Stone Lotus Restaurant Review:


Touting itself as the city’s first “liquor spa,” this Zen-looking, wee-hours lounge---with a menu originating from almost-Top Chef Dale Levitski (Trio Atelier, La Tache, Orange and, now, Sprout)---began as a class act, though it has lost some of its luster over the years. Sporting a natural feel (think bamboo, metal and stone details, not to mention a trickling waterfall), it’s the kind of place where you reserve tables for VIP treatment. Taking bottle service to another level, patrons order their liquor of choice, and it comes with an array of house-made mixers (perhaps huckleberry-mint soda), garnishes (toasted cinnamon sticks) and “mini tastes” (spring rolls, mini burgers with truffled Gouda). A full bar promises regular folks plenty of luxury, too, in the form of cocktails, like Lotus Pollen (with Absolut, fresh-squeezed OJ, pineapple juice and an amaretto float).
