The Restaurant at The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

"But guest rooms really take a back seat to the exceptional lobby and other common areas: the sumptuous Waldorf Astoria Spa, Domenica restaurant, Sazerac Bar, and the historic Blue Room club"

"Also attached is the great John Besh restaurant, Domenica"

"The grandest lobby in town transports you back to the late 19th century, with a decorous corridor of activity, as well as the wonderful Italian delights of Domenica Restaurant and evocative cocktails at the Sazerac Bar"

"Swish rooms have classical details, but the spa, John Besh restaurant, storied Sazerac Bar and swanky jazz lounge are at least half the reason to stay"

"Part of the Waldorf Astoria Collection, the property has all the trappings of a first-class hotel, including a luxe Guerlain Spa and John Besh's Domenica, a buzzy Italian restaurant adeptly run by Alon Shaya"

"With a grand lobby, classic rooms, a rooftop pool, a historic restaurant, and wonderful service, The Roosevelt attracts a varied crowd of celebrities, well-heeled couples, and business travelers"

"Its signature restaurant, Domenica, is a partnership between celebrated chefs John Besh and Alon Shaya; dishes are a fusion of Italian, Israeli, and New Orleans flavors"

"The Food Dotting the first floor is Domenica restaurant, the brainchild of John Besh and Alon Shaya, two of the city’s most celebrated chefs"

"The big news, however, is the closure of the Sazerac Restaurant, though it never matched the bar’s charm or history"
