The food and service are always OUTSTANDING at The Odeon! Today, I want to call attention to our server's attention to detail, which was spot-on excellent! She must have observed my dining companion opening his birthday card, or overheard us talking....but when dessert arrived, it came with a lit birthday candle and heartfelt congratulations : ) THANK YOU!

The restaurant was wonderful. It was a little odd that our waiters switched shifts in the middle of our tea service, but it was okay. They were not overly attentive. The food was great; the ambience was great. The Crosby Bar needs easier access to the bathroom though. Tough navigating down stairs and hallways with an injured foot! We want to come back next year.
