This is where F Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald went to drink, and it's done up to look as it did when they were clinking their glasses. If you want to eat at the restaurant, make reservations WAY in advance. Or just stop at the bar and have a drink with some luscious appetizers. That serves as dinner for many of us, and I'm sure the Fitzgeralds would agree.
