Best Historic Restaurants in Pelham Gardens

We were celebrating a 60 th wedding anniversary and a birthday. Great atmosphere for special occasion. Noisier than usual but it is holiday time somit did not bother us much. Excellent, accommodating service and gluten free options. And an easy walk from where we stay

Golden beet salad was great and they were generous with the beets. The wild mushroom bread appetizer was phenomenal. Great sauce (almost like a stroganoff). Steak sandwich was served w an au jus and was juicy. My bride had the lobster Mac and cheese. Very buttery and rich. Perfect lunch. Despite being a little early they sat us before our reservation time. It was our anniversary and we got a special card and great complimentary dessert. Over all wonderful meal

I read some negative reviews and almost cancelled our reservation. VERY glad I didn’t. The hotel and restaurant are beautiful, our servers were attentive, food came out fast. We mostly enjoyed the sweet dishes like the Brioche French Toast and the lemon mascarpone pancakes. The gruyer omelet was nothing special. The decorations in the Hotel are beautiful. Would come again! I requested a table with a view because it was my daughter’s bday and we had a great table! Also host said Happy bday to her when we arrived!

To be fair, we were a party of 13. Not S&W fault, our table was delayed to due guests who wouldn't leave after paying and we were seated almost an hour after our reservation. The staff was beyond impeccable, but the main course, though delicious, came out warm to cold. Our only complaint. One of my guests, who had ordered lobster, had their dish ice cold and did not eat it at all and S & W graciously removed it from the check. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time.

I went to celebrate my birthday with family and close friends. I had such a great time at Jalao. The food was great. The staff were so friendly and kind.
