Humphrey's Bar

Decorative Details Shine on Valentine's Day

My recent visit to Humphrey’s Restaurant was a delightful contradiction. Nestled within a bustling hotel, it defies the typical expectations of a humdrum lodging eatery, offering guests an aesthetically pleasing experience. On arrival, the charming and tastefully atmospheric decor immediately absorbs you, as if stepping into a cocoon of temporary tranquility away from the world. Little adornments for seasonal celebrations—tediously curated down to the last detail—lend an intrinsic warmth to the spacious venue, inviting diners to settle in comfortably. Vadim, our attendant for the evening, demonstrated not only impeccable professionalism but also an intuition that rendered us pampered, making sure every need was anticipated and zealously fulfilled.

Afternoon tea promises a splendid tangle of savory delight and sweetness, each component ironic in its careful craftsmanship for such an easy-going affair. While certain menu staples like their enticing spaghetti Bolognese failed to deliver, mourning the loss of traditional Parmesan, the wide variety still offered enough culinary canvas to please more adventurous tastes. Further exploration lead me to robust, seasonally inspired cocktails grounding us back at travel's whimsy. While whispers of improved gastronomic potential abound, as one navigates through Humphrey’s offerings, it’s fair to expect a serene environment with decent nourishment and marvelous service, kissed by some of life's little joys. — Jasper Griddle
