"Warmth and color soften the fanciness of the Royal Sonesta Hotel's prestigious restaurant. Wide arched windows have views of a courtyard teeming with greenery and flowers, and the chairs are as body-hugging as you'll find. The menu is a blend of modern French sophistication and Creole-inspired flavors. Service is a pleasing combination of informality and correctness. The Friday seafood buffet and Sunday jazz brunch are especially good times to sample the comforts and dishes here."

"An elegant, historic hotel is the setting for Begue's, which offers plush chairs and the kind of atmosphere that says, "Come on in and stay a while."
