Ask the hostess to let you upstairs. It's like a speakeasy museum! Fun collection of elaborate costumes and photos. You do not need to dine at the restaurant to visit.
[Jennifer Kefer, 07/05/2022]Just walk directly down the front hall, past the bathrooms and upstairs to the left. You don't need to ask anyone. You can also enjoy French 75, a historic bar, downstairs.
