I don't think so. It went through a $32 million dollar renovation and
reopened in 1998 as a very showy glitzy fiasco, only to close after 3
years. I don't believe it ever re-opened. So sad. The original had a
wonderful "old world" elegance.

In a former life with a former partner, we used to go there for the caviar
and vodka "tastings", following by a sumptious dinner. Those were the
days!
