For Everyone

For Attendees, Teams, and Everyone Else

You do not need a group or a special occasion to eat here. Most of our guests are regular diners: couples grabbing dinner, business travelers looking for a good meal, families on vacation, convention attendees who just want to sit down somewhere nice after a long day on the show floor.

If you do have a group, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests with custom menus, AV equipment, and a dedicated service team. But a table for two works just as well. Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday, 5 to 7 PM. Kids menu available.
