Frommer's Review

Just around the corner from the performing arts center on a charming stretch of historic Grand Avenue, 150 Grand serves sophisticated, contemporary American cuisine using top local products. The restaurant embraces an Americana vibe. Patrons are greeted by a bold, room-length mural that pays homage to artist Edward Hopper; and the main dining room is as comfy as a living room and, in fact, actually looks like one (fireplace, bookshelves, and all). The ever-evolving menu may include items like pecan-crusted pork in a brandy-maple reduction, sautéed Idaho trout, or braised short ribs with a mocha-espresso demi-glace. There's also a bar and patio seating; a live-jazz brunch is served on Sunday.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
