Frommer's Review
While most of Quito's Old Town harkens back to the colonial era, this cozy spot is a tribute to the Art Deco heyday of the early 1900s. Etched glass, plush high-backed leather booths, high ceilings with ornate stucco designs, and marble floors give this place a sophisticated feel. The menu and food are not nearly as upscale as the decor, but they are dependable. You can get a range of standard Ecuadorian fare and well-grilled steaks and a few Continental classics, like cordon bleu. The bar here is also a good choice if you're looking for a quiet watering hole.

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.
