From Citysearch

Bambara's interior matches the hip environment of the chic Hotel Marlowe, to which it's connected. The warmly lit dining room contains several high-backed banquettes (great for intimate dining), and is split in two by a bar that features its own menu of small plates, a lengthy, international wine list and a creative cocktail menu (pomegranate-ginger martinis, kiwi mojitos). Classy servers keep an eye on water glasses and are well-versed in the menu's intricate ingredients. Best described as specializing in modern American comfort fare, Bambara offers stylish interpretations of familiar brasserie favorites like pan-seared scallops and braised short ribs. Menu highlights include warm lobster sliders, orcchiette Bolognese and the kitchen's signature steak frites. Leave room for sinful desserts like chocolate bread pudding with vanilla-bean ice cream or a cinnamon-pear tartlet.
