The downtown restaurant is called the "Spindle top."   I think its the Hyatt
Hotel.  Anyhow, the elevator ride to the restaurant is quite good and the view
most pleasant.   The food is acceptable, although this restaurant is not a 5
star establishment.  However, they have steaks, seafood and pasta which are
palatable.   The restaurant has been around for ages - I intend to go back.
