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.
