| - Floor 2, or fl2, to use the proper name, is the beautifully redone restaurant in the Fairmont hotel. The limited menu is hard to categorize, but I'd probably call it modern American. There's a raw bar, several small plates, a token salad, a few mains, and several optional sides. We shared the chickpea fricassee, which was enjoyable but could have used more ciabatta. We each had the lamb shanks. They were excellent. Our shared desert was the pavlova, but without the coconut. It's a nice light desert but not a great treat. Drinks were a glass of French Chardonnay and a bottle of Spanish merlot. The wine choices are limited and, as is the current fashion, creative, but very expensive and lacking traditional items like affordable California Chardonnays. fl2 is a good special occasion spot, but not for the meat and potatoes crowd. We'll be back.
