Alfresco Ascent
Raise a glass to balmy weather at Reflections (page
88), an elevated en plein air escape tucked away on
the fourth floor of the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Lush
foliage and heated cabanas confirm its oasis-like
status, the perfect place to sip prosecco or craft cock-
tails—like the Watermelon Smash with fresh mint and
muddled fruit. What’s on the plate is just as refreshing:
a seasonal array of tapas-style dishes that celebrate
the Pacific Northwest, such as albacore tuna poke with
hazelnuts. The great outdoors just got a little greater.
