Choose from three re-fueling options: the seasonal, outdoor Terrace Grill, featuring lovely views of the estate and city skyline; the casual Liberty Caffé, an all-day spot for coffee, pastries, and lunch; and the elegant BlueBlood Steakhouse (opened in 2017), which serves prime meats from Kansas, Prince Edward Island, and Japan in a stylish, heritage-meets-modern space adorned with works by Warhol, Dali, and Mr. Brainwash.
