Diners enjoy the chef's table at Bolla, the new restaurant and bar at the revamped Stoneleigh hotel on Maple Avenue.

The $36 million dollar question is this: Can the renovated Stoneleigh hotel retain its quirky, historic allure while enticing a whole new food crowd? In a word, yes. Or should we say: Bolla. That's the name of the Stoneleigh's new restaurant and adjoining bar, conceived by 33-year old chef David Bull (a Mansion on Turtle Creek alum).

The longtime lobby bar of the circa-1924 Warwick Melrose Hotel has reopened with an updated look.

For fans of classic cocktails and the understated retro cool of quaffing in a hotel bar, the return of The Library Bar is overdue. The longtime lobby bar of the circa-1924 Warwick Melrose Hotel has reopened with an updated look that revitalizes the space's trademark rich wood paneling and comfortable seating with a few new touches.

Kevin Murphy Hair Collection a standout
Years in the fashion industry have made us suckers for great packaging, so the Kevin Murphy Hair Collection , newly arrived from Australia, had us partly won before we even uncapped. The square-edged, 100-percent-recyclable bottles come in makeup colors – soft taupe, dusty rose, dove gray, deep chocolate – that even guys can love. And how ingenious is a low rectangular bottle capped so that the bottle can be flipped to stand on one end for easy flow as the product runs out?
