Colony Hotel Cabaret

The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach is a great venue for cabaret. Last night we had dinner and were entertained by K.T. Sullivan and Marc Nadler who performed Dorothy Fields Broadway standards. You may recognize her from the work she did for the production of Sweet Charity. The show was lively, and the performance professional. The space at the colony is intimate without seeming crowded and there isn't a bad seat in the house. This night, however, the room was half empty. We've both noticed that there are less people in Palm Beach this year.

We both had the same dinner, a salad followed by potato-crusted grouper served on a bed of very buttery spinach. It was adequate for a nightclub. After the show we went next door to the Polo Bar where there is entertainment every night. The same couple were performing as last year; Jill and Rick. They're terrific and there's no cover charge. They even have a dance floor so it can't be beat for a couple of hours of entertainment and people-watching. We say the same thing every year - this is a great bar and we should go there after dinner every night! So far, we've made it back only once - but we're going tonight as soon as we finish this!
