Had a late dinner there of Mango spicy wings which were too sweet & cold and Potato skins which were cold and bland. Service was slow. Iced cream cookie with vanilla iced cream was great, but probably only because they’re the same great, fresh cookies served at the front desk. Pizza seemed to be popular but I didn’t try it. Breakfast buffet the next morning was much better. Service was also pleasant and much better. I’d recommend the breakfast buffet, but not dinner.

Stayed at the hotel for 2 days. 1 day of breakfast and 2 days dinner. Breakfast was decent and staff was very kind. The hotel manager came into the restaurant and greeted each table (hats off). Dinner on the other hand was not such a pleasant experience, the first day it took roughly 25-30 minutes for anyone to come out from the back and take my order, others also complained about the wait. Day 2 I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and received a grilled chicken sandwich. The waitress just said it must have been her fault and apologized, but nothing was done to attempt to fix it. My waitress was back and forth running the bar and all tables clearly the restaurant must be understaffed. The food was good both days and the waitress was exceptionally nice. That’s why I gave 2 stars.

I decided to try this restaurant as it was in the hotel and I wouldn't have to go out. I got the fillet mignon with whipped potatoes and asparagus. The fillet mignon was amazing. It was cooked just the way I liked it. The asparagus had a sauce drizzled on it, I'm assuming a balsamic type, and it just paired so well together. The potatoes were soft and flavorful. I also had a lava cake after everything and it was just the perfect thing to wrap it all up. The service was amazing and the place is very well kept. Would highly recommend.

Service was very very friendly and the food was well prepared. The online menu did not match their actual menu. I enjoyed the blackened chicken pasta I ordered. It lacked the bit of spice that I was expecting from "lightly spiced Alfredo" and the blackened chicken was more like normal grilled chicken. I'm a light weight with spicy seasoning - like a lot of black pepper can be spicy for me. Haha. Thus, for me to not taste any spice, it was very lightly spiced. Service was exceptionally slow however not the fault of staff as the restaurant only had one staff acting as both server & bartender and one cook to make all dinner orders. They never stopped moving to serve customers however they were just very short staffed. They managed to stay up-beat all night, even given that some customers were not pleased about the wait. There were clearly a few regulars that the bartender knew and remembered their drinks, etc. It shows that it's overall a very friendly restaurant. I enjoyed my hotel dining experience and since I knew it was going to be slow service, that didn't sour my experience.

I was really hoping the food was going to be as delicious as their picture, but unfortunately I'm going to have to claim false advertising. Blackened chicken pasta was more like soup. I bet there's one slice of a tomato chopped up in there. Restaurant was dead to too so there no reason not to make it how it should be.

My experience at this establishment was fantastic, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Andrea and Julie at the bar. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, taking care of us with genuine warmth and professionalism. Not only did they serve us promptly and accurately, but they also accommodated our request to stay a bit longer, making our visit truly memorable. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor made us feel valued and welcomed. I highly recommend visiting this place and experiencing the outstanding service firsthand. Thank you, Andrea and Julie, for an amazing evening!
