The food and drinks were ok, but the waitress that served us was extremely rude. I am attending a conference and of course it's common to have drinks with some people you just met. The waitress refused to charge our orders to separate rooms claiming it's not their practice, which is absurd. Even if that was true, they need to let you know before you order, not after. She finally ended up charging us separately, but threw the checks at us. I don't know her name, but she has a terrible attitude. HR training is desperately needed.

Very poor service. The waitress did not greet, and we had to find our own table to sit. Did not ask if we need water and didn’t give us menu. We had to get the menu from other customers. Waited 45+ min to get chicken wings and cheese cake, taste was not good either.

The atmosphere and service is good. The food is hard to say. A chowder and fish&chip is $40 before tax.

Wonderful and friendly service. Crispy golden wings that were perfectly seasoned. I could easily eat a bucket full of these wings! Compliments to the chef.

Came down around 5:00 on a Monday while staying over the weekend plus a few days. Opened a tab and had a few drinks. My friend came by eventually and we moved to a table from the bar. We kept drinking, but eventually an older gentleman that I assume was the manager came by and ran us off as if we were just taking up space or bringing down the vibe of the bar. We weren't inappropriately dressed or being unruly, etc., but the gentleman made us feel very unwelcome even though we were paying customers. The actual bartender and staff were great, the drinks were good, and the prices weren't bad either, we just had a very cold welcome from management.

Lobster roll didn't have any seasonings/toppings on it. There was a tip added on to the receipt for a pickup order.

Servers and bartenders had terrible attitude. Avoid at all costs, even if you’re staying here.

Perfectly average hotel lobby bar. If you're at the hotel, go here. If not, don't.

First two nights, the servers had the most unprofessional attitudes and I ended up finishing the night out at different bars to get better sevice. My final night here, finally got a rockstar server with a great attitude. She definitely earned the 80% tip I gave her!P.S. Make sure you find out if they have cheese for the pretzels before ordering, or else they'll just say, "Guess we don't have any" and then walk away without asking if you want something else or to refund/discount the item. Pretzels are worthless without the cheese that is included with the price.

Here for work, missed lunch traveling, was at the bar/restaurant right at open at 4 for just a quick bite. Ordered the lobster roll (when in Rome, right) and it came loaded with both lobster and a huge side of fries. Wasn’t expecting all of that, left fries even. Lobster could have used a pinch of salt but no complaints really.
