Hotel bar. In a conference room. Weird.

Great drinks and an entire page of gluten allergen free options that taste wonderful.

We have been here many times before the hotel was split into half. The restaurant and bar has moved to a make shift conference room. It wasn't too bad just the same as far as the restaurant look/feel. Helen is always our waitress and has been there many years. Today the lunch rush was just our party of 5. We all got turkey clubs and wraps as the turkey was highly recommended. Everyone was happy with the quality and taste. Good fries too! Personally and unless I was a guest of the hotel, I would not come to hang out at the bar - it just didn't feel like a bar. Although, bottles were like $4. I am told a brand new small restaurant will be in the works late 2018, so stay tuned. Helen is really nice for the lunch crowd - a big plus.

Staying at Radisson hotel, this place is worth a visit on weekends, Good and warm staff. Food is good too

Bad, bad food. They didn't even have their gas working so only a portion of the menu was open (grilled items). I first ordered the salmon and after five mins, the poor bartender told me I needed to wait as the "fresh" salmon was frozen. I changed to chicken... The chicken came out raw and chewy like I've never experienced before. I had them take back and finally have sirloin tips. They we're edible but just barely :(. I feel sorry for the people who work here as it is not their fault.

Had dinner and drinks here on a recent trip. Coming right in I had a bad impression of the staff. The busboy was very disheveled and seemed to be missing some teeth. The bar hostess was slow to come over and get my order. The clientele was diverse, some looked like truckers/construction and there were a few business people mixed in. I ordered the filet mignon and a few minutes later, the bar hostess said that the meat was frozen and it would take too long to thaw. Yikes! Probably better to say that they ran out.... then I ordered the "fresh salmon" with vegetables. I asked her to make sure it was not frozen and she verified with the kitchen it was not. When it came out it was well seasoned but sadly overcooked. I ordered the cabernet and it was reasonably priced.

Came for dinner because I met family staying at the Radisson. It an ok option for a drink and a bite especially if your staying at the hotel, if not I see why it's not a very busy place. Nice enough interior like the hotel it's a little dated and needs some help. We had Nachos, a Reuben, Chicken Caesar Salad and Clam Chowder so nothing too hard. The Reuben was good - it says it's shaved corned beef but that's NOT the case. The Sweet Potato Fries, the Chicken Caesar Salad and the Nachos were good and worth getting again. The Clam Chowder (billed as award winning) was NOT OK! It was way too thick and tasted of uncooked flour. Sorry but this was unacceptable coming out of a professional kitchen - pub or not. So not sure I'd ever go back unless I'm staying at the hotel and I don't want to change out of my comfy clothes.

Stayed in the attached Radisson hotel over a long holiday weekend, so we ate here several times. The homemade potato chips are outstanding. The bar had two live bands in over the weekend. It is too small for bands, but would be a great venue for acoustical music. During our stay, we had burgers, wraps, nachos, beer, wings - it was all delicious. This is definitely not the place young (18-29 Yr olds) would want to hang out for the night, but for the 40+ crowd, it's great.

So close to giving this place 5 Stars, except my last meal there ended in disaster. I had a breakfast voucher and the staff was trying to force me to pay the tax and a 18% tip on a to-go order....so shady and unprofessional... Fruit is a rip off, but their egg sandwiches were to die for. Had that for every breakfast meal to go and the man working during the week was so nice in accommodating me. =) Yay for him, but boo for the Saturday staff...

It comes down to laziness really, you drink in the bar where you're staying. Laziness can be the only excuse. I'll put it like this: last Friday I was told they don't pour doubles. Then, a half hour later I was told they don't pour shots. Then they started running the vacuum a few feet from us at 9:30pm. The steak was chewy garbage and the vegetables soggy. Indifferent service completed the package. Suburban hotel bars are rarely worth a damn but this is one of the worst. Please let them know by avoiding this shithole.
