Fun staff & atmosphere. Menu has limited options for those with dietary restrictions & the chef even made me a delicious off menu dish when they were out of what I wanted to order. Most delicious cocktails & bartender was very sweet and personable.

Great place for a nightcap, not busy but not empty. Nice upscale casual vibe with a couple tv’s. The bartender was pleasant and for my wife and I didn’t check in too much or too little it was just right! lol

It is a nice lounge and I’m very impressed since you wouldn’t expect to see this nicer lounge in a small town hotel.

Honestly, I'd skip it next time. The bar is nice at first glance; very moody and well appointed. The vibe was not welcoming (had to wander in, there was only one other patron and I couldn't be sure if that was the manager or a customer at the time, had to seat myself without either of the two staff members offering to assist). Once sat,I did get some good service from one of the two staff. They had the drink I wanted, which was great. Ordered an appetizer which came out quickly and was good, but a bit overpriced (although still fair). Once I finished my appetizer the individual helping me had gone, and I waited what felt like 30 minutes before the second staff member got close enough to catch and place my order for an entree.
All of the above I could have lived with and still given 5 stars, but the entree was honestly just the most horrible meal and absolute robbery for what was provided. It was the orange and cherry glazed shrimp with vegetable fried rice. THIRTY DOLLARS. I figured it was worth the price for well balanced taste and expert curation, but what I got instead was shrimp (with tails on, so I had to take the marinated, sticky tails off myself by hand, which does not make sense for this meal) that was very dry, lacking taste, and fried rice that was tasteless. Nothing about the dish was pleasant or remotely worth what I paid.
Skip this place and get better food at better prices anywhere else. This is not to mention the $15 for each of two drinks that were a single liquor, neat (not a mixed drink). Terrible.

Surprising good hotel bar! The drinks were perfect and the vibe is nice. They have several TVs but, the food menu lacked seafood selections.

Bartender was super nice and accommodating considering she had to watch the whole restaurant herself. The food (got a burger) was pretty decent as well!

Stopped in for a quick bite after a long day of meetings. The Cesar salad (added mahi mahi) was delicious and the Old fashions were too. The bartender was super nice and helped with suggestions. Not sure when I’ll be back in the area but I’d eat here again. Nice atmosphere.
