The atmosphere was better than expected for a “hotel restaurant.” We wanted a place with live music to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and we were not disappointed. It was very laid back and clean. The piano was fantastic and at the perfect volume. We had no issues holding a conversation while music was being played. Meech, our server, was one of the best I’ve ever had. Friendly, attentive, and great at helping us choose different food and drinks. The regular menu was a little on the smaller side but they also had a special holiday menu that we chose from. My only complaint, and why I can’t give it 5 stars, is that it was a tad overpriced. With drinks it came out to about $100 per person before the tip. So, just be prepared for the check because those drinks add up quickly.

Great food, but what really stands out to me is the outstanding staff; as a frequenter of the hotel, I have enjoyed the nights I get to dine here. Bryan, Meech, and Julie are all great servers and Sam does a great job at the bar. I would recommend making a stop here.

On the corner of Main and Market St in a beautiful old building. Great atmosphere. We had the honey pork rib chop and chicken gorganzola. Chop was fantastic, about 1 1/4 inch think and cooked to perfection, and the mushroom risotto was the best ever. Chicken gorganzola was excellent with a butternut risotto. Service was top shelf. Of course, this comes at a price and it's worth it. This will be our special occasion goto restaurant.

What a wonderful hotel and restaurant!!!! Very classy place. The restaurant located in the hotel was top notch. Food was excellent, both quality and quantity. If I could rate the atmosphere a 10, I would!!! The restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. It was quiet yet there was also a singer/entertainer. It was a perfect mix of relaxing,, quiet, cozy and entertaining.. Service was good as well. The only negative is I asked for no cheese on my chicken sandwich and it still came with cheese. I always say, more power to the server if you don't write the orders down, but if you don't write them down,, you better get the order correct. Anyway, I peeled the cheese off as best I can. But that is minor compared with the entirety of the dining experience. I was here on business, but I will definitely be back for a pleasure visit!!!

We stayed at the hotel and decided to have a nightcap. We were a little hesitant due to it being a Saturday night and not one person in the place. Unfortunately didn't get to try their delicious looking food bc the kitchen was closed at 10pm. But what a surprise to meet the bartender, Doc. He was super knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he does. The drinks he made us were killer!

We came in for breakfast with my husband, and the waitress was very welcoming! The coffee was amazing and she told us it was from a local coffee shop. The food came out quick, and it was one of the best breakfasts I had in a long time! Everything tasted fresh and the price of everything was very reasonable. I wish I would've found out about this place sooner since I'll be coming back here again!

Leon is an amazing chef!!!!! We staryed with the korean bbq wings and they didnt last long.....We kinda went off menu and got the steak. Prepared perfectly. Fingerling potatoes were amazing and so was the rice and asparagus. We had dessert too. I had the bread pudding and really enjoyed that and tiramisu (can't spell it) and that was perfect too. It's not cheap but worth it. The atmosphere is really laid back and not over crowded.

Blown away by how bad this experience was when pricing and reviews are suggesting otherwise. Came here on a Wednesday night and reserved a month in advance because I didn’t realize the place would be empty and I quickly found out why. There were about 4-5 staff members I could see outside of the kitchen and only 2 other tables eating the entire time we were there. After being sat we waited about 7 minutes to be greeted. After ordering cocktails I knew it was only going to down from there. I watched the bartender make the drink in between conversations with other staff members for TEN minutes. There was no one sitting at the bar. For a while she held the half made drink while talking. So no one is here, I can see the bar, and it takes 10 minutes…wild. Waitress finally delivered drinks and took orders. Order 2 steaks, a pork chop and salad. When asking to sub asparagus for the literal only other side they offered which was Brussels sprouts, they were out. You all serve two and only two veggies and you’re out of one? In awe now. The meal was average at best and hardly saw our server so much so we ate most of our meal with no drinks because she never checked on us. If I were the owner or manager I would have lost my mind. I rarely give poor reviews because I understand how busy and chaotic it can be in the service industry but this was far beyond terrible. Piano player was the best part of the night so kudos to him.
