Seated with one other group present, waited 30 minutes for a skillet and croissant. Ignored by waiters until the food arrived.

Skillet tasted good, but it was mostly a greasy pile of 5 different meats. And way too much, maybe 2lbs of food! Just less meat, and less kinds of meat, would've drastically improved the dish.

Coffee was just passible, in a town overflowing with great coffee. The croissant had a hard crust as if it were reheated in an air frier.

If you're in the hotel and have time, it's not the worst choice, but there's just so much better food and great service on every block downtown so you should go elsewhere.

Minor gripe: It's a whiskey lounge but I saw no whiskey displayed... Just weird to not see a selection of whiskey when you walk into a whiskey louge.

Good experience overall. A little loud around 6:30pm. Bacon wrapped dates were overcooked. Brussel sprouts were amazing. Pork chop dish was a favorite.

Susan

Great place - love the comfortable booths - not many good choices for reasonable food and drinks in this part of town near the Keller. This is a keeper !

Steve

The food was good. Delivered to the table warn, not hot. I would try someplace different if I return.

Randomly found this place when the restaurant we wanted to go to was booked. I was very surprised that it was inside a hotel. The food was so good with great flavor combinations. And they made an excellent old fashioned and even a fancy mocktail! I would eat here again next time I see a show at the Keller center. And easy walk to the show.

We had the elk sausage pasta along with a dragonfruit cider, which were very good, and the Caesar salad with prawns, which was fine but nothing special.

Server was great and friendly. Steaks my wife and I ordered were grisly and fatty. Salmon was ok and veggies were good. Drink was great. Probably won't eat there again if I have options

I booked a booth, we were sat in the middle of the restaurant. We had to wave down the waiter to get drink refills. The food was average. I would not go back.

Ducked in for a nightcap, Friday night, place was packed , our server was clearly not having a good evening, but to be fair, she had a lot on her plate. Great whiskey selection, good cocktails and nice vibe for a hotel bar, but pretty loud, almost clubby.
OK in a pinch.

Decided to try my hotel's (Mariott Downtown Waterfront) in house restaurant Proof*Reader after a day of conferencing, and it did not disappoint. Everything was great! From the ambience (80's pop and rock) playing softly. The exceptional service by Frank, AND the food.
Italian veggie soup with a rosemary bread. I could have stopped there BUT Fried brussel sprouts with what I believe were mini sweet potatos and roasted peppers and Chili sweet/spicy wings (not hot). Had plenty to take home. Topped off with the Bourbon Apple cake and ice cream for dessert.
