We ate on the patio because we travel with our dog. The food and atmosphere were great, but someone had to go inside to order - the waiter brought our food to us but did not come out to take our order. We had a very nice meal. The cider option was one brand, but the beer menu was ok.

The stuff are very good and extremely pleasant.

The food tasted and looked good. The selection on the menu is a little to be desired of, however. I’m not wanting bread and sandwiches and I don’t want yet other non exciting run or the mill salad. In solution to the last salad could easily be made by looking into French cuisine.

It was disappointing to see that a square meal wasn’t really an option. What do I mean by that? Simple, meat and two veg. Or a solid vegetarian hot meal which reinvigorates diner.

So, how could this menu have a home-cooked meal option? Easy, it means giving some power to the chef where they create the food and it isn’t delivered in its uniform taste and look solution, I understand why hotels and restaurants have gone towards this solution of uniform presentation. But there are ways which are better for this planet, ie, requires less processing and less packaging, where the chefs are also given a little poetic license and the power to create something special and unique. Control can be maintained through the taste of the pesto or the quality of the pasta or specifying a certain recipe for certain meals - let’s give chefs a little more power to their elbow! The ability to create and share a signature dish or two…

At first, I was excited to order from this place. It’s beautiful, but the service was slow. The bar drinks were good. We ordered the hamburger and it was less than a quarter of an inch thick fries were the frozen cheap fries very disappointed in the food.

This bar/restaurant is literally in the hotel lobby,
So my expectations were low…
But Josh and Connie (bartenders) took good care of me.

I had a buffalo chicken sandwich
and some local IPA,
then came back later in the evening for an old-fashioned.
Everything tasted top-notch, service was fast, prices were reasonable compared to other hotel restaurants I’ve seen.

Glad I stopped by.

This place was fine, I ate here several times while staying at the hotel for work. It’s a little unclear if you are supposed to order at the cashier or sit at a table - when I sat down nobody gave me a menu so I eventually ordered at the cashier, but others got table service. The pasta dish is a bizarrely small serving - I would happily pay a couple bucks more for a normal serving of pasta. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was good. Breakfast options pretty limited and slow.

Super limited dining choices in the area and decided to walk from another brand hotel.Great IPA beer on tap, many cocktail choices as well.I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and presentation of the food. The hummus plate was a great appetizer. The chicken sandwich was good, and the Cobb salad was impressive both visually and in taste. Our party was super impressed for this hotel dining option! Pricey, but the convenience can't be beat if you are in any of the hotels here!
