Our family visited this restaurant New Years Eve we were staying at the hotel so we decided since it wasn’t busy we would eat a early dinner. We had the grilled chicken sandwiches, crab cakes and side salads. My wife and mother in law are deathly allergic to butter so we were very hesitant about trying a new place. The entire wait staff was very accommodating and was able to cook the meal without butter and everything was great!!! We can’t wait to come back!! Great job!!!

Probably one of the poorest establishments I have ever eaten at. If you want to try this over priced horrible services restaurant out, you had better hurry because I doubt they'll be in business long. It's a shame for the hotel because the hotel is nice and staff are great, but the attached restaurant is horrendous. The staff are polite when they're actually waiting on you, however, they're so understaffed they can't handle more than 5 people typically. Slow service, when you get any. I think the real issue is the management or lack there of.

If not staying at the hotel, just avoid. Staff is good, prices are average for the area, but food selection is limited.

Food was good and service was very good. Would go again.

I've been three times during my stay in the hotel and each has been a disappointment. The first night, we went down to the restaurant for dinner and drinks. There are specials posted everywhere in the hotel and on the website, but they are not available! Our bartender was frustrated that people kept coming in expecting things that he couldn't deliver. Well, imagine how customers feel being duped. We tried two appetizers and an entree. Everything was good, but small and far overpriced, even for a hotel restaurant. And $14 for a margarita without much alcohol. We had breakfast vouchers so we went twice for their buffet. Service was terrible! In a massive restaurant space, they try to cram every party into one long booth with the small tables. If you ask to sit six feet away at one of the empty tables, they say those seats are "not in service." Until they fill up the long bar, and then wouldn't you know it? You may think keeping all the patrons together would result in quicker, more efficient service. Except you rarely see the waiters again after they bring your first drink. On both days, people had to go to the back to flag people down or ask for refills. One person next to me didn't want to order from the buffet but off the menu, and he sat there for at least ten minutes before he had to go find someone to order a simple parfait. They do pop-out pretty quickly if someone tries to grab the $2 coffee from the lobby, though. The food itself was terrible. Their egg-inspired thing had the texture of a sponge. Everything was greasy, even the pancakes. The fruit had plenty of brown pieces. On the second day, one of the trays was empty and not refilled the entire time I was there. The potatos were nearly raw. Just pitiful.

Simply overpriced food, ok to eat but the price for the quality sours your stomach. I expected better for the location, but was let down. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars, the staff was awesome.

Decent food and OK service, perfect if you want to stay in at the hotel. The crab cake sandwich is delicious. For dessert, though, the apple strudel was disappointing. A strudel should be flaky and crispy, but this was moist all the way through ... including the dough. All in all, safe if you want to stay in, but nothing exceptional.

For a motel bar and Restaraunt this place is great. We generally avoid hotel bars and restaurants but this place is an exception. Food is good and the kitchen was quick. A little pricey but the service is great. Waiter worked his butt off.

Fine breakfast buffet. They had pancakes! Nothing spectacular though

Very poor service and food prep. Two of my dishes were not served according to menu. Tip was hidden and included in bill

It was filling but that's it. My rib eye was thin and overcooked with no seasoning. Plain and over priced.

It's not the same since the old bartender Drew left but regardless it's not really a "real" full Bar with all the great stuff yet it's expensive and for no good reason. Peaceful though.

Even considering the fact that this was a hotel restaurant and I had lower expectations, I was disappointed. The staff were pleasant and on top of things, but the food was definitely sub-par. Any place that does not permit you to get meat cooked any way other than well-done loses points in my book.

Came down here with the (extended) family on a Saturday night. We wanted to grab some small plates to share and a couple beers before turning in for the night. Overall, this is a pretty good bar. The hostess/waitress took care of us and treated us very well. Their draft beer selection is limited, but their bottled beer was cold and they had a typical selection. We enjoyed several different appetizers, but their Buffalo-style chicken wings were surprisingly good. They were crispy and the sauce was spicy and flavorful without being too hot. Riding in the elevator, I noticed that wings on Thursday are only 50 cents each! That's a deal worth coming back for.
