    My boyfriend and I had a great dinner last night. Meatballs, pork belly,shortrib, pasta, and a chocolate parfait for dessert. Service was good, attentive without intrusive. It’s a beautiful space and the seating was very comfortable. Many hotel restaurants are not that great but definitely recommend this one for a great dinner.

    Great staff, nice ambiance, good food! You could give a bit more calamari for the price point! We ordered mocktails, very underwhelming! Overall great food!

    Disappointing experience. They were out of short ribs. Took our orders for KC Strip steaks with horseradish cream sauce. Forgot to tell us they were out of horseradish cream sauce when we ordered so brought A1 steak sauce. How does a restaurant that takes reservations run out of horseradish cream sauce? Literally one of the easiest sauces to make in a kitchen.

    While the restaurant was beautiful and the staff was kind. It was extremely packed for Saturday brunch. There is not enough seating for people who are waiting for their tables and the bathrooms were very disgusting. I got the short rib hash which was very bland and had more veggies than short rib but the drinks and the monkey bread were delicious. I’d come again but only for dinner.

    Wonderful as always! The new menu is carefully curated by their new chef and leaves us wanting to try all the dishes! We will be back soon.
