What a hidden treasure! The restaurant is in the Sheraton Fairplex where we stayed. It is an incredible Farm to Table restaurant with organic items from their garden on the premises. We literally just ate every meal - breakfast and dinner - every day at the hotel. Their Patty Melt - a 10/10 - the best I've ever had. The breakfast menu was fabulous as well. Because it is just a "hotel restaurant", I probably would have not tried it, had I not been a hotel guest. But this place is WELL WORTH going to - even if you are not a hotel guest. For organic farm to table items, it is absolutely fabulous.
