    Overlook is a good place for a quick bite. I would not go there if I was looking for a nice meal with an interesting menu.

    It was really nice. Although shortstaffed, the waitresses did their best to make sure we were accommodated. The food was absolutely delicious. We will be returning!

    I was there for a conference and decided to eat at the hotel on Wednesday. The macaroni and cheese was amazing! The server was very nice and it was a pleasant experience.

    Convenient for a pre-concert meal. Not too crowded when I was there. Excellent service. Chicken BLT was just OK.
