Despite advertising a 1,000 point promotion, when you arrive they CANNOT access OpenTable app. The 1,000 point promise is a scam. Food is at best mediocre, service was friendly. Place was essentially empty. It is within an Hotel.

Great service. The pool and patio area are amazing. But do be aware this is in a marriott hotel property

Heads up: This is a hotel bar. This is not a restaurant (in the traditional sense). The food is ok, the service was good. Most certainly a reservation was not needed as it was almost empty (on a Sunday).

The only downside of this is that it’s not a sit down restaurant. It’s a bar in a hotel with food. I did like it overall. I’d love to do a staycation there someday and just relax.
