   It’s a beautiful restaurant, both the indoor and outdoor areas. The food is very good and is unique in the area.

   The food is always good (especially for hotel food). The dining room is pretty and the outdoor patio nice. Love the craft cocktail Violet Beauregard. We had breakfast, lunch and Happy Hour here during our recent stay.

   I recently visited this restaurant for Valentines and had a mixed experience. The service was excellent; the staff were friendly, attentive, they explained the menu options and they made me feel very welcome. The inside/ outside of the restaurant was very beautiful as well. However, the food was just okay. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't meet my expectations either. Overall, it was an alright experience wish the food quality was a little better.

   The restaurant venue itself is nice and has good charm. We went for valentines day so the menu was set, however still the staff did not seem like they knew what each dish was. None of the menu items were particularly good and things such as the shrimp on an entree were served cold. The water for the table was warm and had to ask for ice which felt like a bother. The signature cocktail of the night was pretty much undrinkable. We got one sip each and returned it. I will say that the wait staff, although young, were making a valiant effort, but it would appear that the management simply had not prepared them enough across the board. Even when asking for a wine pairing with the entree (keeping in mind there are only 3 entree choices), they had no idea what to recommend and even acknowledged that multiple items in the drink menu were not options anymore. Considering the location and quality of the venue, this restaurant is missing the mark on service, food quality and menu. Management has to step their game up.

   We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was pretty empty. Despite this, the restaurant did not seem staffed and equipped to handle our dinner service. The service was incredibly slow throughout the entire meal, and inadequate. Our mains were brought out at varying times (over ten minutes between the first main and the last main arriving) and our dirty appetizer plates stayed on the table the entire time and weren't cleared until we were done with our mains. Given the prices of the food, this service was not sufficient. The price is not justified in the experience you have.

   Food was mediocre.. however our server Jeff made up for the mediocre food. He was very accommodating and pleasant, felt like we were well taken care of. Wouldn’t come back for the food necessarily, but the ambiance, especially in the evening was great! I’ll be back for drinks!

    Our server was the best. I wish I could remember his name but he was very knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestion’s. We had a wonderful anniversary dinner.
