   Heads up, this is a Marriott hotel restaurant. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have booked it. We got the cheese and meat charcuterie boards and they were both marginal. The service at 8:00pm on a Friday night was awful- only one person. The drinks were good but overpriced- wont be back.

   Went for Valentine’s Day, and the experience was mediocre. Everyone at the restaurant was dressed up like they were the manager, but no one seemed to know what was going on. There weren’t even that many guests, yet after waiting over 30 minutes, I had to call someone over to take our order. Our appetizer was mistakenly served to another table. It sat there for a few minutes while the guests, confused about receiving two items when they had only ordered one, called the server. The server took the dish back—then simply brought it over to us. When we pointed out that it had been on someone else’s table, they took it back and replaced it. The rest of the service was just as slow, and the food’s taste and quality were underwhelming. The presentation was nice, but that was about it. Overall, it was a very basic experience—nothing special, unfortunately.

   Unfortunately our waitress (lady) took forever to bring us water, the dessert menu, check on us. It was our wedding dinner celebration. The food was great the service was 2/5 stars

   The Valentine’s Day menu was a bust. Food was way overpriced for its quality. My fried oyster was ice cold and not only was my fish cold, but it was completely raw and still had multiple sections of bones in it. Unfortunately the service wasn’t much better, as we never saw our waiter again after the appetizer round. Our waters never got refilled, until after we had to flag someone down to ask for our check. The only redeeming part of this dinner were the drinks and the desert. Hopefully they do better on a regular night with their standard menu, but I don’t know that we will ever be back to find out

   When booking we didn’t realize the restaurant was in a hotel so walking in was a bit awkward, there’s no distinct entrance other than through a side door from the outside or through the lobby. There’s no hostess stand or anyone to seat you so you just find a spot and sit. Pros: Impressive wine list, I was surprised to see some of the more prestigious wines from Napa on there. Service, the manager got our wine right away and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made some great recommendations when asked. Food, came within 10 minutes of ordering and everything was the proper temperature. My one complaint here, some of the pieces of the baguette for the Burrata had a huge hole in it so it was difficult to get a bite from that one. Just a details thing that could have been prevented. But overall the flavors were great and everything was plated beautifully. Dining room was neat, clean and decorated nicely. Cons: Nobody to greet and seat. Ambience was a little off. It was really brightly lit but there’s probably not much they can control being a part of the hotel lobby. Overall I was impressed with Chef Han and his staff. This could easily be a stand alone restaurant and they would knock it out of the park. I think being in a hotel does the food a bit of a disservice, they weren’t as busy as they should have been on a Saturday night with how good the food was and the level of service. We enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back.

   My meal was presented beautifully but didn’t have much flavor. The broccolini starter was cold and the salmon, though well prorated, was without flavor. The service was fantastic and the ambiance would be great for a date night or quiet gathering.

   This is the epitome of a hotel restaurant. Zero vibe or ambiance. Somehow how subpar service even though there were only 2 other tables. The bread they served was not even luke warm and the butter was frozen. Burrata was okay. Gnocchi was very good which is why this is 3 instead of 2 stars. Definitely would not recommend dining here

   The wife and I came in for Restaurant Week. First time. Were looking for something different as were going to eat steak the next night. The 1/2 Rotisserie chicken came recommended. I've never eaten a half a bird in one sitting so I was a little shocked when it was recommended but when the server, Matthew, told us that it sells out, we just had to try it and brother, let me tell you, I have never had a more succulent bird in my life. My wife and I BOTH order the 1/2 chicken and had to pull up from eating it all that night.
