Cornelia the restaurant manager and her staff were excellent with us., they are a credit her and themselves. The restaurant was better staffed than most I have been in recently and very attentive with their service. They know how to look after my parents needs and that of young families alike. I would be pleased to have them work with my business. Thank you

The tables were in need of varnishing for a 4-star hotel. We started with a Caesar salad, but the croutons were greasy and there was a strange taste to the dish. The main course was steak, but it was overcooked and tough. The garlic potatoes were also greasy and had the same burnt taste as the steak. We complained and were offered complimentary tea or coffee, but it was still a disappointing experience. The food and service at this 4-star hotel were disgraceful. We will not be returning.

The prices are reasonable considering the portion sizes. We have tried the set menus for special occasions such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, and have been impressed each time. We are now looking forward to experiencing their Christmas menus. Additionally, we have attended weddings at this venue and the food was outstanding. We even stayed overnight at the hotel for one wedding and the breakfast was delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant.
