Boyfriend wanted to come for breakfast. He had basic eggs, bacon, toast and salad (upgrade). I had the burger and fries. Not impressed. They also charge for Benefit Surcharge. Tell me that upfront, not when the bill comes. Not cool. Won't be coming back

I had a wonderful dinner with homemade gnocchis and salad. It was delicious. I still think that it was a bit small (and I'm not a big eater) and too expensive. But the food is definitely very good.

Came for brunch to celebrate a birthday, and the food was below par while the service was mediocre.Food: I ordered the eggs Benedict, which did the job, but nothing to write home about. The potato wedges that came with it were crisp and freshly fried, but completely flavorless (no salt) so I dunked them in the ketchup. A couple other people ordered the fried chicken and waffles, which were very sad. The waffle tasted like microwave eggo waffles, and the breading falls straight off the chicken.Service: It wasn’t super crowded, but for some reason, the service was super slow. Our server cleared half the plates when we were done and then just disappeared. But she did keep the coffee flowing :)Other: We brought our own cake, and they provided plates and allowed us to have it there with no extra cost, which was great!

Food was pretty good, but our server was really lacking. It took 20 min to get drinks, and then she left us for another 20 min without taking our order. They also brought out the wrong table's food, so half of us got our food while the other half waited another 10 min. We had to constantly track her down for things, such as refills and the check. Not sure if I can recommend.

We went for brunch. The food was just OK and our server seemed to lack some basic knowledge of the menu. It would be a fine place to go if you were staying at the hotel and just needed a quick meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there as a destination.
