They also charge for Benefit Surcharge. Tell me that upfront, not when the bill comes. Not cool. Won't be coming back

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.

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!

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.

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.
