We were 1 of 2 other tables. Our server seemed uninterested from the initial greet. Never brought us our wine until the manager stopped over to check on us, and we mentioned we were waiting for drinks. We were never offered water refills or small plates for sharing our apps.

Now that there's a fee for a room, but which comes with a $20 credit for the restaurant, I tried it for breakfast, and I have to say, it was one of the best restaurant breakfasts I've had in a long time--particularly the hash browns, which I often don't like at places. The service was fantastic as well, from the host who was about the nicest person ever to the wonderful server. I would go back, even without the hotel credit!
