I had someone underage with me so we couldn't sit in the lounge, which was fine. They sat us in the dining area away from everything else. It was kind of hard to find, as we had to seat ourselves. Someone came in to help us fairly quick. We ordered the crab croquettes to start. Zero crab flavor, or any indication there was supposed to be crab in there. Zero flavor and dry. I thought I was eating a Long John Silvers hush puppy. The sauce they had with it was flavorful. For the main course I had the cauliflower steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli rabe. The presentation was very nice, but I was expecting a slice of roasted cauliflower as the menu specified, not 5 little florets with a bit of seasoning arranged in a half circle. The potatoes were tasty, but not worth the $26 price tag. My companion ordered the kids meal pizza, which was a frozen cheese pizza with again, zero flavor other than cardboard, and fries-high were really good. We got the lemon mascarpone cake which was absolutely amazing. We were staying at the hotel and were going to order room service for breakfast from here, but changed our minds after the subpar dinner and went somewhere...
Read moreI enjoyed hanging out at this bar while waiting for my friend's birthday party. The atmosphere was really cool, and since we had a room at the hotel, it was very convenient. I was pretty hungry and ordered the calamari, chicken Caesar salad, and French fries. You would think that given the classy, upscale vibe in general that the food would be superb. Unfortunately, there was hardly any calamari on the plate, and the pieces that were there were quite rubbery. The Caesar salad was just okay—the chicken tasted like it came out of a can, but the dressing was pretty good, and the lettuce was fresh, so I didn't complain. The fries my friend ordered were pretty decent as well. I had a Red Piano drink as did my friend, which was so good, just absolutely delicious, and we also tried a bourbon specialty drink that was good, I can't remember the name of it though. Overall, the place has a great vibe, with nice lighting and friendly staff. The bartender knew her stuff and did a great job mixing the drinks. I would recommend going here for drinks and hearing the piano, hanging out at the tables, people watching, ect... just don't waste your money...
Read moreLively bar area at the hotel with alternating musicians throughout the weekend. As a result, the bar can become quite loud and busy, and due to the limited seating available, you can find yourself without, however, you could take your cocktail to the lobby area where there is additional seating. For a bar at a relatively higher end hotel, I found the booze selection and cocktail knowledge of the bar staff to be underwhelming. The offering here were very basic in nature, and based on the crowd the location attracts, is fitting. Overall, it is a decent bar with live music which is generally a plus, regardless of the fact the music selection was subjectively not that appealing to visitors from outside of the area. They do not have modern payment acceptance technologies which led me to charge everything...
