I have been here twice now on a weekend night for dinner and live music and sat in the bar area up against the windows each time. The service has always been very friendly and attentive. Food portions are big, and tasty! Food is quite slow to come out, but worth the wait. I highly recommend the patty melt sandwich! It has a sauce on it that is so yummy, and the sandwich is enormous! I love that you can get a salad as your side option for no up charge. Have tried several drinks at the bar, and they've not been anything I'd recommend. The Bad Monkey is okay, quite odd tasting and definitely not worth $14. The Long Islands are in the tiniest class ever, extremely weak (which seems impossible since it's five types of liquor with a splash of soda). And they're $12. Everywhere they come in a full size soda glass, but here are there any very skinny glass. I definitely would not recommend those! They offer very few bottled beers, instead they are cans. They have musicians, but they're put in a bad spot in front of all the glass at the end of the bar, which has terrible acoustics unless you're sitting right there by the singer. But if you get a good seat, it's enjoyable. Will continue to come over here for music and food, just not drinks. The restaurant in the bar is large, with lots of seating and the ambiance and decorations are great. And they take...
Read moreWe had breakfast and dinner here during our recent stay at the Renaissance hotel. The restaurant offers inside and outside dining areas with a view of the scenic landscaping and ponds. The breakfast menu had many of the standard choices but also offered burgers in case you were grabbing a bite to eat closer to lunch time. We both got scrambled eggs with bacon, potatoes, and toast. Everything was perfectly cooked and the service at breakfast was top-notch. At dinner I got the fish and chips and my husband ordered a burger. The food was good but the service was a bit slow and inconsistent at dinner. We were there on a Saturday evening and there was live entertainment starting at 7:00 p.m. so we were able to enjoy the guitarist. On the other side of the restaurant there is a large bar area and there are lots of different seating options available in the main lobby as well as kind of off to the sides, so it's nice to have dinner and then move to one of the other areas to continue enjoying the music. It's also really relaxing to take a little stroll around the ponds and fountain area...
Read moreI've been to this restaurant a handful of times and can say my experience has been consistent each occurrence.
First of all, the bar/restaurant area is just gorgeous with all the windows and lighting. It is really a surprise since the hotel is tucked in a corner of a more commercial area of Westerville. It's worth it just to peak in.
Second - and I'm not normally a fan of hotel restaurants - the food is really good. I've had three different meals (steak, chicken, and flatbread) and all three were fantastic! The bar is very well stocked. It was surprising some of the whiskey they had.
Third - the service is spot on. They've found a consistent group of employees who really work well together. You never go long waiting on anything.
Finally it is fun to see the entertainment they have on Wednesdays. Quality every time.
It is a little pricey but the atmosphere and service definitely...
