   What a hidden treasure! The restaurant is in the Sheraton Fairplex where we stayed. It is an incredible Farm to Table restaurant with organic items from their garden on the premises. We literally just ate every meal - breakfast and dinner - every day at the hotel. Their Patty Melt - a 10/10 - the best I've ever had. The breakfast menu was fabulous as well. Because it is just a "hotel restaurant", I probably would have not tried it, had I not been a hotel guest. But this place is WELL WORTH going to - even if you are not a hotel guest. For organic farm to table items, it is absolutely fabulous.

   Food was not good. The chef prior to Covid was great! It was very overpriced for very sub par food. Even my salad was brown and wilty.

   They took a reservation for 12pm, but didn’t open until 12:30pm. The food was good, but $31 for a salmon salad. The waitress was sweet and did her best, but we had to chase up are food order.

   THE BAR DOESNT OPEN UNTIL 2 PM SO YOU CANT ORDER A COCKTAIL OR EVEN A GLASS OF WINE. I cant believe that a huge hotel/conference center like the Sheraton doesn’t open a bar until 2 pm! How shortsighted - They would have covered their costs with the wine & cocktails we would have enjoyed during lunch. We watched others walk out and we should have too. The restaurant was empty. The food was good and the service was fine but we won’t return.

   The Farm Dinner was an experience to savor. Dining right in the middle of the Fairplex farm with melons, pumpkins, and all the other vegetables as your Vista and being served by experienced staff was only exceeded by the fabulous 5 courses presented by the chef.
