    It was pretty empty when we went, 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon, so the noise level was low.

    Typical hotel bar. The chips and dip were very underwhelming. Smallest “scoops” of dip i have ever seen.

    The hotel itself (paper they give you at check in, signage in the hotel, the Hyatt website) has one set of times, and the the staff get to make other own. If this was a mom and pop restaurant and not a corporate environment I would understand. We made reservations here on open table and were rudely messaged saying last call was at 9:45 despite having reservations available until midnight on the app and everything in the hotel saying 11. When we came in within the window told to us BY HYATT we were met with god awful service and servers talking smack about us within earshot. Food was decent tasting, price point is what you’d expect from a hotel restaurant in the area. But you can have a totally different experience at a high end restaurant at the UTC mall for the same price. Kind of soured me on Hyatt forever.

    Had the Thanksgiving Special..Food was dry and not warm. Service was great. Wish I would have gotten something off the regular menu.

    Staff were friendly and food was great! Manager stopped by the table to check on us and apologize for food taking longer then he’d like but we didn’t think it was an issue in the first place.

    We took my 18 month granddaughter to dinner. She enjoyed the live music and the food. We did order an appetizer that arrived frozen which was odd, so we sent it back.

    It was fine for a hotel restaurant. Service was slow and the food was fine but nothing special.
