    Food and wine selection very good and the ambiance very nice as well. Service was ok. When we were seated the restaurant was mostly empty and we were guided to a table that was within a foot of another couple. We asked if we could have a table that was not so close to others and we were seated at another table. We were given menus and when the waitress returned, we started to order and some of the requested items were not available on the menu (Brussels sprouts, italian dressing) . I think it would be helpful to let the customers know what is not available on the menu when the menus are given. Also, we asked to share the salad that was given and very small plates a little bigger than the size of saucers were given to us. These are little things of course but worth noting.

    This is a hotel lobby restaurant. Wasn’t clear until we arrived. One of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. Would not go again.

    Last minute Valentines dinner while traveling- we were glad to get a reservation. The good was very good quality it was just a lot over the top with sauces. The shrimp and burrata appetizers were great, the soup and Caesar salad were great, both the filet and steak frites had way too much sauce but both pieces of meat were good and had a good flavor. The only thing that was bad was Valentines dessert which had a very strange flavor and we didn't eat. We had great service.

    Overall a very good experience. Service was great and they accommodated special requests for our picky 10-year old. Appetizers or small plates were quite generous. Hostess and server were very pleasant, friendly and attentive. Located right next to hotel lobby but it didn’t seem to detract. It added to the open-air atmosphere.

    The food and drinks were good, but the ambience is odd. The restaurant is right within the lobby of the hotel, without any separation, which negatively impacts the experience and is noisy.

    Filet was really bad. Sent it back and still bad. Roasted chicken was too small and over cooked. Lamb chops were ok at best.
