Michael the Maitre’D and our server were wonderful. Attentive to the groups experience. Drinks and food all were very good. With one exception, the veal saltimboca was lacking. Nice time for daughter’s birthday overall.

While waiting for our comedy show, I grabbed a bar seat and a cocktail. The bartender was attentive, engaging and professional. Decided to skip the table and eat at the bar. The food was surprisingly very good. I recommend their 'knife and fork' fresh ceasar salad. Individual pizza is fresh, can definitely be shared. Thank you for an enjoyable evening in a hotel restaurant.

This restaurant is in the middle of the lobby of a hotel. As in the seats are in the lobby. The food was ok. Reviews were great but perhaps that’s for a hotel restaurant.

Appetizers were good. Main courses came out cold and not very flavorful. Drinks were so-so. Parking on a Friday night in the Hyatt parking lot was awful. There are better places to eat. This is a typical restaurant found inside a hotel.
