   The food was very good, from the shrimp caesar salad to the surf and turf. No complaints.

   Took more than 45 mins to get salad, hour and a half for entrees. Server hardly ever checked in, drink refills were almost non-existent.ambiance was no different than any other hotel restaurant, other than the trophies at the front door nothing was reminiscent of football or said this is Shula’s. Food when it arrived was not well seasoned and half of it was cold.

   Good day Meg, I'm sorry to hear that your experience was not amazing. We will discuss with our team to ensure proper steps are followed with every guest, every time. Additionally, we will spend time with Culinary, all steaks are to be properly seasoned.

   Hadn't been to any Shula's in 20+ years, was excited to return as I've always had tremendous meals there. Not sure if this was due to the fact that this location is in a hotel vs. stand alone but was quite disappointed. Service was great, super nice people. But the food just wasn't what I remembered. Steak was mediocre, didn't have lobster tail available, scallops were dry and essentially uneatable. Even the fries were overcooked and dry. Was ready for the exceptional meal that I've enjoyed there many times in the past and left truly disappointed.

    Our server was knowledgeable but the food was way over salted. There were 6 of of dining and four thought their food was too salty. One person loved salt and thought their food was fine. I asked if they could redo the scallops as, in my opinion, they were inedible, and was told there is a new chef and they would not reduce the salt even at my request. Based on that, I’ll not go back there.
