If it’s a game day weekend be kind to the staff if you are a walk in. We had reservations and witnessed the horrible treatment of staff by hotel guests expecting a table as a walk in.

Thank you for the kind words Kim. We work hard to ensure all guests are taken care of equally and we do appreciate the empathy you've expressed for our hostess. We look forward to having you back with us again soon!

We had a reaction to a miss in a shellfish allergy. We had to leave. We only had waters and app. Still charged for cocktails - which weren’t made and entrees. Talked to a manager and we were supposed to have check refunded on June 11th. No refund and no call back. Do not recommend!

Apps were pretty good, however, main course was poor! “Filet” was basically pot roast and the mashed potatoes were from a box…no taste. I’d go for tapas and cocktails but never for dinner…save yourself the money and disappointment!

Bravo! My husband and I came here for a date night, and everything was spectacular! Excellent service and delicious food! We had Brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and salmon as main course. All excellent! Gary is a great server. We will definitely be back! 💯

We had a party of four for Valentine’s Day. The server was sweet and kind and trying hard, but it was clear management failed to adequately train her before throwing her in the lake to sink or swim. The menu was a single price, with two choices for starter, salad, entree and desert. Three of us were pleased with our steaks. However, the fourth person (my wife!) ordered the “Cauliflower steak”, which was no more than about $1 worth of a large piece of cauliflower, grilled crispy, with some cherry tomatoes. Her meal was over $60!!! It was embarrassing as a Valentine’s meal and date at one of the nicest restaurants in town. No chef in their right mind should send something out like that and claim it is anything more than what a first grader could do. Very disappointing considering our previous good experiences!
