I think the bartenders are some of the friendliest and cute too. I usually end my day in the bar to sip on a martini or glass of wine. I have had room service from the grill and it was very good.

This restaurant was nearby and had decent food - nothing spectacular or requiring a special trip - but if you're looking for a decent leal at a reasonable price, this wll do the trick. In general a cut above the typical mid level hotel restaurant.

GREAT service, good menu selection, really nice atmosphere. I recommend you sit in the bar and enjoy the cozy armchairs / appetizers.

When our team goes here for breakfast the morning team is always so solemn. Other than their apparent lack of desire and low level of energy the foods and restaurant is actually pretty nice. I hear that it is great for dinner!

We had dinner at Birch River Grill with a group of 8 other people. My husband had a BBQ chicken salad, and a bowl of soup, which he said were both very good. I am a vegetarian, and the only vegetarian entree on the entire menu was mac & cheese. Since it was over 100 degrees outside, I ordered soup... More

Food is great, booze EXPENSIVE but that is what you get in a hotel bar, there are many others around so check them out. Bartenders were like they didn't want to be there. One was nice but I didn't get his name.

I feel the value is not quite there. A bit pricey for what you get. A groupon makes it worth going. If I return, I go for something less expensive such as the chili. It Does sound promising.
