Nice suprise

I had been here several years ago to see a band. It doesn't look like they have entertainment anymore. Small menu but the food is delicious. The wait staff is exceptional.

There are customers here folks

While the service was efficient, eating at the bar it seemed that they- servers, bartender, owner/manager, cooks - were not aware that guests could hear their conversations. The best was when the cook came out and yelled at the bartender for how she'd placed my...More

Hotel restaurant, needs a bit of attention to make it better

Went here on Wednesday night - was alone, wanted a good dinner. Had read some reviews, and while they wavered from good to not so good, it was close and had a menu with some items which sounded good. I was the only person in...More

Hotel Restaurant?

I usually avoid hotel restaurants due to overpricing for fair food but I took a chance tonight. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s small for sure but when you had a long day and don’t want to travel any further, and desire excellent food; this bistro...More
