This is a perfect spot for dinner before a Hippodrome show. We told the waitstaff we had tickets and they made sure to get us out in time for the show! Excellent service and surprisingly good food for a hotel restaurant. We will dine here again.

Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
