Not a great date spot. Food was mid. Being in a hotel kind of kills the vibe. Best thing here was the decorations, candles, and setup for Valentines Day. Service was not bad.

Not impressed with the service here. There are only a couple of options on the drinks menu for wine by the glass per type of wine, although plenty overpriced choices for full bottles. As an individual business diner staying at the hotel on a quiet night, they were out of the only decent wine option and did not offer to open a comparable bottle from the menu as a replacement. They did pour me a generous portion of the lesser option which really wasn’t good! After finishing the OK meal, this hotel restaurant did not have the ability to charge to the room, which is very inconvenient. Overall it was just OK, but given the price point of this mediocre offering, I wish I’d taken an Uber to somewhere better nearby.

The menu online was not the menu offered when we arrived. Although the steak was cooked to order, at $42.00 the cost was a little steep. The lasagna spaghetti was listed on the on-line menu (it was wonderful the last time I had it) it was not on the menu when we arrived. The seafood salad was excellent. The crab dip was good but a little salty
