The burger was regular. The price was too expensive for what i was looking for and I was seated close to the hotel entrance which made the ambience weird. My beer was from a bottle but they poured behind the bar without me seeing which I don’t like. The place is not bad though and maybe the more expensive dishes are superior.

Good food. Disappointing that the restaurant week menus specifically noted vegetarian and vegan options but when we arrived the servers told us that the menu was wrong, ended up working options out but not ideal.
