We started our meal with excellent cocktails. Well-made and delicious. I had the kale salad as an entree. The dressing was so good. My husband had the salmon. Very moist and the accompaniments were interesting and tasty. Josiah was our very accommodating waiter. Nothing we asked was too much. He even had an adffogato concocted for our dessert. The restaurant is bright and airy with a fun ambiance.

Very quaint and comfortable. Very convenient to guests at the hotel. We just had appetizers and wine but the dinners being served looked very good.

This is a newer restaurant at a new hotel so they seem to be working on things. But, they were out of 2 of the 5 deserts, the artichoke lacked flavor, the burger tasted microwaved and they brought us to go cups when we ordered coffee with our desert. We had to ask for porcelain cups and pour our coffee. For this type of restaurant, I expect more.

Food was mostly delicious but service was just atrocious. Wait staff were serviceable but completely overwhelmed. Our family of four had a reservation for 6:30 pm on a Friday night and it took two full hours for us to get through dinner with no appetizer service (the appetizers we ordered inexplicably came with the dinner when it finally came). When we arrived at the restaurant most of the tables were empty, but they wouldn’t let us sit at any of the tables we wanted to sit at because they said they were reserved. We said we had a reservation, but that didn’t matter. However as other patrons arrived without reservations, they were allowed to sit wherever. The wait staff were just overwhelmed - I think there were three guys for the dining room, bar and pool area. Who is managing this place? At one point we waited 30 minutes to order a drink. We tried to go up to the bar and order one but never were able to get the bartender’s attention. Every step of the way it was hard to find our server or really anyone to help us. When we could finally flag someone down, it would then take awhile for any request to be fulfilled. The food (when it finally came) was almost all great. Kids meals (burgers and PB&J) were devoured and adult meals (cavatelli and steak) were delicious. Only bummer were the mashed potatoes were cold and flaky, almost like they were from a grocery store. One final note: they were out of a ton of stuff on the wine list. Not a big deal, but annoying when you’re trying to order.

The server was very nice and attentive, but not a high end server at all. This is solid hotel food at best. It is far more expensive than it should be for the quality and quantity. The charcuterie board had about $3 worth of cheese on it. The portions were tiny. Also, we dined here for dinner and again for breakfast. A breakfast for two was $60 with no alcohol. I’m from the SF Bay Area and am quite used to high prices but $18++ for yogurt & fruit?! Also, at both meals, we were told that several main dishes were unavailable because the kitchen was out of ingredients.

It wasn't obvious when I made my reservation that Sunday was buffet, only. $65 and hardly worth it for normal breakfast options. The tri-tip was good, cool baked potatoes, generic Mac and cheese, plus squash. We did get a free mimosa for Father's Day....😳

We were there for the Mother’s Day brunch, which was a disappointment… much of the food was cold, or lukewarm at best, and they were slow to replenish… the ambience was nice and I’d imagine for a regular meal it would be quite nice. However, we would not do the buffet brunch again
