"Really bad hotel restaurant. The carpet is warn and black, the whole place looks really shabby. The staff are rude or indifferent, especially to people dining alone, which in a business hotel should be pretty common. Would NOT recommend at all."

"Healthy, healthy and superbly presented. The vegetables were so fresh in the appetizer we selected and our crab & shrimp cake combo was incredible as our main course. It is our favorite kind of food--real food with excellent flavor and healthy.
We had two children accompanying us. Both ordered the pancakes and hot chocolate which they enjoyed. The chicken sausages were a little spicy for children."

"I'm typically wary of restaurants in or attached to hotels. I've found that even in upscale establishments, the food is often sub-par. Great Street was definitely not in this category. The decor is wonderful, the wait staff superb, the river view phenomenal, and the food fantastic! Began with a long island ice tea---perfect blend of liquors. Then we had the goat cheese appetizer---DELICIOUS! If I hadn't been so excited to try other foods, I would have ordered a second! Main course(s) were day boat scallops and grilled salmon (respectively). The salmon was tender and moist and amazing. The scallops were perfect and very obviously fresh! We really wanted to have dessert, but were far too full from all the other delicious food."
