"Pretty decent overall experience. Our server seated us immediately on arrival and told us about the specials. We ordered a mid priced cab that was pretty good for the price point. We started with a warmed goat cheese with marinara, a very pleasant and light way to begin. We then shared a vegetable and wild mushroom risotto, a lamb special and a pizza. All food was decent, but maybe just a little short of really good but still decent. Our server did an excellent job and we left happy. Bring quality up a tad or the prices down some and it would be a four star review."

"A varied but not overwhelming menu with a wine list that offers a range of prices.
The service is good and at times the manager visits diners tables which is
appreciated. On days when there are few good dinner restaurants open this
is the place to go."

"I went here on the yelp review stating they had large portions for the buck. I had the lasagna. While the quality and taste was great. The size wasn't all that. As a matter of fact, the size was the same as the OSF which costs half as much. So this price per size is normal for a hotel restaurant. Overall it was a good dinner and I would go back."

"After reading the panning by the Bee reviewer we came over with a bit of trepidation
yet overall pleasantly surprised by this hotel setting. Most important, the
food was fresh, including fish and shellfish. The ambience is quite pleasant,
wines by glass or bottle reasonable and ample. All of our dishes were well prepared
and satisfying: seafood linquine, grilled salmon, braised chicken cacciatore style.
Entre's are a bit pricey, to be expected at a hotel, yet portions were generous.
We will definitely return.
I forgot to mention, take a table near the pizza oven and watch this guy toss it NY style."
