    料理の味はとても美味しいけれども サービスがめちゃくちゃ 。ワインがの継ぎ方もわからない 。最後にはレシートを30秒おきに持ってくる。 雰囲気ぶち壊し 。とても美味しいのにもったいない。

    This little gem in the Raddison hotel is so wonderful. Michael was such a great waiter. The sangria was delicious and so was my avacado toast. Others had eggs Benedict and pancakes. All yummy. Such a great find!

    Great food and drink. Service a tad too slow during part of meal, but server and manager very apologetic so couldn’t ask for more.

    It is a good hotel restaurant. We had ribs, elote, and mussels. All were fine, but not standout. Ambience was nice, but not a lot of character. Waitress was lovely.

    Very attentive and food was amazing. Pork belly was crispy and fresh, mashed potatoes were soft and rotisserie chicken was also soft and juicy.

    We enjoyed Happy Hour drinks and food. The music was, however, extremely loud and unforgiving.
