Great location though I’m generally not a big fan of eating at hotels. Food was solid. Had the shrimp for appetizer — nothing special, kind of meh. Entrees won’t disappoint. We had the flat iron steak and the salmon. Both were very good. My only complaint was that the menu was pretty limited by today’s standards. Service was good.
