    We were a group of 4. The Caesar and crispy chicken salads were excellent with fresh greens and dressings. The fried cod dinner was also very good and there was more than enough cod pieces and brought some home. The server was attentive and lunch was served within a reasonable time, we weren't on a schedule or in a hurry. We will be repeat customers as well as try the dinner restaurant at the top of the Embassy Suites hotel.

    Food and drinks were great! Our server was fantastic! The only complaint that we have is when we arrived we were sat outside, which was fine. We asked our server if we could sit on the lower level for the better view. She told us that they couldn’t open that section due to being short staffed. Perfectly understandable! She said they might be able to open it up later. After the meal we wanted to stay and have a couple more drinks and noticed that people were beginning to sit on the lower level. So we asked our server again and we even said we will go to the bar ourselves and she wouldn’t need to check on us. She said that was fine! So we headed down there and another employee very rudely approached us and said we couldn’t sit anywhere down there due to all of the tables being reserved. How did it go from not available to anyone to being totally reserved as soon as it was opened? Didn’t make sense and that employee was NOT friendly at all.
