Two of us ate in the bar, and the bartender and waitstaff were attentive, but not overly. All was very nice except my duck, which I requested medium rare, came fully cooked and tough. Not wanting my dinner partner to wait on me and eat a cold meal, I didn't send it back, but I should have. Ruined an otherwise nice dinner.

The food was very good… well prepared and nicely presented… Our waiter Henry was extremely polite and pleasant … he was efficient and attentive even though the restaurant was quite busy… the ambiance was pleasant.. soft lighting and quiet background music… the table setups and decor were adequate but perfunctory… Overall a very good hotel restaurant!

Avoid at all costs. I don’t complain, it’s just something I don’t do. This was my first experience for which I was compelled to complain in my 52 years on this planet. Just go somewhere else - anywhere. Anywhere would be more value for money. Simply awful.

I thought the food was not good and for $100 per person to not even have espresso or pancakes for a mothers day brunch seemed a bit surprising. I would not return

For the price charged I found this brunch to be very poor. Many items way overcooked, shrimp was frozen not fresh; slow service as well. Music way too loud, couldn't carry on a conversation at the table at times. Would not go back.

Another tremendous, special meal at this exquisite hotel restaurant. Our server was gracious and helpful, especially with helping to surprise my wife with birthday surprises. Each of our starters was delish: cheese plate and seared tuna. Our entrees complimented each other so nicely: gnocchi and duck breast. The chocolate tart and tres leches tart blew our minds, and they provided a third, complementary tart so all three of us had something special.

Charges an auto gratuity for even a party of one. Service rather surly and didn’t understand how to check in an OpenTable reservation.
