    We originally planned to eat inside, but when we saw their patio, we changed our minds. It was very nice sitting outside. We had a variety of appetizers and entrees, and everybody raved about how good everything was. It was very easy to get to the restaurant since the hotel is on the shuttle bus route. So everything worked out very well, and we all agreed that we would come back next time.

    The prices have gone up beyond our pain threshold. The burgers are all $29 before any extras. Sitting on the patio is a delight and the service was very good.

    Skip this place even though they’ll have reservations available. I saw someone post that you should go to Red Lion instead and that is spot on. Food was mediocre at best and it was way overpriced. On a busy Summer Saturday the place couldn’t handle the crowd and no one knew what was going. My $18 cocktail came out half full in a sticky glass, they ran out of food that was recommended and the burger was about as good as McDonalds down the street.
