    The food was surprisingly good! Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and mentioned they’d like to come back. Atmosphere is on the casual side but the food isn’t typical fried or basic food. Well done! We’ll be back.

    The ribeye was perfection. I've never had asparagus cook so well before. The drink from the bar was excellent, not weak. Our server was on the ball and very sweet. My only complaint is with the dessert. We shared a peanut butter pie. It tasted very little of peanut butter, and more like Styrofoam. The texture was very gelled. It really was awful. But everything else was spot on. Highly recommend ( not the pie).

We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the peanut butter pie. We appreciate your honesty and will certainly look into this matter. We're glad that you found everything else to be spot on and we hope to see you again soon for another round of the ribeye and our bar selection!

    Amazing dinner tonight! First off, Jamie Lynn was AMAZING as a server. She gave good suggestions and was so personable. 10/10. The food was DELICIOUS as well. We loved the bacon and shrimp stuffed jalapeños and mahi. Only regret is not ordering one of everything because we were watching other people’s foods coming out and it all looked great too. Will definitely be back!

    I have eaten here before and it was good so not sure what was going on but: 1. all of our food came out at the same time Appetizer/salad/dinner 2. it was ALL COLD, charbroiled oysters were very cold inside, would not have ordered them anyway since they came with our cold food. 3. Waitress like never stopped by hardly at all, however when I did complain the manager gave us a couple pieces of dessert, I would have rather had a good meal or some cost taken off. I would just avoid this place, it is a hotel restaurant and NOTHING special, better off going to any of the other local places.
