   Waitress was nice Man delivering our food was rude and even yelled across the room to get the waitress’ attention. The food was by far the worst food I’ve ever eaten out

   The wait staff was incredibly friendly, especially our bar tender, but our waiter left halfway through the meal to go off shift and we seemed to be forgotten. The food was subpar for what I expected at a nice resort. The salmon was flavorless. The drinks were really good, though.

   Nice atmosphere. Spaces to sit and relax by a fire, pool tables and bar

   Let me tell you about my very disappointing dinner experience at the Lansdowne Coton Tavern (now renamed Coton & Rye), located in the lobby level of the Lansdowne Resort and Spa. I arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday, it was practically deserted but even so, the hostess was not available to greet new arrivals and I was seated by a passing waiter (that happens sometimes and I'm totally fine with that). I notice that it's really more of a bar that happens to have some food, but it's not exactly clear that this is the case. After being seated, I put in my drink order as I reviewed the menu. The waiter returned with my drink and I placed my order for the "cheesesteak egg rolls" as an appetizer and the "short rib stroganoff" as my main course. No water or bread was offered and my egg rolls came out drenched with the two sauces that were in the description but really should not have been mixed together - sweet and sour sauce and mustard. I thought they would be the dipping sauces that I could choose from, not swimming in both. But before I finished my appetizer, the server barges in and asks me to move the egg rolls aside so he can put down the entree. Now this was an interesting experience - hot steaming noodles with 4 room temperature cubes of short ribs and some cold beets. The description of this dish didn't mention the crazy temperature gradient as part of the "highlights" of the dish. I couldn't really eat this dish as it was really not well prepared - almost like a bad "Chopped" basket of ingredients put together by a 12 year old. To add insult to injury, the waiter forgot or didn't understand how to check me in on OpenTable and I received a "no-show" email while I was sitting in the restaurant. Needless to say, I skipped dessert. I won't be coming back.

   Don’t go during the holiday season. We were shocked to arrive only to find out someone was holding a party there. No idea if/how we’d still be able to dine there and had not been notified in advance. Also couldn’t find anyone in the place to help us so we left. Had really been looking forward to dinner. Had a much better experience at Piedmont’s.

   Great food, the steak salad and salmon salad were excellent. Our waitress was very patient with a table of 4 kids! Fireplace was nice and TVs were appreciated to watch football. Cozy and yummy!

   The food was decent, but the drinks were very weak (for $16) and the waiter was quite rude. It was a convenient but other than that, I’d skip it.

    A convenient option if - like us - you were to be staying at the Lansdowne Resort . Kudos for the drinks menu, including local draft beers and whiskies. Food was poor to average, very bland if decent in terms of portion size. The salmon burger was a particularly big fail. Server tried to be helpful but seemed inexperienced and not able to cope well with our particular requests and questions concerning food and drink options.
