It is a good hotel restaurant. We had ribs, elote, and mussels. All were fine, but not standout. Ambience was nice, but not a lot of character. Waitress was lovely.

We enjoyed Happy Hour drinks and food. The music was, however, extremely loud and unforgiving.

Overall it was good. Only thing they had a valentines day special that was not mentioned when I made reservations. I would have loved to have ordered it. Awh by the way, I requested a dozen roses but I did not get them. Outside of that we were satisfied and will definitely go back.
