    Great hidden gem. Service was friendly and prompt. Whipped feta with pita was delicious. Steak frites had the most yummy frites that were a new spin on the potatoes. Drinks were well executed. A lovely place for lunch or dinner with friends or a date.

    Nothing like the buffet used to be pre Covid. $42 for the food available and all basically tasteless was ridiculous. Had a better free breakfast at a much cheaper hotel this morning. Save your time and money and DO NOT EAT HERE. $100 down the drain. Won’t ever make that mistake again

    Arrived early and had a drink in the beautiful bar area. Lots of people, all different sorts. From formal wear to T-shirt & shorts. Reds game, pride parade and much more. We’ll be back

    The food was Continental quality at best. The selection was nothing like it was in prior years. The service was non existent. It took 20 minutes for the waiter to take drink orders.

    The hotel is still beautiful. The service was good. I was very underwhelmed by the size and variety of food offered on the buffet based on the price. I read previous reviews about a large seafood buffet but there was no such thing. Maybe it’s only offered at Easter or maybe not offered at all anymore? Regardless, it was fine but definitely not worth the price. There are far superior breakfast/brunch places around the city for less money.

    Buffet was over priced, but good. Hostess seating and wait staff were sluggish, but friendly.
