    We were guests at the Omni Hotel and heard the restaurant was good so we decided to make the reservation. The food was horrible!!! The food was overcooked, poorly seasoned and practically inedible. Service was good;but the waitperson wasn’t “confident” about the menu items.

    The Afternoon Tea was most delicious! Two people in our group needed special care because of their food allergies. The Omni Wm Penn chef and cook staff went all out to accommodate us. The best part was Robert! Robert was our waitstaff and he was an absolute delight! He was polite, personable and made sure we had everything we wanted. I hope to return.

    Great food. Placed order off menu and the food was great. We were in the mood for salmon and filets for party of three.

    Food was delicious but was surprised how few were dining here on a Saturday night. Not enough servers so food was slow to the table. But our servers did make sure we weren’t late for the concert (although there wasn’t time for dessert or coffee).

    The Terrace Room is one of our favorite destinations. We were extremely disappointed with our visit tonight. We had difficulty making the reservation and confusion when I called to clarify. Additionally, we were presented with menus that we weren’t supposed to have. I ordered vegetarian parpadelle and was served a different pasta. We did not have time to send back our inferior food with a curtain call to make. Our server offered no adjustments except to tell us the chef was handling an event upstairs.

    The food was nice but very selective. Not much to choose from at lunch. The service was impressive.

    This used to be a nice place in the nineties. The food, services and ambience used to be great.Today the food was tasteless and took so long to serve so that we skipped dessert .No wonder the place was empty on a Saturday night. I should have learned from the previous reviews and not come here.The menu had few selections for a restaurant of this caliber. The only positive experience was a polite and courteous server.
