The food was absolutely delicious! There were 8 of us so we had different choices - waffles, pancakes, omelette, corned beef hash, crispy bacon, fresh fruit. and even hot steel cut oat cereal. We loved everything we ordered!

Food was well priced and fairly good. Very limited menu to choose from for lunch. Bar was only serving wine and beer when we first sat down at 3pm, that seemed strange to me since this restaurant is in a hotel. I would have liked more attention for drink refills, but all in all, I would probably return.

Some minor flaws in the service: I ordered my salad dry with dressing on the side, but received it dressed. Not that big a deal but FYI otherwise I thought service was good and food fine I think both of ordered slightly the wrong thing.

Our waiter was so experienced and good at his job. The veggie burger was a homemade blend and delicious. Bar looks well-equipped to make even complex drinks.

Everything was pretty great. Only thing for us is we needed an early dinner. So we made a reservation for 4p. First issue was we had planned for dinner. But at 4p, they were only offering lunch. So had to get alternatives from the menu we planned on days before. Second there must've been a shift change shortly after 4. We had a female waitress till 4:15. Then a gentleman. No big deal on the transition. But it's hard to rate them together. The first one was not great. I wanted a decaf coffee and she said there wasn't any made. No offer to make some. As soon as the second waiter introduced himself later and said he was taking over, I asked for a decaf coffee. He said no problem. And he came back fairly quickly with a great tasting cup of coffee. So the first server was a 2 star at best, not just for that issue. The second server was terrific. In fact we have a 50% tip in the end for our table. So all I can say is service is hit or miss there depending on who you get. Or maybe because she was ending her shift. That along with 4p still doing lunch, I'd definitely recommend not going there at 4! Otherwise food was terrific all around including dessert.
