The Commentary

"We have been coming to this hotel and restaurant for many years and always find the servers friendly and very attentive to our needs. The happy hour food is so reasonably priced and very tasty. My favorite is the crab dip. The only complaint I’ve ever experienced is that the cantaloupe in the morning buffet was past its prime on only one occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"The ribeye was perfectly cooked, the beer excellent, and the server attentive. The grilled veggies were well seasoned and cooked correctly. Worth the price."

"❗BRUNCH❗ The crab avocado toast! AMAZING! It's not an a piece of bread though, it's on pita bread, but honestly that worked better than I expected. All the flavors worked so wonderfully together. So worth trying. The steak and eggs were great also. Tender with a yummy sear. The fried eggs were probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant."
