"Why would ANYONE choose to eat here?! On a 1-10 scale, the food is a 2. You are visiting a city renowned for its incredible food, most restaurants being a 7-10 in deliciousness and creativity, locally sourced and seasonal! Get out of the hotel and eat at one of the 100 incredible options within walking distance and have a truly great meal! Even the free breakfast is gross… it’s better to go and pay elsewhere. You only eat here if you are trapped by a blizzard or held captive by Godzilla…and haven’t eaten for days. 2 stars because the servers are very nice."

"I went on a breakfast voucher. I was counting on them opening at 630am ready to go, but unfortunately only had a partial breakfast by 645am. The food was good though, and the staff friendly. They just need to be ready to operate at the hours they promise."

"Pretzel bites were addictive. Lauren was a phenomenal server, quite attentive. The eggplant was crispy, and the sliders made my kiddo happy. Had a Thomas Wolfe drink sent from the bar, and enjoyed it. So convenient and tasty while staying at the hotel."

"We were exhausted from eleven hours of traveling and decided to just eat at the hotel. We did not expect it to be absolutely delicious. The staff were polite and accommodating which we would expect. The menu selection was varied with chicken, seafood, and beef dishes. The Osso Bucco was wonderful. The meat fell off the bones into a rich sauce on a bed of perfectly cooked risotto. The portion size was large enough so my two companions could have a generous sample. You simply must order this dish when you visit this restaurant."

"The worst experience we have ever had. We ordered starters and one entrée, the entrée came first and the tickets were inappropriate with descriptions of more than half of our group of 9 people. The server is dismissive and not personable at all. The server also grumbled about seating us together and there’s no manager on staff at this time. We will be at this facility for 4 more days and will be letting everyone in our 300+ members of our conference."
