    Everything was fantastic, the service could have been a bit better in terms of removing empty plates and bringing new drinks. I will say they were very helpful and even recommended a great wine. Food was excellent.

    Easy seating, super attentive staff. A little tricky to find because it is IN the hotel, which isn't clear from the Open Table site. It was also incredibly dark. My husband is legally blind and it was impossible for him to read the menu and a bit of a challenge for him to see the food. I noticed other diners using the flashlights on their phones to read the menu. I know dark can be trendy, but it actually limited him significantly and if he had been alone he would have left or needed the staff to read the menu to him. I feel like that is excessive.
