    I believe our server's name was Sashika or something like that. A lovely human being that was so thoughtful about the service she provided...super! The drinks were spot on. Food was good for a hotel restaurant in particular.

    I thought the service was a little slow this morning, but we ultimately had a very good experience today.

    My wife and I ate there for 5 straight days, to include breakfast and dinner. Between the both of us we had almost everything on the menu. And almost everything was over the top greasy. The breakfast eggs and tea were the best-tasting items on both menus for me. All waitresses and waiters were friendly and helpful for what to do around town. We were on a tight schedule so I did not look hard for a better place to eat breakfast but we did eat elsewhere for some dinners. If I stay in that hotel again I will not eat in The Main Kitchen because the food looked good but it did not taste good to us.

    Waitstaff was very unfriendly. I had a hamburger and fries, which tasted delicious. However, the food was so salty that I consumed gallons of water to quell the thirst.

    Waitress was great at first but then everything took a long time. The last drink came with dinner while everyone else had them at apps. A kid came in screaming and even though the restaurant was rather empty, they put their table right next to ours. Food was delicious .
