    We were out of town for Thanksgiving and The Helmway was wonderful. Great dinner, very kind staff, and very reasonable. A little gem.

    We had dinner and returned the next morning for breakfast. Service was excellent, super attentive. We had scallops and lobster ravioli, restaurant partners with local producers, meal was delicious. Pleasant space to eat, not loud or distracting. Highly recommend.

    Breakfast buffet was basically identical recipes to what you would get at a low category Hyatt for free, not worth $40 for two

    Great place. Servers were super friendly, place looked clean as a whistle, and the food was delicious. Ask about the rubber ducks!

    What food we had was good, however the amount of food for the price was not worth the money. Will not be going back.

    Unfortunately the food was disappointing. Bland brussel sprouts, and they were out of French fries. My burger was good but very small and mostly bun. My husbands $38 steak was four finger length strips of meat that was lukewarm. Service was good and our server was friendly and attentive.
