When I arrived for my 1:00 PM reservation, the restaurant was closed. As this was a business lunch that I arranged, I was quite embarrassed. The restaurant website said that it was open, but it clearly was not. If an establishment is not going to be open, do not allow potential patrons to make a reservation. Do not schedule lunch meetings at this restaurant.

Very disappointing for all of us, given the reviews. Maybe just tough night in kitchen.

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.

Great service and good location. Mushroom risotto was great but the scallops were way overcooked and had been recommended.

The staff was all very lovely! They changed the TVs to show the Euro 2024 game for me. When sitting for dinner, our server was super attentive, gave great recommendations and were generally really nice! Good atmosphere for a casual mid week dinner with friends!

Food was inconsistent. Everything labeled "truffle" didn't taste like truffle at all.

First time eating here and the food and presentation was perfect! Veggie burger with the seasoned fries was delicious! Flatbread pizza with figs was also enjoyed. Great live entertainment tonight, Nephrok. Great crowd of people. Service was busy but attentive as needed. Ambiance is perfect. So great to have this venue close to home!
