Vegetables were from a frozen package, mashed potatoes tasted like from a package as well. The ceasar salad also felt like one from a package at a restaurant stop or airport. Nothing tasted good or cooked from fresh ingredients. They tried to seat us in the room with the bar surrounded by large televisions and we requested to be in a room with no TVs so at least the ambiance was nice. But wouldn’t recommend the food
