    It was a nice experience and the food was very tasty. The portions are small and limited. I thought they would have more variety of food. Specifically the seafood entrees. I suggest to ask exactly what each packet brings before reserving and prepaying for it. Also when prepaid reservation the tip for the waitress is automatically included and paid for. I didn't like that because the service was not what I expected and the waitress didn't really do a great service. I thought I was going to receive a bottle of champagne with the reservation I made because it states one will receive a brut champagne. It is only one flute that was provided. So basically I paid $25 for one flute of champagne. It is a very small place. The "Top of the Hub" was outstanding and classic compared to the new restaurant that replaced it "The Beacon Bistro". Too expensive for the experience one receives.

    Excellent service, food good. Sat near the front window for more Spring sunshine. For lunch, I don’t generally want a dark space. I love the main dining room more for dinner. Can’t wait for the patio option!
