When we walked up and realized it was a hotel restaurant, I started to look for something else b/c typically, they’ve not that good. Loved the cocktail I ordered, Jade something, and the sable fish entree was excellent. My husband got the steel trout salad which was also excellent. Service was great.

The calamari was excellent, the other food was decent, I would recommend getting cocktails elsewhere. The dining room itself is pretty tired and needs a major freshening.

Our food and drinks came at a moderate time. Our entire party didn’t show up till 10 minutes after our reservation, though we did have a friend hold down the table and order our drinks prior our arrival. The food came out nice and hot and delicious. The ambience is very nice (tad cold though, wear sleeves), saw the table next to ours get a cute little fondue. Great location and happy hour is a great bang for your buck. The only downside was it was quite hard to track down our server. Wasn’t too attentive. Although few times she did come by she came with a smile :)
