    Food is always great. Prices are so expensive but I understand inflation is a real thing. The restaurant added a 4% living wage to the check which I thought had been outlawed (or banned) but I guess not?!?!

    Good food, congenial staff, grand room for dining, lively but not boisterous or too loud. Families couples young folks all comfortable in a family atmosphere. Chef host always visible and often stops by to greet his guests. I brought out of town family and they remarked the pork chop was the best ever, including their home state Texas. That is some compliment from a Texan! Thank you for another memorable meal.

    Didn’t expect a hotel restaurant to be anything other than OK. Surprisingly, Tolay had great food, a good wine list, and the service was super. Despite looking under-staffed, our waiter couldn’t have been more responsive and warm (Adorable and easy on the eyes, too). Highly recommend the wagyu burger on brioche, and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Us locals are starting to find this place too!
