    This is a fantastic eatery with great food, long bourbon list, and great staff. We came in the middle of the week, so it was a little slower, but it was a fantastic experience. Appetizers and dishes are great with a number of fantastic options. The hotel and eatery have a great feel and personality. We spent some time out at the bar after which had great seating, drink options, and an attentive staff.
