    Just stopped in for some late night appetizers. The Mainland Sliders, Fried Ravioli and the Cheesesteak Egg rolls were all delicious. Always great service. The Valentine Pop-Up Bar is a festive addition and decorated beautifully. I just wish the live music would go past 9pm.

    We had a fun meal with a great waitstaff. Our server, Holly, was swift and thoughtful. The food was good. The restaurant was very crowded, yet the service was good. We went early on a Saturday night, and it seemed to be a very popular spot for families. We asked to sit in a quieter area and were seated in a section on the side, kind of outside, in a nice warm space…. Until kids of all ages came in and out, bringing toys to their parents, unsupervised with frigid air, we found out there is a gaming room across the path at the hotel. Our waitress did offer to move us, but we opted to wear our jackets.

    New Year’s Eve was enjoyable. Nice brother duo entertaining. Food was regular menu, which was great vs. pri- fixe offered by many competitors and food was just as good on any regular night, considering there was a large crowd.
