The food was not good at all. The drinks from bar were great. Our waiter Zack was great as well. The chicken strips tasted odd. The Mac and cheese for kids was spicy so granddaughter couldnt eat it. Burgers were fair. At breakfast we paid $1 each when we’re told was complimentary. Eggs were odd tasting, pancakes were coarse and overall was very disappointing. I hope the food can be improved as our hotel stay was great at adjoined hotel.

I made a reservation for 6 and was able to be seated before my reservation time, that's great preparation. Our server was friendly, accomodating, made great recommendations for the people that were first timers and accurately recorded our order. When a mistake was made on an appetizer, our server immediately apologized for the inconvenience and rectified the situation. The food was delivered timely, it was fresh and absolutely delicious. Definitely will visit again.

This is the second year in a row that we’ve celebrated our wedding anniversary and it was even better than last year! They greeted us with rose petals and champagne and a complimentary dessert. We love the ambiance, the customer service and the intentionality of the staff. 10/10 would recommend. Oh! And the food was delicious. My husband had lamb chops and I had the lobster linguine.

Great service and ambiance. My only recommendation is a lunch menu with lunch portions. The food is good but it’s the same menu for lunch and dinner so it’s a bit expensive for lunch.

You can't beat this place for pizza and fries. We had a Sunnyside Pizza, a cheese pizza, and a pepperoni pizza. We also shared the table frites and a beet salad. Everything was great. The wine and beer selections and value are top notch. Our server was really great. We used to eat at Bar Cento, so I am glad to see similar dishes in a totally beautifully redesigned restaurant.
