    Fantastic evening at The Stinger, thanks in large part to our server, Eddie. He was attentive without hovering and made the whole meal feel relaxed. The grilled cheese and tomato bisque was the standout: rich, comforting, and a perfect pairing. We'll definitely be back.

    A great restaurant in a fantastic hotel. We’ve eaten here before and came back because the food and service was so good. When staying in the hotel, the stinger bar is great food, service and convenience.

    Friendly and attentive hostess and server. Enjoyed the creative cocktails. Shared the $38 lobster roll (pretty good) and the $52 steak frites (steak was not very good at all...should have just had the burger). Would return--and probably stick to bar fare.
