    I only came here because I was lazy to leave the hotel. I ordered the margarita pizza and it was surprisingly good. Not sure about the other food but it looked like they had a decent selection of food and beverages

    My wife and I are vegan so we asked if the veggie burger contained any dairy, to which the server essentially threw his hands up and said there was no way to know ("we throw out the boxes they come in"). We ordered a salad instead without cheese and it came with a Greek dressing (not what was listed on the menu) that contained dairy. When we got the right salad it was good, just a very limited vegan menu (and lack of knowledge about said menu).

    In town for meetings.  Too tired to go out and decided to give the "hotel" restaurant a try.  Great selection of cocktails, ok selection of wines, but I did find a Franciscan cab that is a good stand by. Onion soup was excellent.  While the restaurant was packed, with only two wait staff, Sue was absolutely wonderful.  She was slammed, but smiled, laughed and took the time to offer suggestions and jokes. Thank you Sue for making everyone feel welcome.  Scallops were great, Polenta delicious.  Overall, a good experience, will eat here again when I come back.

    Had both dinner and breakfast here.
    Dinner was a Cobb Salad. My only complaint was it was in a tall deep bowl. I prefer salads in a wider shallower bowl so I can mix it up a bit.  The avocado and bacon was extremely fresh.  The salad had just the right amount of crumbled bleu cheese, although I forgot to ask for the dressing on the side and it was a bit much.  They offered wine in both 3 and 6 oz glasses.  I think that's great.
    Breakfast was great. They offer both home fries and hash browns. They have a Breakfast Buffet that is worth the 20.00.  They offer a variety of hot foods including waffles, French toast and pancakes made to order and an omelette station.  There was a variety of fresh fruit and organic yogurt.  The omelettes and French toast were both quite delicious.

    Filthy restaurant. Some staff were ok. Food meh.  If you're not staying in the hotel don't waste your time or money. If you're staying in the hotel order delivery if you can and if you just go well good luck...
