Good food and great service
Enjoyed all the staff, food is good and they have a good selection of drinks!
Went here for a wedding after-party at roughly 11:30PM and they were very accommodating to everyone who showed up sporadically until last call for the bar. Darlene and Alex took really good care of everyone despite them being on the tipsy side. Good people here, and while I can't speak on the food since we didn't have any, highly recommend …
Great dining experience last night, it was busy with a hockey group but staff took care of us promptly and checked in on us several times. Food was very good, burger came out a perfect medium, onion rings & fries were great.
Staff was polite very comfortable and food was great. Drinks weren't to.bad really enjoyed my stay I would definitely come back.
Didn't feel like going out so I hit the hotel bar. Was pleasantly surprised. Beer was ice cold and the chicken sandwich was actually pretty decent. Not bad for a quick bite if you don't want to leave the hotel.
I've been there a few times thought.It was great Alex the bartender was the best he made a great drink. Kept us happy the whole time. I'm also a bartender and he asked if he could do anything better.I said absolutely not. Good time
