We were with our niece who was staying at the hotel on a business trip. We went to dinner with her before my wife and I drove back home to Toledo, Ohio. The food, service and ambiance were excellent. I would recommend this restaurant highly.

Excellent crab cake appetizer, lasagna, and best chicken tenders in town. Generous serving sizes. Service friendly and competent. Happy hour in bar has good prices on well crafted cocktails. We had a martini with blue cheese olives, cab wine, cosmo, and bourbon old fashioned. All noteworthy. Bar was crowded with happy, lively patrons.
