    We enjoyed our dinner. Great onion soup. Main courses were wonderful. We had Banana Foster for desert. Service was excellent.

    Our waitress was lovely. I had a delicious bowl of butternut squash soup. My salad was ok….kale was a bit wilted and there was too much dressing-it was tasty, but smothered the greens. Glass of wine was reasonably priced.

    Our family of five had a great dinner with delicious apps and dessert. Drinks were good too, esp. the Mule. Our waitress, Kato, went above and beyond with service and interesting conversation. She was a real asset to the whole experience. Five stars all the way!!

    I enjoyed eating at Ghostlight Restaurant. Cato, our waitress went out of her way to anticipate every need. My salmon was undercooked at first and I was provided with a whole other filet on top of the original one that they finished cooking.

    Food was good. Online menu is not correct. The pretzel came with a very yellow cheese, not brie and the steak pricing online Is wrong. Our server was absolutely terrible. Had to ask for bread 3 times. Had to track her down to order and get our bill. Hopefully next visit will be better.

    I was disappointed with this choice of restaurants. It was partially under construction and was a mediocre hotel restaurant.
