   Date night the weekend before Christmas. This hotel is one of the signature locations in downtown Allentown. We are in Allentown often to visit family. It's been a few years since we stayed at this hotel. The Dime bar was cozy with beautiful views of the city and decorated for the season. Staff was friendly but should be trained better, talking and giving instructions from across the room during food service should not be a thing, wine list day of our visit is sub par, food was underwhelming. Stayed away from the short rib with the recommendation from the staff that it was not made that day. Chili lime brussels with bacon was good. This place could be great with management raising the standard for their food and service. This hotel is in the heart of the city and a perfect spot for what should be a high end dining experience. Shared the experience with Family and their response, "What did you expect. It's Allentown." I hear that often when we look for a dining spot in the downtown proper area, but it's sad to hear. The Dime for dining was just okay. I recommend getting a drink though at the bar to check out the views.

   Our server was excellent. Items on the menu not available. Candles not lit on the tables. Just feels worn and not maintained well.

   Ambiance and location are great. We had a salad, Brussels, and burrata appetizers. The spring rolls we wanted were already sold out. The Brussels were great, salad was good, but the burrata and the items on the tray with it had no flavor (minus the crostini- which was very crispy and tasty). The service was slow as far as getting another drink and waitstaff coming back to check on you, but the food did come quickly. It’s rough on a show night for staff and I think people get that. So I’d say it’s what you’d expect with a better than average atmosphere.

   The food was terrible, everything was greasy. This is the third time we have eaten here (out to convenience) to see a show and this will be the last. The restaurant was not busy so I would expect some attention to detail and basically everything we ordered was not good. The server asked how everything was and I gave her my honest response that it was not good. The response I received was "I am so sorry, can I get your check" To which I paid my entire bill and threw all of the food away. If you are going to run a restaurant with the look of a higher caliber then perhaps you invest in a chef?

   Everything was delicious, though maybe a little underdone on the potatoes or runny on the polenta.

    Lovely place. I love it. My only recommendation is to extend the menu.
