Massive Room, large tables, good menu. Very good and happy staff.Not recommended for breakfast. Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was awesome. The bau bun appetizer is amazing. We were staying in the hotel and decided to give it a try. We were surprised. The atmosphere could be a bit more cozy and they could be staffed better. The resturant will be the reason we stay at this hotel in the future. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

We decided to eat here before attending a show and we were NOT disappointed! The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable with attentive upscale service.Since we had a long night ahead, we didn't want to stufd ourselves, so we decided to order 4 appetizers. Let me tell you that the serving sizes are amazing and the appetizers were delicious! The surf and turf nachos can easily be a dinner for one person! The chicken wings were HUGE and flavorful! I wasn't thrilled with the calamari as it was a bit greasy, but the Mediterranean plate was super tasty!We had breakfast the next morning, and I would 100% take a pass on the oatmeal. It was Luke warm water mixed in with instant oatmeal. The Krasinski, brown sugar, and almonds saved the day. We also got a Greek yogurt dish with fresh fruit, honey, cashews, and flax seed that was large enough for 2 of us to share. I'd highly recommend that!

The restaurant was extremely understaffed for a busy night . They had two people serving 12 tables and a full bar . It took an hour just to get our appetizer. By the time we got our food, we had to eat in a rush in order to make it to our show on time. People at the other tables looked just as annoyed and disappointed. We could tell the waitress was trying her best to keep up , but it was too much responsibility for one person.

This spot is a secret gem! We happened to be in the area stopped by after seeing they had a full bar cute decor. Our group ordered the Korean BBQ wings, steak Caesar salad, shrimp tacos and everything tasted delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful and peaceful, and the staff was very pleasant. We will be back again for the live music soon!
