Service was really bad. Couldn’t honor reservations. Food had no flavoring. Took an hour to sit down even with a reservation. Terrible.

We made reservations through OpenTable for the Sunday Brunch. We arrived at our time and were greeted by the host, when we gave our name she rolled her eyes and said “Oh, OpenTable huh?” Then she went on to say that they really shouldn’t be honoring the reservation cause OpenTable messes them up, but I guess we have to take you. At that point we decided to leave. On top of that, they did not offer the Sunday Brunch that is listed on their website and menu on OpenTable. Very disappointed and will not return. If you don’t want to work with companies, don’t treat customers poorly.

The restaurant insisted we didn’t have a reservation. And it got worse from there. Lunch turned out to be a “brunch buffet” - at 1:30PM - that ended at 2 (?!?) and the buffet was pancakes, eggs, make your own salad, and some greasy salmon and chicken laying in a bath of oil. Nothing from a “steakhouse” menu. Dinner the night before was barely passable with an okay pair of crab cakes (for $62?!) and a tasteless steak and tiny overpriced sides. I understand that a convention hotel attached restaurant is likely to be overpriced - that wasn’t my first concern - the poor food, insulting “brunch buffet” and ridiculous prices and careless service make this a no-go.

Food was nothing special and not very hot. Service was awful, waiter kept skipping us. Did not feel very welcomed. The prices are ridiculous for what you get. The same steak at local places for cheaper are better cooked. Dessert tasted off like it had gone bad.

Server MARK was excellent! However, Kitchen never started the food ticket. Waited 2+ hours for food to come out. Manager came over after 1.5 hours and offered a salad (which we already had) or to box the food for us to-go. He NEVER came back over to ask if everything was cooked alright after it finally came out, or to apologize before we left. 2 hours before food is served is UNACCEPTABLE for a place of this “caliber”. Mark the server was apologetic, accommodating, and kind, much more professional than the joke of a “manager”.
