    Despite advertising a 1,000 point promotion, when you arrive they CANNOT access OpenTable app. The 1,000 point promise is a scam. Food is at best mediocre, service was friendly. Place was essentially empty. It is within an Hotel.

    Heads up: This is a hotel bar. This is not a restaurant (in the traditional sense). The food is ok, the service was good. Most certainly a reservation was not needed as it was almost empty (on a Sunday).

    The only downside of this is that it’s not a sit down restaurant. It’s a bar in a hotel with food. I did like it overall. I’d love to do a staycation there someday and just relax.
    The Way StationResponded on 18 June 2024
