This is not a true restaurant. It’s in the lobby of a hotel. And the food was not the best. I’m glad I only ordered a salad.

Food was good, service was good. Poor bartender was the only person doing dinner. The restaurant is the lobby of a hotel, and the my done seem to check open table. The bartender was surprised when we showed up as a party of 5 for a reservation.
