Stayed at the hotel and decided to try the restaurant for 1st night. I wanted someone light, yet healthier so I went with the chipotle shrimp with salsa and corn cake and went with a side of collard greens to round it out. Those collard greens looked a little different from what I cook myself and then I took a taste. Of my, they were perfect. A good bit of heat and that sauce. My my. I enjoyed the shrimp and the corn cake was okay. The salsa was a good balance to the heat of the shrimp. I am definitely going to get more greens before I leave for home.

Met a friend here for happy hour and all I can say is: The bomb! The drinks were really good, the food was diverse and tasty. It’s located in the perfect location and even has a rooftop. This will more than likely be one of my new favorite happy hour spots.

The staff is fabulous with LeMar (bartender) the best ever. He reads everyone perfectly and yet everyone with a few minutes feels like being at with friends and family. The manager Charo is amazing to watch. Her smile is infectious. The food, wow the food is amazing! I could have gone anywhere to eat each night of my stay, but I could not wait to try another wonderful dish from this amazing restaurant. The chef is amazing. This is a he hidden gem! I will return every chance I get!!!

Came here for a Yaymaker/Paint Nite event. The restaurant is in the hotel, up the stairs on the left. The space is clean and the people are friendly. During our event, staff members periodically came in and looked at our works in progress. Our drink server was also efficient amd humorous.

Loved the sweet tai chilli wings more than the chipotle. Loved the staff. Felt like family. Environment was modern. Loved it

Vegan pea soup, decent drinks. Friendly bartender who checked up on what is vegan there & shellfish contaminated. Friendly bar.

For a hotel bar, they offer decent lunch choices and friendly service. A bit pricey, but that's expected here. Tell Lamar I sent you. 😉

Very nice prices. The menu was just a little limited, but the food was good. It was my first time there.

Go there for happy hour sometimes after work. Drinks are ok. Not a huge crowd.
