Food was good and thee price was reasonable, the service was so-so. The restaurant only has one uni-gender restroom, the hotel has restrooms but it has code and it was difficult to find someone to give you the code. Also, the restaurant host told us to ask the hotel font desk for parking validation and the hotel front desk people said no the restaurant should do it , so at the end nobody validated our ticket and we ended up paying a lot of money.

They have a new prefix for lunch that’s $35. I thought that was an excellent price. I ordered the prime rib sandwich, which was $28 by itself. The prefix gave you an option for a salad then a choice of one meal of which prime rib sandwich was one of them and then a choice of donuts for dessert
