| - Went there for a post-Valentine's Day Dinner - had a great experience! Maybe it was the lower expectations (it is a hotel restaurant) or perhaps we were looking for a Sunday meal, but we had a very good experience.
The room is nicely decorated, although it's a little odd that the windows face the resort hallway. The ambience is contemporary and low-lit, but suitable for kids in a pinch.
Overall the service was superb, perhaps the best part of the meal. Our waitress was full of energy, gave great suggestions and was attentive without being smothering. Plates were cleared on time, service was prompt, and even the bus boys were cordial.
Regarding the food - while the menu is a bit limited in scope (leaning towards the steakhouse and sides concept) there is enough to satisfy both meat eaters and fish eaters alike. We both happened to order fish (the seared salmon and the scallops and risotto). Both were excellent and we agreed that the high point of both meals was the truffle-infused risotto that came with the seared scallops (amazing stuff). My other favorite was the polenta "fries", essentially a crispy shell containing creamy polenta that is infused with pecorino romano and truffles. Unbelievable comfort food (I could have had that as my meal).
Wine list is good, but pricey - we found some good less expensive options but be prepared for a heavy price tag if you order Cabs. Deserts were good overall but not as creative as the menu reflects. However, the popovers that come as your bread course are sublime!!
In the end we both give this a thumbs up and look forward to coming back for the brunch, which multiple people have said is spectacular!
