| - We were travelling from out of town and met a friend here for dinner. We happened to be staying in the Marriot, which is where the hotel is located, so we couldn't have asked for a better location. Very hip, open design. The restaurant was comfortable and spacious, and our server was spectacular. The cocktails were excellent (their pressed cocktails are something unique and flavorful, served in a French press). We ordered the pretzel brioche (excellent!) and the cheeseboard (good, but not worth the $30 price tag) to start. Our friend had the fish of the day, and we had the chicken and the pork shank. Everything was beautifully presented and very flavorful. The corn and potato sides were also delicious. The only thing I might say is that at a lot of other restaurants at this price point, the portions are small (which I have no problem with...quality over quantity), but usually there are some type of "sides" included that make it still a complete, albeit small, meal. Here, the portions are small, but for that price no sides are included...everything is ala carte. That's really the only criticism I can think of. Other than that, this is another great example of an establishment that is destroying the old negative stereotype of the "hotel restaurant" that was so prevalent even ten years ago. Farm to fork, ingredient-focused, and innovative cuisine. We'd definitely stop back.
