| - I have dined here twice and enjoyed it both times.
The first time, we sat at the bar before seeing Zarkana. It was a busy night and the service was a bit slow, but friendly. Not a big deal - we planned quite enough time before the show and weren't in a rush.
We shared everything:
Garlic Knots ($6): Great portion and huge knots. Really tasty.
Beer Mac 'n Cheese ($12 - half order): Again, good portion size and really good - the prosciutto is a nice touch.
Chef's Selection Charcuterie (6 for $28): I know it seems pricey, but man was it worth it! They were not stingy with the meat/cheese and we actually got to choose the 6 we wanted. We went with both Burrata and Buffalo Mozzarella, as well as the Humbodlt Fog. For meats we had Mortadella, Soppressata and Prosciutto. Everything was really fresh and SO SO good. i would definitely order this again and it was perfect for sharing.
Finally we got the Gotham pizza ($28): Also pricey, but we both really enjoyed it. It had pepperoni, salami and sausage.
We ended up with way too much food and were stuffed. They also have good drink specials - I thought the prices for the beer/shot combos were really good and they have a great selection of beers.
The 2nd time I dined there, I just grabbed a quick slice from the slice counter. The great thing is that the counter is open until 3 AM on Fri/Sat. It was just $5.95 for a HUGE slice of pizza and it was really good. This time I got the "Forager," which has whitesauce, mushrooms, bacon, whipped ricotta and spinach. I've been dreaming about this slice ever since.
Overall, it fits a certain "niche," it's connected to the Race & Sports Book and can be considered a fast casual experience. Or you can grab a slice on your way back to your room - both are great options. I'll definitely be back soon!
