    We had such a great time coming in for dinner! We noticed the hotel was sold out so we weren’t sure how busy it would be. We were seated fairly quickly and within a few minutes we had a friendly waitress great us. The food was great! It wasn’t too busy either. The service was quicker than I expected from reading previous reviews. We had a great time! Thank you!
