It was our first visit, but it will definitely not be our last. We arrived for a family reunion and wanted a comfortable place to hang out with our family members. Since we were staying at the same hotel, we decided to take a chance on eating in the lobby. I thought it was going to be just “meh,” but boy was I wrong. The service was outstanding and the food & drinks… amazing! Everyone made us feel like we were the only ones in the room. Well done!
