Not good. Advertised local ingredients, etc. Tasted like the run of the mill. Fish was over cooked and had little flavor. Seating was terrible - when asked to be moved from beside the set-up area, was moved to behind a pillar. They need to do more.

We had a wonderful experience this time as well as every time we have been here. The service was great, the food well presented. I feel the best hotel restaurant you may find anywhere.

Was there a couple of time for lunch recently and noticed that the food is good and the service is prompt but not very friendly. Saw chef Zanella coaching the host at the podium at noon---I thought the chef would be in the kitchen at the busiest time of the day, but had to admit that the limited social skills of the host required the chef's attention. Food is very good, Italian-inspired, with nice Midwestern touches.

The pasta dishes and risotto are outstanding. And the nightly specials are reall generous -- such as the Saturday evening choice of several wines at $10 per bottle!
