We had a very long day traveling and being in a meeting all day. We were staying at the Wyndom Hotel (where the reastaurant is located) and it was great not having to drive anywhere. I usually shy away from hotel reastaurants but this was definitely the exception. It is known as a steakhouse but it had a very good... More

The large soup is enough for two people to share and comes with bread. The balsamic butter served in the evening is phenomenal!

Fresh and tasty food. I highly recommend the Wild Buffalo Burger. The frutti di mare linguine is also excellent. The breakfast buffet is OK.

Ate here one night when staying at the hotel. A colleague had told me steak was good, but had warned me off other items on the menu. Steak was good, service slow and a bit 'old fashioned' I don't know but the whole hotel did have a retro vibe to it! I ate out my second night - heading my... More

Had the fish special, sea bass. Sorry to say it was the worst I ever had in a tangy but inedible sauce. The ice tea was even bad. There were plenty of tvs to watch the Olympics and maybe the burgers/sandwiches were fine, but would not travel to this restaurant if I had any time. Certainly don't go with the... More
