    Full disclosure: there was a class reunion happening when we stopped in for lunch. There was 1 wait person, 1 barback and 1 bartender. They were clearly all having a rough day. That said: the wait person was incredibly rude. They made it clear we were inconveniencing them by being there. We waited 20 minutes to have our order taken, and we found the menus ourselves, left on a table by the people who gave up waiting five minutes before that. The food, when it got to the table, was not the standard I would expect for the prices being charged. The asparagus sitting on top of the risotto was wilted and dried out. The onion rings were inedible and obviously came out of a box. The burger was greasy and served dry on a huge bun, and I only received condiments when I had the temerity to ask for them. I realize it's a hotel restaurant. That doesn't mean it can't be good, or that there shouldn't be expectations.

    Service was slow and rude. Food was no better than a 3 - all three dishes. If you see this, keep driving.
