The salmon was a little overcooked, but everything else was so perfect. Atmosphere, cleanliness, and service. The waiter was attentive and polite. The food presentation was exceptional. Great background music and perfect lighting make a romantic setting. The modern-day decor gives this restaurant a unique vibe.

Chicken enchiladas and butter chicken flatbread were delicious. The service was great, and their recommendations were spot on. Definitely a place to revisit.

This hotel and bar is the best. The service is beyond reproach. The bartender and all the staff are superperb. I'm hard to please and I was sceptical to visit and stay in Waco, but this property surpassed expectations. Alex and Kenny B. were so friendly and engaging. Will definitely return to this hotel. I felt like I was on a mini vacation. This experience far surpassed expectations. The room is clean and the property overall is immaculate.

Yesenia is the best! She is so welcoming and kind. We didn’t realize the time, and she never made us feel she needed to leave. 🩷 Gest old fashioned maker.

I got the pleasure of meeting Isaac, he was super friendly and offered to clear away our plates for us so we didn't have to! This is definitely a great place!
