The breakfast buffet has a wide variety of items and the food is well prepared. The staff is generally helpful and pleasant. The price is acceptable in comparison to other hotel food. I appreciate having a good meal before hitting the road. I was suprised more hotel guests did not take advantage of this service. More

My friend and I were looking for a place for breakfast that was close to the arena prior to a morning session of the US Figure Skating Championship. At first glance the breakfast bar seemed just okay but we were pleasantly surprised. Many of the items were commercial, but the variety was good and the unexpected delectable cheese blintzes were...

I try to avoid carbs but I cannot help myself here. I always get the annunciation wrong and call it la pasta to all my friends. This place is just so delicious! More

Service, atmosphere, and cocktails were very good. However, the food was lackluster. Good presentation, but definitely no party in my mouth.

I think tasting the pinot in the recipe helped. More
