I ate here before a concert at the Allianz Amphitheater, which is a few blocks away. I stopped in…read morearound dinner time and was able to grab a seat at the bar. The staff is friendly enough, and I was able to place an order quickly. The draft beer selection is really impressive, and they offer a variety of beer styles (not just two dozen IPAs and a light beer option). Where this place fell short was the food. I ordered the Chesapeake Fish-n-Chips, and it was pretty good, but not great. The portion size was good, but the fish was a bit overcooked, and they didn't include the dill pickle aioli that was supposed to be included. I was finally able flag down a server to get it for me, but it took several minutes to arrive. I wasn't offered ketchup for my fries and ended up borrowing a bottle from someone sitting near me. The fries were good though. I had planned to order a dessert, but the server wasn't around. I ended up flagging down someone to ask for my check so I could get to my show. The place was a little busy, and I felt like they didn't have enough people scheduled. All-in-all, I enjoyed the meal and would come here again.

We usually don't eat at restaurants inside hotels. However, an exhausting week and lack of desire…read moreto get back in the car led us to try this place out. Chuck was presiding over a mostly empty restaurant at 5pm on a Sunday. He happily described some options and was so enthusiastic about some dishes we thought, "What the heck?". My companion had the best burger of the year. My steak was perfect. The shrimp cocktail was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed exactly what we hoped for..after a few days of dubious food. If you visit here, ask for Chuck.

It's a holiday inn, so would one expect much?…read more I went to the restaurant because I was staying at a nearby hotel. It was very cold outside with rain turning to sleet. I did not have a car, so I decided that I would see with the holiday and had to offer as far as food. I honestly cannot comment on the quality of the food as I never got any. It may be very good for all I know. After waiting for a minute or two at the hostess station, I was finally seated. They are ironic thing was no one was there and I was told to pick any table I want, which I could've done that on my own anyway without a host. I was seated and noted on the menu, that there were no healthy options. Any chicken on the menu is either Friday or covered in cheese. But, it was cold, I'm from Florida, and the choices were this, or the Wawa gas station down the road. Then the weight began. And I waited, and waited. I was in the bar area and it seemed that the bartender who did have at least five customers at the bar was also responsible for all of the tables. if anyone else was supposed to help out, I never saw them. And I waited... I finally decided that the Wawa gas station was the way to go. As I got up the bartender did notice me. she seemed genuinely distressed that she, nor anyone else had actually noticed me. Mind you I was only about 8 feet away but I do not necessarily blame her as she did have a bunch of people at the bar plus all of the tables. I had already decided that the Wawa gas station would be my choice so I did get up and leave. Again, I'm not angry with her as she did seem very distressed about my predicament, but my thought was, why reward Holiday Inn for poor organization and poor service? I don't took off into the wind, was stinging freezing rain hitting me, but, at least I knew that the Wawa gas station would provide service and something at least close to what I wanted. Again, the food at the Holiday Inn maybe very good, I just never found out if that was true. NOTE - It was touch and go, but I did survive the walk to the Wawa and back to the hotel.

I asked for sour cream and didn't receive any. I asked the man that was dropping our food off about it but he just walked away. A few seconds later a woman walked up and very sternly said - who wanted sour cream? I was thrown off by her tone and body language and was ready to leave even moreso after being told with a finger point to go over there and ask for more ice, in the direction of the bar when I was a dine in guest. Kind of good food depending on what you order but be ready for attitude, hair bonnets and lots of visible staff under belly...

They have a wide variety of tap beers and some ciders , big fan of the down east blueberry pie cider! For my main meal I got there ny strip steak and it was cooked to the correct medium rare temp. Unfortunately the "quality" of the meat was lacking, the meat was a bit tough and not tender as I'd like from a NY strip.

The server who was apparently assigned to my table might as well not been in the restaurant. She…read morewas very slow in acknowledging my presence at the table and was not even apologetic about that even when she arrived to take an order. I had in mind a specific pilsner but was told it was the October fest version. I sampled it and ordered the pint version. I told her she could take my order for the item selected and she did so. In the interim she prepared a drink or another person at the bar and ultimately served my beer order. Now I can enjoy a casual experience but this had become a career by now. Not one effort to expedite And get that beer in front of me. Before she runway I told her I was ready-to order she disappeared to address a new customer at the " bar".. After waiting several minutes for her return I finally ask another server to take my order for which they did and within a reasonable amount of time the order was delivered to me. All this transpired while my assigned server was jawboning with the guy that had set at the bar some minutes earlier and now this guy became her dedicated concern. She took the next several minutes ( plural ) talking to this guy ignoring the rest of the bar guests including myself. I finally found the guy that usually works as a bar keep to take my dinner order, for which he did. My other arrived and was pleased with it all. The server returned to my table for which I advised her of this absolute terrible service and the best she could do for me was to get the bill so I could leave. If this were my bar this chick wouldn't last one shift or less. Moral of this episode is don't allow this bitch to punish you while trying to spend your hard earned money in their joint. AMEN !

Chris the manager, Cat and Kate who work behind the bar, wait staff, Sophie, Destiny and Luke, excel at their jobs and go out of their way to make customers like my my Steve and me feel welcomed and valued. The food is tasty. My Steve and I have tried the sandwiches and pizza. I prefer the Sliced chicken panini with mozzarella and the turkey while my enjoys the beef burger. The California Club is a mutual choice. We have both tried the Margarita pizza and I love the salads. We are both dessert lovers and our mutual favorite is the Nutella mousse. It's like eating mousse and chocolate covered cherries simultaneously. And my favorite brunch item is the French toast. The problem here is the kitchen staff. They consistently get our order wrong. We were there on Friday and we both ordered the California Club. My husband requested that the bread be un toasted. He had to send it back because you guessed it the bread was toasted. Then mine got sent back because I ordered no aioli and got aioli and the cook forgot to put the avocado on my sandwich. There has been at least one occasion where the breakfast sausage has been burned beyond recognition. I am giving five stars because with the exception of the sausage the food is delicious. When we finally got our orders prepared right on Friday everything was tasty. We also find the atmosphere calming. Eating outside is peaceful. I close my eyes and pretend my husband and I are at an cafe in Paris. The interior is large airy light filled space and tree branches are intertwined on wooden surfaces. The kitchen staff just need to pay closer attention to the way people order their food.
