We were seated by the window, which gave us a great view and made for a wonderful atmosphere. I had the Molly Cosmo along with the Prime Rib Dip, and both were delicious! Our group also ordered the chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, the crab and Parmesan dip, and the pork chop with mashed potatoes. Every single dish earned a 5-star review from our table! I don't remember our server's name, but he was originally from the Los Angeles area if that helps identify him. He was fantastic, friendly, attentive, kept our drinks full, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a place we'll definitely be coming back to. 5/5 stars!

The bartender was very knowledgeable and walked me through their extensive beer selection. Many of the beers leaned Belgian, which is just not my style, so I cannot really rate those, but it was clear they know their beer. I ordered their take on a shrimp po boy. It was different and fine, but not something I would specifically seek out again. Overall, a decent spot with good service and a strong beer program, especially if Belgian beers are your thing.

The hostess spoke my language and escorted me right to my table. She made sure it was cleaned off and let our server know I was ready to eat. The best part about it all is it was a late-night reverse happy hour from 9 PM to close, only Thursday-Saturday. My server was very sweet and friendly. She took my drink and food order all at once. I like the ambiance this place brings, compared to all the locations I think this is my top. Me being traditional I ordered hot water ( the bulb is so posh), California roll, spinach artichoke dip, and the flatbread. Everything costs me around $40~

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately it was a miss…read more I started with the beet carpaccio, which was actually enjoyable. The portion was fair and the ingredients felt fresh. The vinaigrette leaned very citrusy, which overpowered the dish a bit, but I couldn't help thinking that adding some goat cheese would balance it beautifully and elevate the whole plate. Then came the pasta bolognese... and that's where things went downhill fast. The ricotta was completely flavorless, the meat was tough, and overall the dish lacked seasoning. It was honestly one of the most disappointing bolognese dishes I've had. One more thing that really stood out: the interior has carpet flooring. In a food establishment, that feels deeply unhygienic and off-putting. 1/5 stars -- a strong start with the appetizer, but the main course and overall experience completely missed the mark.

They have a pretty good selection of beers and of liquors (I presume wine, too, but I didn't check). While there are "bourbon bars" with a wider bourbon selection or "gin bars" with a wider gin selection, they have an above average selection of each, and they don't charge absurd up charges for choosing the liquor you like. The bartender is very polite. There's ample seating at the bar, and you can also take your drink to some loungy-er chairs in the nearby part of the hotel lobby. All in all, a solid bar.

You walk in and the bar is to your right. It was about 6 and no one was at the bar. There was a group of guys discussing something over drinks in the lounge area but that was about it. The bartender came right up to my boyfriend and I. I told the bartender my boyfriend had never been to Texas so we tried out essentially every tap by sampling which was nice that he offered that up. After we tried each beer we decided on some options. The bartender went back to texting in the corner and we sat at the bar listening to the music playing in the open concept lobby/bar area We eventually took over the seating area that group was in because the couches looked more cozy than the bar. The happy hour advertised is not a thing anymore, they now have reverse happy hour from 9-10. The beers weren't too expensive as our tab was only $13 which I doable. The bartender disappeared from the bar for a fair amount of time which made me anxious because I used to be a bartender, I guess he trusted we wouldn't leave without paying. He didnt come check on us to see if we needed another beer but that was ok I guess. I went back up to the bar to cash out and that was that. This bar is good for a quick drink but I wouldn't probably go for a top notch bar experience.

Unbeknownst to me, it had only opened a couple of days earlier so I was one of the first guests at their lovely restaurant, Kleo. I had planned on only eating there the first day, as usually hotel restaurants are over-priced and underwhelming. This can absolutely not be said for Kleo. The menu is creative and uncomplicated with just enough options to be interesting without being overwhelming. Many of the items on the menu were vegetarian or able to be adapted to suit, delighting this plant-based foodie! Because the team and menu are so new, the sous-chefs and F&B management were eager for constructive feedback and very receptive to my critique. There was only one dish that required that though and the team comped me for the meal, even though I did not want them to! Everything else was a delicious taste journey with well-balanced texture and flavor in unexpected combinations. The service was exemplary - Fernanda, Elexa and Christian were particularly wonderful and attentive. I would write down everyone's name, but cannot recall them all! I will add descriptions on each of the dishes separately because they were fabulous and creative, inspired by the sous-chef's own family recipes and heritage.

Three times is not always a charm…read more After having a great dinner experience during the first visit, we tried a mid-week happy hour. Even though it was nearly empty, the bartender at the time seemed very uninterested in working. Even the manager who was so friendly the first time, giving us a tour and inviting us back, seemed uninterested in the guests. Thinking it was "just an off night" we tried again. Service by the bartender was much more attentive this time, albeit slow--the kitchen's fault, not hers. While she seemed to not know much about the menu--all questions had the answer of "I'll have to ask the chef"--she was friendly. No more Gigante Bean soup? What?!? That was a main draw! Place was pretty dead. Even though we were not hotel guests and they were aware of that, we were also charged a 20% service charge "for room charges only" that was calculated against full prices, not what was paid for happy hour. Hopefully that went to the bartender since nothing more was added. What started out as a place I was recommending to locals after my first visit, now just feels like any other hotel restaurant / bar where they feel they have a captive audience and don't have to try as hard. Unfortunately, "three strikes you're out"--we will not be returning.
