During the course of the night, they got 1 other table & a few take out orders. There were 2 people working the restaurant - the owner who was cooking & a kid who doubled as a waiter & dishwasher.

At about 8:00 or so, I was the only customer in the restaurant, which I found unusual. I was seated by the host, nice guy, and then the server came by to take my drink order. The wine I selected was very good!!! Then I ordered the Falafel. It came shortly after and looked/smelled wonderful!!! What happened next truly surprised & disappointed me!! The dish came with a wonderful sauce, but no Pita to sop up the sauce!!!! When I called the server over and said that was very unusual, she asked if I wanted Pita. I said of course, otherwise this great sauce will go to waste. She then told me the pita was an ADDITIONAL $5!!!!! I still wanted the pita, but SERIOUSLY!!!! $5 for bread that should AUTOMATICALLY come with a dish that has a sauce!!!!! Talk about "nickel & diming" your customers!!!!! That error in judgement cost the hotel a few meals, once I spread the word to my family/friends that were also there to celebrate our nephews!! Other that that, my weekend at the hotel was STELLAR!!!! The event was catered flawlessly, the room was excellent, too!! I would have liked the Valet Parking to be more reasonable, as $45 per day seems steep, given not many alternatives. All in all, a very nice weekend....next time I stay, I'll be dining out, though!!! Oh, the staff at the Front Desk were EXCELLENT, during Check-In & Check-Out. RANT OVER!!!!
