    Mediocre steak with blue cheese crust accompanied by tolerable fries + dipping sauce.
    Josh M.

    I must say the service was solid for dinner (despite a hopping bar area), but the food was...meh. I used the Yelp coupon for group that garnered a free appetizer, but the buffalo chicken balls were dry, tough and were delivered with out ANY care for presentation. Considering they were free, I feel remiss stating such, but I also wish I had chosen something else or skipped it all together. I then moved onto a steak with fries which was also haphazardly plated. The stock pictures of beef tenderloin with asparagus is exactly that, a stock picture. This specimen was IHOP steak & eggs 2 AM quality, but at least it was covered with blue cheese. Can't tell you how bummed that mediocre meal made me feel, let alone getting my portion of the bill (w/ wine + tip was just about $50). Save yourself the mistake and drive a few minutes north to the Coopers Hawk next to Mariano's.

    Fried Chicken and Dumpling Pot Pie, YUMMY
    TS A.

    My husband and I were at the Doubletree for a week while he was on business. I was very much on an "escape my children vacation", tagging along with my husband. My main goal was curling up in bed to read a book all week. It was so nice to have a restaurant with good food attached to the hotel that didn't feel like bar food. I enjoyed the, Slow Braised Beef Brisket, Fried Chicken and Dumpling Pot Pie... twice !! Filet Mignon And a Beef Burger from room service. The first meal, lunch, I went down to the restaurant, I made it during operating hours. The hostess seated me at an awkward "for two" table when the place was pretty much empty, seriously just one other patron. I should have spoken up and asked for a booth. Aside from taking my order and handing me the bill I was basically ignored and never even saw the server to ask for a refill. Thankfully the Slow Braised Beef Brisket tasted delicious with plenty of gravy and I didn't need to choke it down with a drink. I decided to go back the next day because I did not want to drive in the snow and there were a couple other items on the menu that looked good. The second meal, lunch, the restaurant was closed but I was able to sit in the Spotlight Lounge and order from the same menu. The lady behind the bar was AWESOME (I really wish I remembered her name). I was able to sit where ever I wanted and of course chose a booth to get comfy in while reading my book. The Fried Chicken and Dumpling Pot Pie was yummy and my favorite. The third meal, lunch, I purposely went down when the restaurant was closed so I could sit in the lounge again. The lady behind the bar remembered my drink order and asked if I wanted the same, I appreciated that!! The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly to my request, excellent. The fourth meal, lunch, I planned on convincing my husband to eat dinner in the Spotlight Lounge so I ordered room service, the Beef Burger was good. The fifth meal my husband agreed to eat in the hotel. I was craving the Chicken and Dumpling Pot Pie again and it lived up to my memory !! The lady behind the bar of course remembered me again and even though it was much busier, I still felt like she was just as personal and friendly. My Pros The lady running the Spotlight Lounge!!! The cook and delicious food!! My Cons The hostess at Allgauers, not just for the table she seated me at, she was not polite at all. The server at Allgauers, I still gave him a decent tip because I knew I wanted to go back and try other things on the menu and didn't want even crappier service. And although I felt both places were clean, there was a slightly tired feel to the decor. If management reads this, we were there the week of 2/8-13/2015

    Everything omelette and carved ham!
    SL G.

    That's a delicious everything omelette with a side of juicy carved ham. Unfortunately, the other items devoured were baked chicken, crispy bacon, sausages, garlic mashed potatoes, lasagna a variety salads and desserts to name a few. A meat lovers buffet without a heavy price! Great staff! Memo will be make you smile!

I completely understand an automatic gratuity on food and service. But there was also an 18% gratuity added for taking pictures. He was literally the assigned "picture person." Why is gratuity being added for that? On top of that, we were charged an 18% gratuity on to-go bottles as well. Again... why is gratuity being added to take-out items? It's a nice place with good food and a great staff, but the way the gratuity is applied across the board feels excessive and honestly takes away from the overall experience. I believe in tipping and taking care of people -- always. This just felt a little extreme.

The place was pretty busy and people were having a good time. The dinner was setup for family style which started off with bread and soup, salad, mashed potatoes, veggies then the main courses. We weren't sure if our son who has allergies was able to eat the food so we asked the server. The soup, bread was a no. The salad yes, but not the dressing. They did give him vinegar and oil. The chicken and beef we weren't sure so we ordered him a steak and mushrooms with a baked potato. The server was very helpful with helping us with our questions. When the food started coming out, a new server gave him the soup and the server that helped us warned us that he couldn't have it and I truly appreciated that. They come out with soup in a metal bucket and they ladle the soup into our bowls. The soup was ok but it was cold and the pasta noodles were mushy. The salad was good and the ranch was homemade and was tasty, I wish it was a little more thicker. The mashed potatoes were just ok and were cold as well. The veggies were not good, cold and could use some seasoning. The bread was the star for me. It was nice and crisp on the outside and has melted butter. I wanted to eat it all but I'm trying to cut down on carbs. The pasta had sausage and chunks of the sausage went into the sauce, the chicken and London broils looked good. Overall, the service was good. The bread and salad was good. The soup could have been better is hot and firmer pasta. Mashed potatoes had potential but it was just ok, pass on the veggies. And the meat appeared like it was good. My son's steak was cooked as desired and said it was good but the sautéed mushrooms were missing and we didn't really bother to ask for them. Being with family was great and that's what mattered at the end of the day. But if we were ever to come back, family style is an easy pass.

She was pretty nice and very knowledgeable about the food menu as well as the drink menu. For my meal, I did enjoy the bone in ribeye steak with a baked potato with the added shrimp! You can add 4 large shrimp for an extra charge and it was worth it. The shrimp tasted like it was cooked on a grill and had that smokey flavoring to it. My steak was also cooked perfectly and was jam packed with flavor. It literally melted in your mouth! The potato was also good; their butter made it 10X better. I'm not sure what kind of butter they use but it was really good on that and on the bread they serve at the beginning. My fiance had 2lbs of king crab legs and while they were very expensive for only 2lbs (we get it - market price but this was A LOT), they did taste like they had been frozen for awhile. We were not impressed with them at all and he 100% regretted getting them, especially for that price. We were very disappointed in those. If we do come back, we will definitely stick to steak or maybe another fish. What made this visit so awesome was that our waitress gave us a slice of cheesecake on the house to celebrate our anniversary, which we thought was so kind! They even put a heart around it!

There was only one table seated when I got there and the hostess said to take my pick. I picked a seat on the wall and she informed me that it was reserved (the only table in the entire restaurant apparently). My server was very slow, even with 3 tables. Despite stating several things clearly, she would do things that weren't in alignment with what we were talking about. For instance I said I was interested in the chocolate cake for desert... I asked if they had that and said she wasn't sure. Then at the end of my meal I asked again and she went to check for like 12 mins and came back and said they are out. A good server would have checked earlier. This is just a tiny example of the dozen things she didn't do well. Also the pricing is REALLY expensive in my opinion and they add on an extra management fee (I think it is like 3% and optional and you can look like a jerk to ask them to remove it). This fee is to help keep their already expensive prices down. I think it is tacky to slip this on the bill without telling you. This place used to be better as Louies Chop House. It had a warmth to it and great food and better prices. I know meats are expensive these days, so maybe they should consider something like a sirloin on the menu that is more affordable. The fact that the place was empty (except the bar) basically is a clear sign that whatever they are doing isn't working.
