Went here with my wife for a quick lunch. This is a counter service restaurant with self-service for your beverage. The soup was fantastic. I enjoyed the "Sweet and Sour Pork" soup. I would like to try their other selections as well as I think they change up their line up of soups on a daily basis. We didn't have to wait long at all to order and receive our soup. The atmosphere is one expected at a counter service style restaurant and a bit of a tight space. The only draw back was I thought that it was a little over-prices. I could probably get a hardier meal somewhere else for the same cost. But, if you are willing to spend the money for a moderately priced counter service, I would recommend giving it a try.

After driving for days from California, we were looking for a nice meal and this was recommended by our hotel staff.I have been to many Farm to Table restaurants, in fact my daughter is a server in one, but this didn't quite hit it, and for me, just not quite there.We came last Sunday, which apparently is the chef's experiment night and it was immediately clear something was off. The service was incredibly slow and many of the tables around us were grumbling. In fact, they tried to give the table next to us free dessert before their mains even came - that seemed a bit odd. Our server was very good and professional but she wasn't really able to do anything about the slow kitchen.I ordered the "broccoli risotto" and basically found it inedible, and I had been longing for some veggies after days of road food. It tasted like raw broccoli and the red sauce on it had basically no discernible flavor. Back to the drawing board on that one! I had the chicken with mustard sauce, green beans and fries and really it was just so average. The chicken was sadly dry. And it took nearly an hour from when we ordered to getting our entree, meanwhile watching all the drama around us as more and more patrons complained and had wine and food comped. My daughter has a non memorable pasta dish...I will say the desert we ordered was the best part of the meal - a chocolate ganache cake with berries. I enjoyed that and desert at least came at a reasonable time. Again, I have no beefs with our server - she was clear about what was going on but we hadn't planned on spending 1 1/2 hours at dinner for what was really pretty forgettable food.
