    We were greeted promptly with a smile and shown to our table. The hotel and the dining room are quite elegant and the noise level is acceptable, allowing conversation. Our server was just lovely, knowledgeable and efficient. She made sincere recommendations and praised the chef for his creativity. The staff actually seem to enjoy what they are doing. The timing and presentation of the food was spot on and when one diner’s wine took a bit longer than expected, or server comped it. Overall, an excellent dining experience.

    We actually sat in the back room which was much quieter than the front room and we could still watch the Derby. Natalie, our server, was amazing and all of us loved our food (crab cakes dinner and steak frites) We were even surprised with a cake for our Anniversary
