"The hotel/train station was beautiful architecturally and they had live calm music. The stationary restaurant looks the part of a downtown spot to eat. The issue is the execution of serving temperature with the food and flavor profile. Service was standard, nothing to blow your socks off. Plating of food was aesthetic and pleasing to the eyes. The hotel venue saved this from a lower rating. Ordered coal fired pork appetizer which the meat was tasty, the cucumber salad was refreshing, and the sauce was interesting. The ribeye steak came with fingerling potatoes and asparagus. The steak was cooked correctly but when served the temperature was room temperature. This along with lack of seasoning took away from the taste and experience. The potato’s were neutral flavor and cooked correctly but still served at a low temperature. The asparagus were the best part of the dish. The portion was filling. The burger was served hot and fresh with many good flavors. Nothing incredible but sufficient. The side of potato wedges were crispy and thick topped with a buffalo type drizzle. These were good, but if you don’t want an overly potato flavor they wouldn’t be for you. Overall this dish and side were good. The portion was filling. With a few tweaks this could be a top notch spot to eat, but for this experience it’s a middle of the pack place. I’d spend my money and time elsewhere for a similar price range. Was it worth it? For a one time date yes, for a consistent restaurant staple the first impression didn’t hook me."
