Had just flown/took train all the way from Vancouver and felt absolutely horrid. It was late and we were hungry and not in the best of moods....our server Christian turned it all around for us with his amazing attitude and spectacular service! We are dairy free and this is usually a challenge wherever we go...but not here. Fantastic options were already available and then he went the extra mile speaking to the chef and making notes on our Hyatt room to ensure we were well cared for during our stay. Really delicious proper fish and chips and kind care made all the difference. Slept like lambs after all that. Very grateful.

We had late snacks here following an earlier party at the hotel and we were staying overnight at the hotel. They were quite busy and the food orders took forever but they kept us informed, apologised and explained why the delays. We were having a good time and in my opinion, problems can arise but it is how they are dealt with and our waiter was superb in his attitude and his service so for us that made up for it. I didn't get his name unfortunately but we were there late evening of the 5th August if that helps.

Nice bar, comfy seats and a relaxed vibe. I felt the cocktail list was a little lacking, maybe a few more would be nice. However, the Old Fashioned I had was very nice. The lady behind the bar was quick and pleasant, but a little quiet. I couldn't hear what she was saying to me. Other than that, it was a nice visit.
