1st star - the restaurant itself is very nice, although a bit isolated from the rest of the hotel, and the service was good. \n\n2nd star- the shrimp and grits and kobe beef were delicious and i would definitely order both again. if that was all i ordered, and i didnt try anything else, i would have given 5 stars for sure. \n\n3rd star -the portions imo were very generous. the branzino was three nice cuts of fish, and surf and turf had a good amount of kobe beef and a whole lobster tail, and both came with three sides, which i initially thought would be more of a garnish but were decent-sized sides. surf and turf had snap peas, good, marble potatoes, also good, and spinach, okay. the branzino had a take on a \"B.L.T.\" as sides, with a little arugula salad, too salty, and accompanying arugula sauce, roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce, tasty, and bacon wrapped fingerlings, good but too much potato per potato imo. \n\nwhy only 3 stars? because while the kobe beef was excellent, the \"surf\" part, lobster tail, was overcooked or something and chewy. not good, even with drawn butter. also, the branzino was bland. of the 3 pieces, i only ate one. 3 other friends also ordered the same thing, they also only ate one piece. the sides with the branzino, while clever for doing a spin on a blt and really beautifully plated, were not delicious and not enough to redeem the fish, which was supposed to be the star of the show. also, i didn't really care to dip the fish in the blt sauces. also, the truffle mac and cheese was okay, but the horseradish mashed potatoes had WAY too much horseradish -- like send-it-back-this-must-be-wrong too much horseradish. \n\nperhaps it was an off-night? \n\nif you go there, order the shrimp and grits and order the kobe beef.
