“ I read some of the reviews of this restaurant prior to arriving because I was staying at the hotel. At first, I was a bit skeptical of even entertaining the idea of trying this restaurant based on what people wrote, therefore, I started researching other restaurants within close proximity. Whenever my wife and I arrived at the hotel 7 Feb 2024, it was a little bit later than anticipated, so we ended up just staying on property and eating at this restaurant thankfully it was still open. When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted very nicely by a couple of employees. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant wasnt busy at all so it was quiet...adding to the enjoyablerelaxing atmosphere. When we sat down and read through the drink menu, I quickly realized that I was on the East Coast because I saw one of my favorite beers on the menu...Yuengling! Being from Las Vegas, NV, we dont have that beer in the city, as odd as it may sound, considering that city has pretty much everything. So whenever I travel East, I try to find this beer whenever I can. Our server, Meaza, was phenomenal! It was refreshing to have a server who was very friendly, attentive, efficient, and amiable...because it seems rare these days to have customer service like this. Our food was amazing its unfortunate that other people didnt have that same experience based on their reviews. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wings, Salmon Piccata, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, Sauteed Spinach, and Steamed Broccoli. I will say that Ive had slightly better Buffalo Chicken Wings, but these werent awful either. Having experienced so many different restaurants in Las Vegas, it can be difficult at times to eat anywhere else without having a bias towards Las Vegas dining. But I can honestly say that the quality and quantity of this restaurants entrees were remarkable. The following day, my wife and I tried the breakfast at this restaurant in hopes that the previous nights dinner wasnt a fluke. We opted for the full breakfast buffet because for one, I reserved the hotel room that comes with this buffet every morning. Also, its more beneficial, from a price standpoint, to get the full buffet 16.95, versus ordering off the menu. You can also order the continental buffet which costs 11.95 however, I wasnt in the mood to just get cold breakfast food. The options were spectacular...and the quality of the food was even more astonishing. We ended up eating the full buffet for the entire stay and the food options were the same for the most part I think my favorite entreeitem on the buffet line was the Mushroom Casserole and of course the bacon. Also, of noteworthy significance, both Irene and Angela did such a prodigious job with their customer service skills to which I wish this business would publicize their incredible skills for other restaurants employees to emulate. They were both VERY friendly, professional, attentive, and highly efficient in every way. The decor was nice but I felt that the fabric on some of the booth seating could use some deep steam cleaning...to include the carpets. Overall, my experience here was extraordinary. I cant validate others experience, but based on ours, I highly recommend this restaurant to all visitors and locals. ”

“ The Brisket sandwich and the beef Thai noodle salad were so good ”
“ Food was delicious and our servers were friendly and attentive. ”
“ My family and I went to the restaurant on a Sunday evening, and we experienced friendly and attentive service from Patrick and tasty food. This place is kid friendly and has reasonable prices. Well definitely be coming back. ”
“ Great buffet breakfast for family or individuals. Good Service and quality. ”
“ Staff is amazing, morning noon and night, front desk, manager, and breakfast staff. They were all kind and helpful our entire stay. ”
“ This is the restaurant in the Doubletree Hotel. We werent staying at the hotel, were locals, but its near where we live so we thought we would try it. Actually the food is very good and not too overpriced like hotels can sometimes be. Most of the food options were high end Pub type food. The fries were crispy and nicely spiced. I ordered the Pasta Alfredo and the sauce tasted fresh and homemade. The service was really great too. They seemed really excited to have locals as I think they mostly just get Hotel guests. ”
