really good hotel restaurant. normally i don't eat at hotel restaurants. about the only time i do is if i am just too tired to go out. to me eating at the hotel is sort of like going to chili's or applebees when you are out of town when there are so many other places to go. i've stayed here a few time and have always been amazed as to how many people are always in the safari room. the happy hour menu and bargain prices have always intrigued me but had never tried it.
the place is good, the service is excellent, and their 3-course meal for $17.95 is probably subsidized just to get you in there and to buy some drinks, but for whatever reason this is a place you should try even when you aren't staying at the hotel. they also advertise they will validate your valet parking if you eat here, so you can avoid the parking hassle downtown. menu isn't huge but all the choices look to be well thought out and good choices.
not a huge menu, and portions aren't huge but they are good and definitely a full meal for $17.95. deserts are in tiny cups but are a nice completion to the dinner. upscale crowd, good service. i haven't been to the $6lunchbut after having the $17.95 dinner i'm guessing it is also a fantastic deal.
this isn't meant to be a back handed compliment, i just really really don't like hotel restaurants so am biased against them, but this one is the exception, it actually is a good restaurant that happens to be in a hotel.
