So this review is from my limited perspective as a wedding attender, but I am really happy with the…read morechanges Cliffbreakers has made. I came here quite a bit in high school (many years ago) for various events like homecoming and weddings and it was decent, but always had an old feel or seemed out of touch. It was also way too dark. Fast forward to today and you can tell they've poured so much time, attention, and money into renovating this to be a modern, classy, and really fun place to be. I was actually really pleasantly surprised walking in the door for the first time in 10+ years and seeing a beautiful ballroom complete with modern luxurious chandeliers, a beautiful dark wooden dance floor, and a modern bar and wooden accents around the room. The food was freaking delicious (I personally had the pork tenderloins and they were fantastic, served with some of the most flavorful zucchini I've ever had) and also had great presentation. The drinks were great, and from the limited interaction I had with staff, they seemed friendly and helpful. All in all, I'm really excited to see the positive changes made here! Super impressed and would definitely come back again!

Disregard the reviews older than 2018 as they just completed a multi-million dollar renovation after being added to the Ascend group of hotels. My suite had been completely redone top to bottom including new plumbing fixtures, heat, furniture as well as floors and walls. The staff for our event were superb. I normally don't bother to write reviews but in this case I decided to take the time to thank them for helping make our event go smoothly for the weekend. SW

When she told them we had been waiting so long they said they lost our order and couldn't put ours ahead of later orders. When it finally did come it was mostly cold food, pasta sauce was too spicy to eat, 2 out of 4 jumbo shrimp were burned, so bad they said we could have it for free so we took it. At a certain point they opened all the windows and doors because of the smoke from the kitchen. My eyes were pricking from the smoke. I hope they improve but I won't be going again soon. They had breakfast this morning at the Verdi which we usually go to but not this time. Too bad.

A lot has changed since the last time we visited a few years ago…read more We were looking to break out of what I call our "DeKalb" funk since we have been eating a lot in DeKalb when we do eat out. I thought of Hoffman House, which is co-located inside a hotel. We'd eaten there years ago, and their prime rib was very good. While driving north, my wife looked it up. They changed from a white table cloth restaurant to more of a sports bar theme. Their entree list was rather anemic and just not worth the trip, except they did offer Prime Rib on Saturday. We made the trip. For starters, when you walk in there is no hostess station. The bartender told us "Sit where ever you want." so we found a booth that was clean and sat down. The seating was, well worn as in worn out. The seat covers were chipping on the chairs, and the booth seating was just dead. Our server arrived and we placed our order. My wife ordered tea, and I had a Guiness draft which was properly poured. The server brought out 4 honey buns, which are light and fluffy, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and served with a honey butter blend. They are best when they arrive - HOT. (Eat them as they arrive) It wasn't very long before the main course came out. No salad was offered. My Prime Rib was ordered and served medium rare, and the baked potato was cooked properly. I was expecting some horseradish sauce with the Prime Rib - nope. My wife did enjoy her shaved Prime Rib sandwich - the roll it was on was nice, and she opted for the premium onion strings, which were tasty. Why just okay? This was a place to go for a nice dinner with your family. It has transformed into a tired sports bar. Lots of screens, but it's kind of half-hearted with regards to the sports bar theme. Servers aren't in sports uniforms, there isn't a lot of stuff on the walls. The seating is worn out and should be either refinished or replaced. It feel like they ran out of money or concepts during the conversion, and just stopped. There is nothing compelling here to bring us back.
