    limited hours, no weekend lunches
    Robert C.

    Eating indoors at a hotel restaurant with buffet during the pandemic. Came here during the Dixieland Jazz Festival here at the Doubletree Hotel  by Hilton July 9-11, 2021.   All hotel employees masked and wearing gloves. You order like at a fast food restaurant, right at the front counter check in desk, pay for your meal, and find an open table, waiting for the meal to come in a take out container. Black styrofoam containers, plastic utensils, and paper cups. Beautiful setting, eating indoors in the 8 story atrium, with waterfalls and the glass elevators in the background.   Place has changed during the pandemic, with limited hours and limited menu. Lunches and dinners no longer have buffets, with no weekend lunches. The breakfast no longer comes free for Hilton Honors Gold or Diamond members staying at the hotel.  Instead you get a $12 daily credit per member toward meals. Wife and I arrived Friday, got a $24 credit for Saturday dinner and a $24 credit for Sunday breakfast, when we left. The credit is applied for meals eaten at the International Cafe. The menu is similar to the room service menu with the same prices. Wife ordered a $13 cobb salad and I ordered the daily special $13 meatloaf for dinner. Beautiful presentation, and large serving, with cobb salad coming with lettuce, tomatoes, sliced eggs, onions, sliced avocado, sliced ham, olives, with dressing on the side. Meatloaf comes with vegetables, potatoes, and at least 8 ounces of sliced meatloaf, covered with tomato sauce. AYCE breakfast buffets at $13.25 reduced in price from the $16.95 AYCE buffet breakfast prior to the pandemic. No pancakes, and no eggs benedict.  Continental breakfast items include orange juice, refrigerated bagged pre made pastries, croissants, apples, oranges, yogurt, sliced fruits over ice, and toaster for sliced bread. Did not see any waffles or bagels.  Wife always fills up her thermal container with hot coffee.   My ex would have filled up her styrofoam container with the hot items of AYCE breakfast scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and roasted cubed potatoes for take out. Only the standard hotel rooms here have no microwave ovens to heat them up!

    Not bad for a hotel restaurant, but not great. Breakfast burrito and croissant breakfast sandwich are good. For dinner, try the pork chop if it's available.

    Had a steak dinner and food was just ok, wish they had better sides to compliment the food.

    So good! This place is FANTASTIC if you like hairs in your egg whites, the greasiest and slimiest hash browns on the west coast, and a server with the warmth of North Pole, this cafe in the Radisson is just for you! Now, I wasn't actually looking for any of those things so I found the entire breakfast disgusting and inedible, but hey that's just me.

    Great breakfast!

    My husband and I were hesitant to try this place out because a bad yelp review but the area didn't offer many breakfast places. We came here and ordered breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised!! The place was pretty busy and the service was still good! Great prices and tasty food! I got the two egg breakfast and my hubby got the Spanish skillet. Both were very good! Not one complaint. Side note, the hotel has changed owners and is no longer a radisson which is probably why food is better.

    Fish & chips from kids menu. Yummy!

    We have stayed at the hotel and eat almost every day here two years ago, food was great! This year we are enjoying it too service a little bit slow... but we are in no hurry :-)

Luckily, I heard tremendous things leading up to my visit, so I finally made an effort to try it for myself. Let me just start out by saying: This is as good as soul food gets. There's a reason Joe Rogan shouted this spot out on his podcast several years ago. My group was immediately greeted by Chef Paul himself upon our arrival. He sat us down and got our drinks going right away. Another lady then took our orders. They had a Lamb Shank special going, so I decided to snag their last one of the day. We did wait a little while for the food, but it was well worth it. You can tell they put a lot of effort into bringing out fresh and flavorful plates for their customers! The Lamb came out glazed in thick, flavorful sauce and topped with parsley and onion. It was phenomenal. I didn't realize one could make Lamb taste THAT good. It was super flavorful and moist, and I wish they could keep it as a staple on their menu. My sides were Braised Cabbage, Chili Beans, and Cornbread. They all tasted great, but the Chili Beans really stood out for me. I love how they had a little kick that really upped the flavor profile. My grandma got the Fried Chicken with Potato Salad, Collard Greens, and Cornbread while my brother went with another special of the day: Turkey Wings and Cornbread Stuffing with Gravy and Mac & Cheese on the side. There were ZERO complaints among us. Every single one of our orders were exceptional. Chef Paul was attentive to every table in the restaurant, and he was constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything. I can now see why this restaurant gets so much praise. Chef Paul does it right! Thank you for such a delightful meal.

In a word, delicious. The Mac N Cheese is baked & hot & tasty. My wife really liked the Collards & enjoyed her chicken thighs. Servers are very attentive. This place is really small & the ambiance is Dayton, OH funk (think Roger & Lakeside) which made this former Gem City resident happy. They only have a few tables so most of their business seems to be take out. Everything is cooled to order so there is a wait, but it is well worth it. I will be back to try the catfish. 5-stars

However, it is definitely worth it! For a while now I have been wanting to try this place and finally for around to it. The staff was great very kind and friendly as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was amazing, she was always checking up on us, making sure we had everything we needed it and that we were comfortable. I ordered the Fried Chicken Biscuit with Tater tots and for my drink I ordered the OG Lemonade. Starting with the sandwich, the chicken was nice and juicy, very crunchy as well. The flavor of the chicken was very good as well. The buscuit added that nice hint of sweetness that just tied the whole thing together. The tater tots were definitely crunchy, which I loved. They give you a very well serving of tater tots. I did not end up finishing mine, but they had great taste and texture. The lemonade was very refreshing, and it just hit that spot so well. It was appealing to the eye and tasted like freshly squeezed lemonade. Overall experience was 10/10, I would come back. The place gives off vintage coffee shop vibes even though it is not a coffee shop. Seating is definitely very limited inside. However, they do have outdoor tables with umbrellas which is a nice touch. Price-wise I would say it is a bit pricier compared to other similar restaurants I have visited. The total came out to $45 for two plates of the chicken biscuit and two lemonades.

The menu is very versatile with so many great options. One thing I really enjoy is being able to watch the cooks prepare the food it adds to the experience. In some cultures, people prefer to see their food being made, and it's honestly nice to sit and watch your meal come together. The gravy here is truly something special. There are times I crave just their gravy and rice it's that good. Their Chinese food is also very flavorful and authentic, and they'll make it just how you like it. The staff has always been great. I've been coming here for years, and they've really built relationships with their customers. When my parents passed, they even extended their condolences, which meant a lot. They've seen generations of people come through, and you can tell they genuinely care. It's the kind of place where the love between the staff and the customers goes both ways.

The photos online don't fully represent what the place actually looks like. The restrooms were in very poor condition, to the point that I didn't even feel comfortable going inside. When we first walked in, there was no greeting or direction from staff, and it wasn't clear whether we were supposed to seat ourselves or order first. Another frustration was that there were no prices listed on the menu. It's difficult to order when you have no idea what you're spending or how much the drinks cost. I ordered a large Americano, which only came with two shots of espresso. For that size, I would have expected three or even four shots. The coffee wasn't very strong, and instead of fresh half-and-half, they only offered the small packaged creamers. My parents ordered the Number 3 and requested it on a plate. The eggs were overcooked, the beans lacked flavor, and the potatoes were not crispy at all. We also found it odd that it wasn't served with bread or even a tortilla. I ordered the Number 1 as a torta, and I would say that was probably the best thing we had. The chorizo was flavorful, and overall I'd give the torta a 7 out of 10. Unfortunately, the atmosphere and overall food quality did not meet our expectations. Based on our experience, we won't be returning.
