    12 oz sirloin, garlic mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, and the extra skewer of shrimp.

    A quaint little restaurant/Bar inside the Marriott residence Inn. English early American decor. The food is good, as well as the service. Come in relax don't rush. The bartender is also your waiter, nice guy very polite, had a great experience here.

    Chef Fermin's Chicken Cariofo

    This restaurant is a wonderful enigma. It is inside the residence inn, a place where you'd never look. The chef makes amazing food. You simply must go here. We tried the blue crab stuffed shrimp and the Chef's chicken cariofo. Both were very rich and satisfying. Something you would find at any fine dining establishment. Service by Amber was top notch. All this in a tiny but tasteful cozy restaurant. Truly a hidden gem. We will become regulars to try the entire menu ... and then start over again.

    The service was great , the food was delicious. I loved the atmosphere. The food menu was reasonably priced. We got a nice serving also. The bar gave me a nice pour for my order. I would highly recommend it!

    Small location but BIG Flavor. Very tiny Bar/Lounge inside the residence inn but the Food was superb. The Five Pepper Chicken was excellent, flavorful and very filling. The Crab stuffed shrimp was amazing and were gone before i could snap a picture. Sliders i will say came out a little dry but nonetheless still very good. The BBQ wings were great too. Staff was courteous and very friendly. A wonderful location to get a drink and bite to eat, would highly recommend.

    Convenient and has great food. Priced not to tragic for a hotel restaurant. Good service.

    crappy location in a mid range hotel, the shrimp appetizer is awesome! great sauce, the chips are great but queso needs work kinda bland with good tomatillo salsa. needs to be in its own location but food is good. Steak cooked good but a bit tough, chicken was amazing. Quite possibly the best chicken ive ever had. 4 out of 5 just because of location and atmosphere, food is a 5....except queso is a 2.

    The food here should not be this good for a hotel in a bass pro parking lot. I got the Chefs chicken and it was immaculate I ate every bite. The bar has big pours too!

    This was my first time at Tycoon. I have been to Volstead and really liked it. They are similar,…read morebut Tycoon feels a little "fancier". The decor is very plush. I love the bar. I can't wait to go back and sit at the bar. Our waiter Shawn was great. Very calm, helpful and available when we needed him. The Lavender Lemonade is a delicious cocktail and a great way to start the meal. The Fat Cat Fries has so many flavors going on. They were good. I LOVED the Blistered Shishitos and Crabmeat Dip. The naan it was served with was warm and abundant. I do not like when you order a dip and hardly get any chips or bread for dipping. Tycoon covered it! Our friend had the French Onion Soup and liked it. The Steak Frites (substituted with broccolini) that our friend got looked amazing. My husband had the Wagyu Sliders and really enjoyed them. I had the Mediterranean Primavera with blacked chicken that our waiter recommended adding. It was very good. They have a nice wine selection. Not a huge list, but good.

    So I have been wanting to try Tycoon for quite some time now. I decided to make reservations there…read morefor Valentine's Day, which was probably my first mistake. I made my reservation on Resy. A couple of days later I get a call from the restaurant saying they needed a $25 deposit over the phone, in case we cancel. I have dined at a lot of restaurants but never have I made a deposit upfront, they would just have a card on file and charge it if there is a no show. The lady on the phone (Chelsea) said we would only have 90 minutes at our table, which is standard for most restaurants. Nevertheless we paid $25 and kept our reservation, since Valentine's Day is busy time I figured this was the reason for all of this. Upon our arrival we were seated right away, and as soon as we sat down the hostess let us know that they would need our table by 5:45pm, because that is when the next reservation would be there. Right off the bat I felt rushed. I hated the table we were sat in, because we were so close in proximity to other people. Tycoon is very pretty inside, but if you are not seated in one of their spacious booths, the other tables are so close together, you will definitely hear other people's conversations. Let's talk about the food, I ordered the Lavender Lemonade as my cocktail and that was really good. For our appetizer we had the Deviled eggs, and I was excited because I love Deviled Eggs, but these were just okay. I didn't love how over stuffed they were, I just felt like it was too much. For my entree I had the Chicken Parmesan which I thoroughly enjoyed. I thought my meal was flavorful and the pasta was perfectly cooked. My husband had the sea bass and he loved his food. To end the night we shared their Dessert Trio and that was delicious, aside from the Creme Brûlée because that had no taste. Their service was good. Our waiter was nice and attentive. I definitely didn't feel rushed by him, but the same hostess stood near waiting for me to take my last bite of pasta so she could take the plate from the table. We were watching the time the whole time to make sure we got out of there on time. Overall I was disappointed. I get that Valentine's Day is busy day for restaurants but I don't want to be rushed through a dinner that should be enjoyable.

    Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! Will absolutely be back!

They also have a great happy hour, making it an even better spot to meet up with friends or unwind after work. A special shout-out to our server and bartender, Prapti! She was incredibly friendly, made us feel so welcome, and mixed some amazing martinis and green tea shots. The chili chicken was packed with incredible flavor, and the garlic naan was fresh, warm, and the perfect complement to our meal. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and will definitely be back. Highly recommend checking this place out!

    Went to Fiori tonight for Valentine's Day; they had a set menu with 4 courses, each with dishes to…read morechoose from. I know my husband and I were a little disappointed at first that there was a set menu, but we decided to stay and begin our night. First of all, the ambiance of the place was great, even though they had extra tables set up for the night, and it was tight. It was still intimate, and such a good atmosphere. Our server was Nicki or Nikki. I apologize if I spelled it incorrectly. She is an amazing server. She was helpful with decision-making, patient, and just very attentive. The food, even though it was a set menu for the evening, had good options, and everything we chose was delicious and flavorful! We are definitely coming back because I've only been asking to come here for the last 6 months, and now that my husband has found everything here delicious, we will be back soon.

    Fiori I fear has lost their way. We went there tonight for a celebratory dinner. We ordered a…read morebottle of wine and told our server to hold off placing our entrée order for 15 minutes so that we could enjoy a glass of wine in a leisurely fashion. We had no idea it would take an hour and a half for our food to show up. And when it did well, here's how it went. My wife had the chicken piccata and I had the wise guy pizza. My wife enjoyed her plate. Based on the last time I ordered the same pizza a year ago what showed up on the table was a sad echo of something that used to be good. The sauce was very thin and to the point of almost being nonexistent. The meatballs were very stingy as if they were trying to increase their margins by short serving a basic pizza. Overall, it was very dry and lacking of any discernible taste. No doubt because it sat in the kitchen for quite awhile, given the unusual duration that it took for our food to show up. I've had better frozen pizzas from the grocery store. It was a very dry and disappointing for something that used to be overloaded with flavor, sauce and meatball chunks. It was a marked contrast from when we had been here a year ago. What used to be a regular go to has turned into a sad disappointment. I'm putting it down to perhaps they had an off night. But we're not in a hurry to come back anytime soon to see if that was the case.

    Hoppin' Grapevine is an interesting concept! You check in, put a card on file and get a wristband…read more Food and specialty cocktails is order via a QR code at tables. They do let you know that there is an automatic 20% tip added to your tab up front, which you can add too if checking out using the link they text you. The special thing is they have a wall where you pick your own beer, cider and wine(?) that you activate with your wristband and are charged per ounce. I love the drink concept because it allows for folks to try a little bit of various options ... which they do have a number of local options on their wall. This is what I would return for, and bring friends to tet before we end up at another activity. Food wise: got a smash burger which came with fries, which if I order it again I'd probably change cheeses and ask for some pepper to season the fries a bit more ... all personal preferences... but was ok for something to eat to off set the two drinks I had while there. I also got some tacos to go for my husband. Again personal preference, he would have liked more seasoning/spice on the actual meat of the taco vs being as reliant on the salsa. So, on our next visit we might just stick with shareables/apps with our drinks.

Weather was good so we sat outside, the person who greeted us was beyond nice and…read moreexplained how everything worked (sorry I forgot his name) I absolutely loved the concept, I am a beer person but by the time I finish it is warm so this time I poured a little of each beer kind of like my own beer flight. I also tried the margarita and Paloma. Very good. The burgers were really good and the truffle fries delicious. I really wanted to try the steak so will be back on Tuesday , that's when they put it on the menu. They have activities like trivia and a nice patio with games, plenty of parking and the place was very clean. Staff super attentive! I would give them 9/10 the only reason I am not giving a 10 is , you're obligated to pay 20% tip and it's automatically included. Is basically a self service place, tip should be at your own discretion.
