Summer salad and Brussel sprouts with Moscow muleAbove average mule, mango dressing on salad was good. Brussel sprouts not bad.

Generous portions and tasty breakfast. I also appreciate how early they open. On Saturday morning most places (including the restaurant in ny own hotel) weren't open yet. They were so I enjoyed a full breakfast and pleasant servers.

The breakfast here is always wonderful, no matter how busy it is we are met with lovely service and tasty food every time. The eggs Benedict is the best. Our most recent server, Grace, was extremely personable (which makes a big difference, especially at 7 am) and very sweet. We had so many laughs! My husband and I have never had a bad experience, and recommend this restaurant whenever friends and family are in town. Upbeat atmosphere, great food with perfect portions, endless coffee refills, and servers that feel like they actually want to be there!!! 6 stars if I could!

Enjoyed our breakfast here. Our choices included refillable OJ and coffee. Portions were good. Service was really nice. The patio Happy Hour was also good. Though there were some unavailable brews and cocktails on our visits. But the servers made some good alternative recommendations. We only saw musicians there once. But it's a nice place to end your day.

I've been to the Harbourstone Pour House many times, usually for their Wednesday trivia night. Quite often there is a Weekly special Trivia Snack, like the shrimp and noddles pictured, which I usually order. The service is great, the location is nice, and the event is fun. My only recommendation is that they add more gluten-free options to the menu!

We had the salmon eggs Benedict and regular eggs Benedict. The portions were a bit small, and the hollandaise tasted a bit off - a bit too much wine or vinegar. The service was good.

The food and service was great, but it was very noisy.

The food was amazing, very delicious! Gluten-free options are good. However, the bar closed at 10 PM so we couldn’t have after dinner drinks. Our waitress was very friendly. Yet, we had a couple of issues with her serving etiquette. Her hair was in a glass of water when she served it to the table as well as carrying straws to the table with her bare hands.

Staff were undertrained. First time we weren't acknowledged. We had a wheelchair and there was plenty of room for it.Second time they said they were already closed although it was 950pm and they are in a hotel. Their hours said until 10pm.3rd time we enjoyed a meal, I had a seafood stew. I made it back to my room and promptly threw up the whole meal. Not sure why. 4th time, we had a comped breakfast from Expedia and it was delicious but the server was not very explicit and hardly said a word even when asked questions. 5th time went for drinks and the server had no clue as to what he was doing. Even a novice server could have asked. Left angry. Even asked to talk to a manager who never appeared.For a hotel restaurant, they left much to be desired. We had 3 comped meals from Expedia but only used one as I was wary to eat there again.The hotel itself was excellent and the staff fantastic. Too bad the restaurant couldn't learn from them.

Erin was the perfect waiter. As were all the waiters we have had at this restaurant.
