Very cool hangout place & fun live music

We dined here on Tuesday night, 12/14. The promised website menu has been changed to a simple (and simplified) paper menu. We ordered the fried calamari, the chicken salad, and the cheese burger. We were told the desserts were "caramel cheese cake, mini ice cream tubs from Haagendaz or B&J, or a chocolate brownie". The calamari was calamari sticks (i.e., from Costco) and they were rubbery. We cut off the breading in an attempt to dip the calamari in some sort of sauce but they were still chewy. The chicken salad was unremarkable. The burger was tasteless. The waitress was very apologetic. We skipped dessert. As we went back to our room, we stopped by the hotel pantry/ gift shop. The shop offers food to go. WAITAMINUTE! There was the same chicken salad I just ate. It is there in the panty shop! Ditto to the desserts. These folks are taking prepared food and putting it on a plate. The calamari probably is from Costco and just microwaved on site. It is possible they do not have a cook at this restaurant, let alone a chef. Pass for cause.

Get the good drinks inside not at the pool. The food is on point and I cook better than most restaurant's

Bartenders very attentive, prices aren't bad, drinks were good. I am sure my overall experience was improved by the great couple from Canada we set next to it. Hotel is very well decorated. At the end of the day though, it's just a hotel bar.

Great little bar/restaurant in The Renaissance Hotel. Fun cocktails & amazing soup. Jeremy a terrific bartender & super friendly guy!Works at lightening speed, extremely busy place when I was there. Very tasty seasonal complementary specials!

It was great atmosphere with friends.

I ordered a cod fish burger, which was delicious and had two huge pieces of fish. And I couldn't make up my mind for desert, but the very friendly staff (Felix was his name, I think) made a chocolatey suggestion, which turned out to be superb. Thank you.
