After checking into the hotel, we stopped for dinner in the hotel restaurant. We were one of two parties there when we arrived, and we opted to sit at a table rather than the bar. Maybe mistake 1. We weren't sure if we were even supposed to be in the table after a while because no one greeted us or brought us menus for an uncomfortably long time. When she did arrive, our server was friendly... when she was around. She would disappear for really long chunks of time, to the point we weren't sure that she went on break. We ordered our drinks, but unfortunately before the bartender got a chance to make them, some friends of hers came in and sat down at the bar. She immediately started to help them, and then eventually, after they had chatted, caught up, discussed which cocktails they wanted, she made them and they had a chance to sip them for a bit did she decide to finally make ours - which we had ordered before they sat down. Our food came and it was wrong, but my friend didn't even bother to speak up about it because the server took so long to do anything that it didn't seem worth it.In fairness, the food and drinks were actually good. I had the Yellow Rose Martini (since we were in the Emily Morgan, after all), and it was very good, even better than I had expected. I also had the Caesar salad, which had a unique ancho Caesar dressing that was really good, as well as sun dried tomatoes on the salad. It was one of the better Caesars I've had in my time. My friend had a chicken BLT, which came on a really thick brioche roll instead of toast, but other than having the wrong side, she seemed to enjoy it. We both agreed the food was good, but the service made us not ever want to come back.
