I read some of the reviews of this restaurant prior to arriving because I was staying at the hotel. At first, I was a bit skeptical of even entertaining the idea of trying this restaurant based on what people wrote, therefore, I started researching other restaurants within close proximity. Whenever my wife and I arrived at the hotel (7 Feb 2024), it was a little bit later than anticipated, so we ended up just staying on property and eating at this restaurant - thankfully it was still open.When we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted very nicely by a couple of employees. Since it was a weekday, the restaurant wasn't busy at all so it was quiet...adding to the enjoyable/relaxing atmosphere. When we sat down and read through the drink menu, I quickly realized that I was on the East Coast because I saw one of my favorite beers on the menu...Yuengling! Being from Las Vegas, NV, we don't have that beer in the city, as odd as it may sound, considering that city has pretty much everything. So whenever I travel East, I try to find this beer whenever I can.Our server, Meaza, was phenomenal! It was refreshing to have a server who was very friendly, attentive, efficient, and amiable...because it seems rare these days to have customer service like this. Our food was amazing; it's unfortunate that other people didn't have that same experience (based on their reviews). We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wings, Salmon Piccata, Spaghetti Frutti di Mare, Sautéed Spinach, and Steamed Broccoli. I will say that I've had slightly better Buffalo Chicken Wings, but these weren't awful either. Having experienced so many different restaurants in Las Vegas, it can be difficult at times to eat anywhere else without having a bias towards Las Vegas dining. But I can honestly say that the quality and quantity of this restaurant's entrées were remarkable.The following day, my wife and I tried the breakfast at this restaurant in hopes that the previous night's dinner wasn't a fluke. We opted for the full breakfast buffet because for one, I reserved the hotel room that comes with this buffet every morning. Also, it's more beneficial, from a price standpoint, to get the full buffet ($16.95), versus ordering off the menu. You can also order the continental buffet which costs $11.95; however, I wasn't in the mood to just get cold breakfast food. The options were spectacular...and the quality of the food was even more astonishing. We ended up eating the full buffet for the entire stay and the food options were the same for the most part - I think my favorite entrée/item on the buffet line was the Mushroom Casserole and of course the bacon. Also, of noteworthy significance, both Irene and Angela did such a prodigious job with their customer service skills to which I wish this business would publicize their incredible skills for other restaurant's employees to emulate. They were both VERY friendly, professional, attentive, and highly efficient in every way.The décor was nice but I felt that the fabric on some of the booth seating could use some deep steam cleaning...to include the carpets. Overall, my experience here was extraordinary. I can't validate others' experience, but based on ours, I highly recommend this restaurant to all visitors and locals.

Food no taste no flavor. Recommend not even trying it. Brisket sliders save money and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken same deal. Bar service didn't pay attention to you more involved in the game on

Used this Resturant for breakfast, they charge 17 per adult and 10 per kid. Decent amount of food. Cereals, eggs, bacon, waffle station, coffee and juices. Service was great. I feel like you need to ask for the basic, there was no honey out or milk was hidden at the bottom on the ice where the yogurt is.

We ate dinner here on our overnight stay at the hotel. The menu was small but the food was delicious. Have eaten in other restaurants in other Doubletrees and were very disappointed. Not here. The kids meals chicken fingers were large. My wife had the brisket sliders, very good. I tasted them and was impressed. I had thd Hawaiian Pork Ribs and cannot say enough good things about them. Tasty, fall off the bone tender and a good size half rack. The waiter Mack was friendly and accomodating. The manager and chef also stopped over to make sure everything was the way we liked it. The desserts looked wonderful from seeing them at other tables and one lady told us they were so I'll take her word for it. I look forward to eating here next time I come to Columbia, MD.

I can’t speak for the rest of the menu, but my husband and I each had a cheeseburger and fries. The bun was very cold and almost crumbly, apparently stale. It only takes about 30 seconds on a flat top or grill to heat a bun, it was literally cold to the touch. The meat was cooked to order but no seasoning at all. Seriously the worst burger we’ve ever had. Sorry

I ate here once because I was at a conference at the hotel. The food is not worth more than $6. The menu is boring and the food is bland. You can't even see the sign from the highway. Terrible. If you ever go to a conference or course or whatever here, skip the restaurant.
