Walking distance from our hotel in Ohio, this grill restaurant turned out to be a relaxing, but over-priced meal. Situated inside a Holiday Inn, it had a sophisticated ambience, with marble floors and an imposing lobby. I refused to order the salmon, which was around twenty dollars, opting for a tilapia sandwich for ten. My husband ordered the grilled chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes. His dish was literally huge, a deep plate, but the food on it was minimal, definitely not eighteen dollars worth. My boys enjoyed the kid's meal, particularly the french fries.
All in all, the service was wonderful, especially since we were the only family in the dining section. (I saw another vacationing family by the hostess station looking over the menu. The little boy motioned closer inside, yelling, "food!" but the parents held him back, and I am assuming they dined at a more cost friendly restaurant.) The bill, after the restaurant.com gift certificate of $25 came out to $21, which included the $7 gratuity. Not too bad; it came out to about how much we would have spent at Burger King or some other fast food place. I would definitely recommend families using such certificates to go during lunchtime (apparently they offered $10 buffets during lunch) and to check ahead and see if it was the kind of restaurant environment their children could behave properly in (my toddler was a bit too noisy for this place, not that anyone could hear).
I still plan on checking out the restaurant.com website in the future, especially with their occasional 70% off specials!
