Menu Variety - Good

There are 16 different food selections ranging from $4 to $9. Mostly all familiar options with a couple of unique items. Plenty of drink options.

Food Quality - Good

We went with another couple. We ordered:

• Chicken Quesadilla - $6
• Beef Sliders - $6
• Pork Sliders - $6
• Clam Chowder - $5
• Spring Rolls - $8
• House-Made Fries - $4
• Space Dust IPA - $4

All food came hot, within about ten minutes of ordering. The servings were generous compared to other happy hours. The food was flavorful and the presentation was good.

Service Quality/ Friendliness - Nah

This was by far our biggest disappointment with Suite. We arrived at 5PM. There was no one to greet us when we arrived, so we sat ourselves. There was only one other party in the entire restaurant yet after ten minutes at our table no one had even come over to greet us or take a drink order. We finally got the attention of the bartender who had a server come to take our order. Once the server took our order things got better with attentiveness, but by then the negative first impression hung over our entire meal. Extremely disappointing.

Noise Level/ Ambience - Good

Noise level registered at 58 decibels, not surprising given there were only a couple of tables occupied in the entire restaurant. There were a number of TVs above the bar. The entire restaurant accommodated happy hour, so there was plenty of seating. Ambience was good, with a bank of windows that looked out to the lobby area of the Hyatt Hotel. There is pleasant outdoor seating on the patio during warm weather. One of our guests noticed a screeching sound whenever someone moved a bar stool; Suite should consider some felt pads for bottom of stool legs.

Value - Awesome

The food was good, but when you factor in the pricing it bumps the value to awesome. $4 for an IPA is about as inexpensive as we've seen for a premium beer, along with $6 sliders and quesadilla. At $5 Lonnie was expecting a cup of clam chowder, but was pleasantly surprised to see it served in a bowl with two large pieces of garlic toast. We ended up bringing food home, something that doesn't always happen at other happy hours. We asked the server to split the bill; she divided it up according to what we ordered versus just dividing the amount in half. Surprisingly good value for a hotel restaurant.
