Idlewild

This is what $50 gets you for room service. That “Caesar salad” was $16. It’s a side salad with Caesar dressing. Wings were wrong but when they brought the right ones (buffalo) those were pretty tasty.

Terrible place. Took an hour to get 2 quesadillas and we were the only people in the restaurant. Overpriced, slow, and bad service.

Better dinner experience than breakfast, but still a below average hotel bar. They were out of most sides and several other mains, so we all just got burgers and I ordered some spinach and artichoke dip for the table to share. The chips were kind of stale and the dip was probably the worst form of it I've seen with whole pieces of canned artichoke cuts in it. Burgers were overcooked but not inedible, which is average and, for a hotel, expected. Having dined at a table and the bar, I can say I have sat there with an empty drink for 15 minutes while servers did tasks behind the bar, not serving or engaging guests. The room is decent, one large table, a bunch of 4 seaters and a bar with about 10-15 seats upstairs and downstairs another room with more tables. Breakfast listed the buffet for $24.99 (a burger with fries is $19) and when I sat down the server told me the breakfast buffet was $31.15. I repeated it back to him as a question and he confirmed $31.15. I got up and left. Good luck finding anything else nearby though!

Food and service was very good. It's a hotel restaurant with good food. We were only 2 of 7 people in the place.

I don't know if the waiter made an honest mistake or was trying to rip me off. I had a meal voucher from the airline for $12. I ordered a steak dinner for $39 and a Coke. When he handed me the check, it was almost $56. When I looked at it, included was an $8 gratuity. Ok whatever, it's New York. So with my voucher subtracted, I owed $44. I handed him $60 cash. When he brought my change, he only gave me $11. I wasn't concerned about him deciding to round up and keep the loose change, but he was $5 short in what he returned to me. As I was ready to leave, I brought it to his attention. He went through his pockets and didn't have anything small enough to give me my $5. He asked another server and she didn't have change either. So he said he would have to run upstairs to get change, which he finally did. I talked with the other server while he was gone, mentioning the gratuity automatically included in my bill and not telling me. She said they sometimes do that. Sometimes?? So had I not looked at the bill, I probably would have tipped on top of that. Plus being short changed because he apparently didn't have the right change to give me and hoped I wouldn't notice? I've been to and was just returning from a third world country where some people try to rip off foreigners who don't pay attention with other currencies. I feel like this waiter was trying to rip me off as well in my own country. I was there at 10pm on Weds May 10, 2023.

Servers were great but dinner is horrible honestly. The spin dip tasted like it was set on fire combined with burnt hair. The chicken was pink in some spots. Just unsettling to be honest.
