  I went into this place not knowing what to expect. This location inside the hotel has been somewhat cursed with a high turn over rate of restaurants. This area also used to be a pretty bad part of town although it seems the hotel at least has cleaned up and it shows.
  
  I went in for a very late afternoon lunch. It was almost empty when I arrived. Good atmosphere with pool tables. Looks like it would be a good spot to catch a game.
  
  My waitress was so friendly and on point I wish I could remember her name so I could give her credit. She even brought me free fresh chips and a dip made out of sour cream and guacamole while I waited.
  
  I had the PGB Nightlife, which was a plate of nachos and wings.
  
  The wings were okay. I liked that they were covered in hot sauce, though. The nachos I really liked. They were made using Doritos chips. I don't think they'd be for everyone, but as the name suggests, this would be an awesome late night food for when you are drunk and have the munchies, haha.

  Hidden little gem in the Clarion hotel! No idea it was there until I checked in and went to bar.
  
  The restaurant and hotel is new with gorgeous design and ambiance. The surprise was that the food is excellent. We ordered a few items including wings, Caesar salad, salmon, burger and pasta. My wife and I were impressed with everything we ordered and the food came out quick. The service staff was very kind and attentive.
  
  My only complaint would be that they need more of a wine (and by the glass) selection, and some kind of sign on the road so people know they are there! Otherwise - eat there!

  I maybe being generous with this rating. I've gone here 2 times. The first was a Sunday where my team wasn't on local television.
  
  It wasn't very busy about 5 people in at the bar no one anywhere else in the place. I sat down and was asked if I'd like a drink. I said sure can I see a drink menu (they don't have one). Strike 1... Ok I asked so what do you make well. To was told by the bartender I'm a professional bartender I can make anything. Strike 2... Ok well what the best drink you make (drumroll please) Long Island iced tea. Ok I'll take it.
  
  After sitting for a while with no food listening to the few employees complaining about how much they don't like being here and the problems they had with management I asked for a menu. Strike 3... (No offense but I'm here to chill and watch a game. I don't need to know the internal problem of your business.) I was given a menu as the bartender went back to his coworkers so they could continue complaining. Fun fact prior to the coworkers coming in he didn't interact with a single person at the bar. No small talk no what team are you here for no banter nothing he just went behind the register and pretended we weren't there.
  
  I ordered a club sandwich since I thought the odds of messing this up were slim at best. I was right it wasn't bad at all. However, it did take almost 30-40 minutes to be brought to me. As I sat there a few people came and went never more than 10 total people at any given time and I witnessed the same thing I experienced several times over. I left with a close game in the 4th quarter due to poor overall service.
  
  I came back a couple of weeks later during the week hoping to see that I was just there on a bad day. Same bartender very similar experience but this time there were even fewer people there and I was the only one at the bar.
  
  This is a small city and I was excited to get a sports bar with the NFL package. Since I'm a fan of an out of state team I maybe back next season sometime but I now know what I'm in for.

  I went to the restaurant on a Monday to try the all you can eat crab legs. My family of 3 arrived on time for our reservation at 7:15pm. Since it was over booked we decided to sit at the bar. We then ordered our basket of crab legs at 7:15pm. Literally an hour later we still had not received our 3 clusters of snow crab legs. A customer demanded to see the manager but we were all told that she was in the back cooking. After a few minutes the irate customer stepped to the door of the kitchen to speak with the manager and still she refused to come into the dining room. The all you can eat special was from 6pm - 9pm. We finally received 1 basket at 8:35pm (meanwhile others who were there before us whom had received their crab legs continued to get their baskets refilled). I understand if this were new and all the kinks weren't worked out, but from working in the restaurant industry for about 7 years I would have appreciated if the manager showed her face just one time. Needless to say myself nor family will not be visiting that establishment ever again. You truly get what you pay for.
