The $50 coupon was applied after the sales tax was calculated. Thus, I was overcharged by $4.13
The server (Marty) was very kind but the food was quite bland, under-spiced, and unexciting.
The service was initially slow, but other staff were excellent. Overall the food was good.
Our server was attentive, the food was simply delicious!
I order steak, medium rare... it took 35min to arrive while the rest of the entrées were brought out in less than 15min. It wasn’t busy at all, my waitress checked on us 3 times in the 2 hours it took to dine here.
The lobster bisque and the crabcake were too salty.
Waited long before being served. Then service was pleasant and good.
The food was excellent and our server Marty was very friendly!
Food order was correct and the service was spot-on.
Service was great, food was not good for the amount charged.

Very good - food is excellent and service was timely!!
The waiter was very attentive and answers all the questions we have about the preparation of each of our entree.
We got it to go. so there was no dinning experience.
The server and service was great, very attentive. Atmosphere was great.
Everyone enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was great. We were looking for somewhere with large portion size and not too expensive. The food was better quality than olive garden for less.
The food was excellent. The waiter was very attentive. Overall experience was great.
Food and service were exceptional.
Service was very slow that Monday night. There were maybe 3 other tables seated and already eating when we came in, yet we had to wait for a while after ordering our food. We had been there mant times before so we already knew what we wanted. By the time our waitress came by to take our drink orders, we were ready to give her our entree orders.

A few parties happening for the holiday season, enough said for experienced diners.
Manager was really nice and the employees as well.
lobster and grapefruit , fois gras tamale, scottish salmon with lentils, weinerschnitzel, and finally apple galette with ice cream all perfectly prepared presented and portioned
I expected a great breakfast at this great hotel. First of all I give it some leeway because it was under massive reconstruction. But just to get there the parking was eight dollars per hour with no option for any other parking options. I had the breakfast buffet which,,,it's breakfast,,, so it should be pretty straightforward. The custom made omelette was not too bad at all. But the bacon sausage everything else was cold and dried and shriveled and not very appetizing and not very tasty at all. I was quite disappointed with it overall.
friendly service & great food; what's not to love?

Not an Intercontinental Restaurant anymore. Service not as good, decor has not been maintained.
Entree was uniquely different, waitress was helpful and friendly.
It was very empty. There was only one other table seated while we were there. The food was good but a little overpriced. The staff was very nice so overall it was a good experience but it probably would have been better if other people were in the restaurant as well.
Their Lamb T-bone is superior.
The restaurant itself was pleasant and has a good atmosphere. Our waiter Fidel was pleasant and very attentive. The food had good presentation and was tasty.
Food was excellent as was the service. Great recommendations by the server Josua
I truly appreciated that our waiter validated our parking tickets. I met a friend there, and would have been upset to pay $12 each for parking at a restaurant.
it was good food, just not a big selection
It's a great place. don't pass it up.
We had our wedding reception at the InterContinental Hotel so we go back there every year to celebrate. Once again...another great anniversary celebration!!
