Mediocre service, just better than average food. Really disappointing considering it’s connected to the hotel. Sit as a group for sure to get attention.

First off to clarify, this used to be Ric’s Grill but it’s now XS Lounge and Grill so I will be reviewing it as so. I dropped by after work today with a few colleagues for some casual drinks. Very upscale and professional looking lounge that gives you an upscale impression. It was extremely quiet and I can’t see it getting too busy even at peak times given the off the beaten path location; primary clientele is likely patrons staying at the hotel. Anyways, this visit was just drinks so I can’t comment on the food. As far as drinks go I was actually surprised they had a fairly good selection of beers on tap and bottle. I’m typically happy to find any form of craft beer at an upscale type lounge. Ironically I just went with a domestic on this occasion(doing this calorie counting thing right now and needed a light beer… that’s another story). It’s good to know they have some decent options for potential future visits though! Prices are slightly high I’d say but expected for this kind of lounge, daily specials and happy hour are options but nothing that will blow you away. Our server Antony was quick and efficient, solid server and no complaints with how he handled our table. So overall it was a quick, simple and good visit. Hopefully next time I’ll be able to try the food :).
