This was our first time trying Cool River, which recently opened in the Embassy Suites. Years ago we had been to a restaurant at the same hotel for brunch. I remember the room that the restaurant was in before had nice windows and views onto a lawn area very pretty. This new restaurant however, is set up in the lobby area of the restaurant, with the high ceiling of the Atrium well above your head. There is a new bar that anchors one end of the restaurant, but otherwise no walls or separation from the main lobby. The positives service was excellent our waiter was friendly and checked on us often. The manager stopped by a few times as well. The food was prepared very well and was served timely...
We were super excited for this restaurant, but overall, it was mediocre. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table $76!!!! For a $15 bottle. Yikes. . I ordered a salad that was overwhelmingly sweet with a maple dressing. It was also overly dressed. Our food was ok—fries were lukewarm, salmon was ok, but the broccolini with garlic was ON POINT. Jim, our server, was cool.
My wife enjoyed her meal, which was the salmon, while mine was just okay; I had the ribs. There are places nearby that serve much better ribs. However, we would consider returning since everything else was good. My wife had baked potatoes topped with sour cream, which could easily be a meal on its own!
My wife's meal was fine (salmon), mine was ok. I got their ribs. There are places in the area who have much better ribs. We would go back since everything else was fine. My wife raved about their baked potato which could be a meal by itself.

The hotel lobby bar and restaurant is absolutely incredible. They offer both fine dining and casual dining options, all served with impeccable white tablecloth service. I especially enjoyed the selection of wines on their menu.
Exceptional hotel lobby bar and restaurant. Offers both fine dining and a casual menu. Enjoyed the elegant white tablecloth service. The wine selection was impressive.
I was really disappointed! It turns out the restaurant is closed on Sundays, yet my reservation was still accepted.
The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional! It's definitely worth a trip!
