  A good high end hotel restaurant. I found myself alone after a cancelled flight so I got to try another good restaurant. It has a nice seating area and the dcor looked well designed with a skylight and wood floor. It was not busy. I ordered the Caesar Salad and Mushroom Ravioli. Being by myself I was not looking for a drawn out dining experience, just some good food. They recognized that and the meal was quicker paced and the server particularly friendly. In other words, service was great, exactly what I wanted. As for the food, the salad was a delicious creation of the classic. For $9 I expected better than typical and I got much better. The pasta was also very good and the serving size generous. It was a nice blend of subtle flavors. Sometimes restaurants can be stingy but my dish had a good amount of the basil cream sauce. All in all this was not a bad place to be stuck for the night.

  Elements. I ate here for dinner last night with a dining companion. The restaurant looks modern and clean upon entering with some nature pictures the meld into the wall.Upon being seated our server asked us if we would like bread. With our confirmation he went to the back to heat it up. A couple of minutes later we were given warm bread with a small dish of unsalted butter with salt on top which was delicious. For dinner my dining companion and I decided to start off by ordering the calamari. It came out pretty quickly, was served with a marinara sauce and lemon and tasted good. The batter was light and not overwhelming allowing me to taste the calamari. In addition to the appetizer I also ordered the beet salad. I was disappointed in the lack of lettuce/greens on the salad but they did have a lot of beets. Overall the taste was ok but it was not anything special. Finally for my entree I ordered the whole wheat pasta and added chicken. The greens, reds and whites in the presentation made the dish look nice. Sadly the chicken was dry and the large amount of basil in the pasta was not to my liking. In my opinion the best part about the pasta was the sauce and pine nuts. My dining companion had the spinach salad which he enjoyed and the mushroom raviolis which he thought were underwhelming.The bottom line for me is that I would probably not come back to this restaurant. It is out of the way and did not really give me any reason to come back. However, if I was staying in the Hyatt where it was located I would probably give it another try. It should also be noted that the staff was very cordial and worked hard to make us happy.
