Gold medal - Calamari
Silver medal - Mark West Pinot
Bronze medal - Filet

Agio is the restaurant located in the Pooks Marriot.  This restaurant really surprised me. Although, not every item was good, all the items that I ordered were pretty darn delicious!  

The calamari was the best that I've had.  It was crispy and the marinara sauce was full of flavors.

The Mark West Pinot was goooood. The waitress was nice enough to let us taste two different wines before we ordered a bottle. The Mark West tasted a bit fruity, oaky, and light.  It is a very good wine.

The filet was cooked perfect.  It was very tasty and soft.

PS-I do not recommend the bass.

HAPPY HOTEL EATING!!

OK, I'll be blunt. I'm picky, and I am unimpressed with this hotel from the get-go (I will review it separately soon). I ordered a burger from room service tonight ($14.95) + 22% delivery and sales tax... total $24.20.

I ordered it MEDIUM and without a bun (I told them I'm a celiac and can't have wheat). She seemed to understand this.

The burger was NOT medium. It was RARE. (See photo). The fries had gluten on them, as I am now quite itchy.

Not again.

We ate appetizers and dessert in the bar area.  We ordered shrimp in pancetta and the four cheese tomato bruschetta both were really good.  We also had vanilla ice cream and almond amaretto cake both were good. The amaretto cake seemed very commercial. The two glasses of wine were a bit pricey but good.  The seating is comfortable but the decor is a bit dated. There are incongruously tiny TV's in the room, which struck me as weird. The service was good.  I recommend it as a place for a light bite and a drink.
