Hotel Dining
The Harvest Café Restaurant is located within the hotel. They serve a hearty Midwestern breakfast buffet from 6am ’til 10am each day for $9.99. (Rumor has it that kids 12 and under eat for free). They are no longer open for lunch, but their lunch menu is served in The Greenhouse Lounge. We think they still serve supper starting at 4:30pm. According to the menu posted outside the restaurant, appetizers will run you $7 - $10, entrees run $14 - $24, salads are $9 - $10, desserts will run you $4 - $5.
The Greenhouse Lounge is the hotel bar. They’re open from 11am ’til 1am Monday through Saturday; 11am ’til 10pm on Sundays. They stop serving food at 10:30pm. It appears to be quite spacious, we haven’t yet had a chance to check it out. They also serve food (per the website: “Our Greenhouse Lounge also offers a full service menu for lunch, dinner and Happy Hour Specials Monday – Friday”).
