I was staying at the Homewood Suites and even though I usually don't default to the hotel restaurant, Tiramisu had some good reviews so I gave it a try. Yes, it's trendy and a bit pricey, but I enjoyed the experience. We sat at the bar which has interesting bilevel seating: on one side, they have your usual higher stool seating, but on the back side of the bar, they have more traditional chair seating. I appreciated that, as the lower seating was more comfortable for how long we were there.
Let me get that out of the way first. If you're hoping to have a quick meal, this is not for you. Especially if you order pizza, the wait will be VERY long. The kitchen seemed really backed up on anything that needed the wood-fired oven. I watched as one solo diner near us got increasingly agitated because she waited almost two hours for a salad and a pizza. (!) Since my son and I were catching up, we didn't have an issue with the wait, but I did realize when we were done that we had been at the restaurant for over three hours. The bartender who was our server did his best to keep at least the drinks coming!
That said, the drinks were lovely and most of the dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. The aforementioned pizza (we had the Peking Duck pizza) was undercooked, probably because the oven was getting slammed with orders. The tonkatsu veal was the big hit of the evening, and we decided to pair it with comforting carbonara. We had to finish with tiramisu, of course, and pairing it with the Un Cafe cocktail was a perfect finish.
I hope they work out the kitchen kinks, but all in all, a good experience.
