    The decor, vibe, character were zero. Priced as a high end restaurant, but had nothing. Very disappointing.

    My two friends and I had Sunday Brunch here and it was very enjoyable. Very nice ambiance, quiet and easy to catch up with each other. Portions were good size. I had shrimp and grits and it was very good. Our service was “ok”. Server must of been new and she had to ask bartender if they offered mimosas- none listed on the menu. Kinda a staple for Sunday brunch. We will be back.

    The atmosphere of the hotel, especially in the restaurant and bar area, is very nice. There’s also a great outdoor space that’s perfect for enjoying cocktails. Where this place falls short is the service and the food. Service was very slow and intermittent. Our waitress was very nice, but unfortunately, she just wasn’t very attentive. The food was okay—not bad, but definitely average. We would go back again, but mainly for the atmosphere and cocktails rather than the food or service.

    We were on date night and we thought the restaurant would have more of an upscale menu. The bar looked amazing and we will be back for that.

    We really enjoyed our time at Derailed. Excellent service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and they brought out 2 amazing desserts to share. Wonderful experience all around. Rafael was an incredible, kind server who deserves a shout out. We will be back soon.

    There were six of us in our party, and the server had taken the drink orders and brought the drinks back and told us that there could be only two checks from this table. There was one couple and four individuals who always pay separately. They would not allow us to pay separately so we just had to leave and did not get to eat there that was not previously told to us and that’s very poor Customer Service.. we think it’s better to make an exception to let people pay individually then to make your customers upset and not wanting to return and to pass the word around. Poor judgment on the restaurants part.
