What a fantastic place to spend an evening. I took my mother and her dear friend and the food and cocktails were above average. Our server knew everything about each item on the menu and she was warm and friendly. I hope they continue offering dinner after they open up Sentry again. It is a great option for dining for their guests at the hotel.
