Looking for a change in Georgetown dining, so we ventured over to the new Holiday Inn. The decor is very upscale and upbeat, although I couldn't say just what type of style it is. Had a $2 off an entree coupon, but didn't use it. The waitress/bartender/server/cashier (one person for all) told us that appetizers were half off until 7:00, we noted that it was 6:50 p.m. We decided to order three different appetizers for our meal. The three mini burgers were the best of the three, recently prepared with bacon, lettuce, tomato and cheese on a fresh mini bun. The next appetizer was the substitute for the Oriental Spring Rolls -- the Mexican Spring Rolls. We could tell they were pre-packaged and re-heated. Not a recommendation. The third was the chicken fingers. Again, nothing special.
I must mention that we were the ONLY diners in the resaurant while we were there. The unique feature is that each booth has its own television. Paul watched the NCAA game that was on at the bar, and I found "American Beauty" on our booth tv. Sort of like home -- we need more than one televsion to make us both happy!!!!
The "chef" came out and we chatted awhile about how he got into the cooking business. He was proud that they recently hosted the Bellterra group at this hotel, and they were impressed with the hotel and the food.
I checked out the meeting rooms for possible training programs, but we must have facilities that will seat at least 70 classroom, and theirs probably would have seated maybe 40 tops!
We will go back, but I will order something that needs to be prepared in their kitchen. The waitress/bartender was enjoying a delicious looking steak, with a huge stuffed baked potato, and a salad featuring field greens. I think that might be on my mind the next time we visit the place.
