“The food here is consistently excellent, and it's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Every meal has been fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The service is generally good, with friendly servers, though they can occasionally be a bit difficult to find during busy times. The atmosphere is stylish and modern, and I really appreciate the way the space has been designed. The only downside is that it can get quite noisy inside, making conversations a little challenging. During the summer, sitting on the outdoor patio is a much better option. It's more relaxing, perfect for people-watching, and makes the overall dining experience even more enjoyable.”
“This place has a great upscale bar and restaurant atmosphere that feels stylish yet comfortable. It is the perfect setting for meeting up with friends, enjoying a casual date night, or simply relaxing with good food and drinks. The vibe strikes a nice balance between lively and laid back. The food was really good, and the service made the experience even better. The bartender was courteous and checked in at just the right moments, making sure everything was going well without being intrusive. That level of attentiveness was definitely appreciated. Between the great atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service, this is a spot I would happily recommend. You will not be disappointed.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience at Somerset. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The peri peri chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, full of flavor without being overwhelming, and the whole pan-seared branzino was fresh, delicate, and beautifully prepared. What really elevated the evening was our server, Irina. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, making us feel genuinely welcome and well taken care of throughout the meal. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and lovely service — Somerset is a place we’ll happily return to and recommend.”
“Everything was excellent- food, service, and atmosphere! I had the sea bass and it was great.”
“Upscale bar and restaurant vibes. I did not eat, but my friend did and stated that the food was really good. She had chicken and waffles. I had the signature somerset mimosa. It was yummy. 😋 The bartender was courteous to check in occasionally at just the right moments, which were appreciated.”
“Breakfast was part of the hotel stay… massive and huge portions. Except no fresh coffee.”
“It was a nice modern American restaurant. I love the filet and the peppers was a good addition to the steak. It did feel a bit small of a portion compared to other restaurants I been in the area. The Thyme Traveler taste a bit too alcoholic for me and it wouldn't be something I ordered again. I would ordered the filet again if I ever came back. :)”
“Enjoyed a nice brunch here. I have food allergies but had to ask for ingredients and the server was unsure. They were accommodating and checked with the kitchen and all was good. Food was fair. Not great but good. The ambiance was perfect for Sunday brunch!”
