"We don 't eat at hotel restaurants as a rule, finding them generally to be sub par. But, in Martha 's Vineyard in March the possibilities are few and the reviews were mostly good so that 's where we ended up. It turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment. We started with an appetizer that we shared: corn/crabcakes. Quite small even for an appetizer; not really enough for sharing. Pretty bland little to no crab flavor, but the corn was at least detectable. The aioli sauce was astoundingly bland completely tasteless actually. My entree was wild grilled salmon, served with asparagus, roasted peppers, and Israeli cous cous. Ok I guess; nothing special, and the salmon portion was too small for the ridiculously excessive price. And served with the same tasteless aeoli as the appetizer. The wife ordered a rib eye steak, served with crispy fried onions and scalloped potatoes. It was all pretty decent actually. It was a thinner cut that I prefer, but the portion was generous, cooked as ordered, with a nicely charred exterior, and will probably be enough for a second meal from the leftovers. Service was fine; our waitress 's heavy accent and quiet voice were only minor issues. From what I 've written about so far the food and the service, it probably merits 3 stars. But I 've downgraded it to 2 for the following reasons: 1. The prices were ridiculously high, then they used tricks to adjust them. Meaning that the entrees were two for one: pay for the higher priced item and the other is free. That compensates for the overpriced entrees but doesn 't help with the overpriced tiny appetizer or the $13 cocktails (which were decent though). 2. On the bill, which correctly showed the total amount taking into account the two for one deal, the waitress had also handwritten the original amount without the two for one deal and the suggested 20% tip amount! Most inappropriate the wife used the term aggressive. Hey, we paid what we paid. How the restaurant chooses to classify the items is their concern not ours. It 's not like we came in with a coupon or something, where it is standard to tip on the pre discount amount. The $36 entree price is a fiction; it was really $18 because of the two for one deal. Not to mention that 20% is too high except for exceptional service and that 's for us to decide; not the waitress! 3. There was not one thing on the dessert menu that appealed to me in the slightest. So we left, and went over to Henry 's for a couple glasses of wine and an excellent brownie sundae. Maybe we should have eaten our entire meal there."
