poor cleaning expensive restaurant

The food was better than average. They had good choices and the chef was great.

The room wasn't cleaned well, annoying. the restaurant seemed really expensive. The cost of the stay did not match the service and cleanliness. it just seemed like the value wasn't there (especially given what i paid).
