For being a restaurant in a Double Tree hotel it was really good. I ended up going there 3 times during my stay, not including getting breakfast there everyday. The food was good with a good mix of items. The beer selection is great. Breakfast was really good too. The bacon is thicker cut and is definitely much better than what you normally get at a hotel breakfast buffet.
Everybody enjoyed their meal choices...cooked perfectly. No doubt we'll be back when in town.
Ganders just hosted us for my husband’s 50th birthday party. We had a group of 30 and the staff were so beyond accommodating and helpful! Sarah and her staff helped us to be able To truly enjoy our time with family and friends, and with excellent service, and made payment easy for everyone. Thank you Ganders staff! So grateful for your service today!
I love it here! The food is so good, and the staff are very attentive.
Best Jager Schnitzel I've had outside of Germany. Really good food here; I stay at the Doubletree sometimes for work and always look forward to dining at Ganders, which is attached to the hotel lobby. There are lots of chain restaurants nearby but none are as good as what you'll get here. Let me repeat: REALLY REALLY GOOD FOOD! You will not be disappointed.
Enjoyed our dinner, friendly staff and loved the Salmon BLT!
Cute restaurant nestled inside the Double Tree Hotel. Donna was my server for breakfast. Great service . Offered me a complimentary coffee to-go … Food was hot and fresh !!!
I visited Ganders as a guest of Doubletree. I took a risk and ordered blackened salmon expecting a flavor explosion. That did indeed cross my tastebuds, but a wee bit intense for ne. I think the spice slightly overwhelmed the fish's delicate taste. The salmon itself was cioked wrll done, coming across as a bit dry. I didn't ask for it to be prepared a veryain way, my bad. The accompanying red rice provided a nice textural counterpoint - well-cooked and fluffy, though somewhat bland on its own. The saving grace of the meal was the Brussels sprouts, which were perfectly crispy and beautifully balanced with a tangy balsamic glaze that added a bright, acidic note to the plate. Overall, the dishwasher good, but would've been better for me if it showcased the salmon's flavor and juiciness a bit more.
