    The food was fantastic (you must get the whipped feta). Our waiter was very funny and happy to answer all questions we had about the menu. We were celebrating our anniversary and they were very happy to host us in our celebration and everyone wished us a happy anniversary! Will absolutely be returning for many years to come.

    As always, Aurum never disappoints! We love all the happy hour items and the great drinks. Also, they have some of the best waitstaff in Summit County. The manager is always on hand and available to help with anything. We will always go back.

    Service was really good. Ambience was warm and homy. We ordered crispy Brussel sprouts, crab cake, avocado crunch salad, lamb bolognese, and curry salmon. Also order a bourbon cocktail and chocolate mousse. Everything tastes great! We had a great time after a whole ski. Staff were all very friendly!

    Unfortunately we were not able to have dinner at Stark’s Alpine Grill due to the restaurant being closed. I read a past review that had a similar experience. That being said, OpenTable should update this and make sure they close off the times if it is not open. I also suggest those that make a reservation double check with the hotel receptionist to see if it’s open or not. We were able to go to the restaurant for breakfast and were very happy with how our food came out.
