Merry's Rating: 4 stars
Merry's Comments: The restaurant is located on the top (4th) floor of the Holiday Inn at Parker Rd. and E470, accessible by it's own elevator. Window tables offer a birds eye view of the area and the atmosphere is comfortable but elegant. I definitely recommend the steak bites appetizer! You cook these tender, tasty, tidbits yourself on a hot stone at your table. Other appetizers are generous in size and the Friday complimentary food is also very good! Trapper's recently changed from daily HH to only Mon-Fri. The service in the bar area can be spotty at peak dining hours.
