    The restaurant ambiance is great but the food was a bit unique. If you are not an adventuresome eater this may not be the restaurant for you. Not many traditional dishes. Had the broccoli which was good but the Tamali was questionable and drowned in sauce. The brisket was good. Expect to spend $100+ per person.

    Great service from Roberto!!! The food was delightful overall. The restaurant and hotel was beautiful. The restaurant was freezing (would definitely bring a pashmina or wear longer sleeves). Valet parking excellent service there as well. Our favorite item was the scallop starter. We even shared some dishes like the broccoli. I received a birthday desert which was delicious! Afterwards a live band was playing near the beautiful bar at the hotel so we even hung around the fire pit at the outside bar to enjoy the music with the pool view that evening.

    Fantastic brisket and fish. It was not crowded and the service was excellent. It was a little chilly inside with the A/C so they brought blankets.

    Absolutely top tier experience and I’d definitely say Michelin star worthy. We had the Chef Tasting and everything was a 10/10.
