                                    Good food and quiet place but nothing really special. Menu choices somewhat limited to our taste and portions were a bit small.

                                    We had a small birthday lunch with friends. It was excellent and I highly recommend the shrimp ceviche for an appetizer to share and then the churros for dessert. Delicious!

                                    We love EDK but last night the food was off. The Carpaccio had stringy tough pieces (which it never has before). The squash soup was without much taste and barely warm. I think it must have just been a weird night since normally we love everything at EDK. We will return.

                                    Hi, I sincerely apologize for your experience on Saturday night. I have addressed the issues with Chef, definitely not our normal experience. I have gone ahead and refunded the Carpaccio and Soup. Hope to welcome you back soon. Best, Maureen Bell General Manager

                                    We made reservations ahead, however, we were seated in the Cafe which felt like getting seated at the " kids" table. No ambiance whatsoever. I had paella and the rice was burnt to bottom of pan it was served in and did not taste anything like paella. It was basically seafood pieces sitting on burnt rice. My husband had Braised Short Ribs that came cut in squares that looked like tofu. Didn't taste good... Our hostess or server had no personality and made no attempt to make our dinner enjoyable. We've enjoyed this hotel in the past but something is off.

                                    Hi Julie, We're sorry to hear that your experience at El Dorado didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere and delicious meals, and it's clear we fell short. Your feedback the Paella is concerning, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. I have gone ahead and refunded you for the Paella and the Short Rib. Hope you will give us another chance another time. Best, Maureen Bell General Manager
