    I have had breakfast/brunch many times at Lona, the food selection this morning was so-so, the food quality seemed to be a bit off today. The outside bar is under renovation. The service also seemed to be off. Hopefully this will all improve as I love coming here and I’m willing to overlook what seemed to be an outlier experience.

    The service was fantastic! The margaritas are well worth it as well as the lobster quesadilla. I highly recommend ordering any of the guacamole. We will return.

    Great $5 margaritas and tacos made for a wonderful meal. Wish we knew that they were going to be doing noisy heavy duty renovations in the middle of dinner at 630 pm. Made for a delicious but uncomfortable experience. Why no forewarning?

    I wasn’t impressed this time. Been there before. Hostess was terrible!! Had a hard time reaching the Restarant to add to the reservation. Didn’t look clean. I will not hurry back.

    Food and drinks were great. They could use some help at the host stand. Waited 5 minutes before anyone even showed up 15 minutes after opening.

    Mediocre all the way around. Very touristy environment and food and service reflected that. We are locals and they obviously don't rely on repeat customers. Lobster quesadilla appetizer arrived at room temperature and before we even got our cocktails. Server seemed uninterested in our comment. Drinks were okay, not great and food was the same. WAY better Mexican around town. This is a hotel restaurant so don't expect much. Quality control issues need work!
