    We were here for NY & the food was very average but for the price it was terrible. For 3 adults & 2 kids the cost was roughly $1,000 - with 2 drinks. Service was also poor. A definite no from me.

    NYE dinner here. Poblano soup was amazing, salad just ok, steak was overcooked, potatoes too salty, dessert was good. Service was ok, nice waiter but not very attentive. Overpriced for the quality of the food.

    Been taking the family to celebrate new yrs eve for the past 3 yrs at La Valencia. It’s been a great experience with great food except for our most recent experience. The appetizers were disappointing and main dishes a bit uninspired. Also, kids options were usually excellent and this time around they under performed on flavor. Great atmosphere and service but food was not to our expectations based on how they impressed us in the past.
