    If it wasn’t for the ambiance I’d leave 1 star.The food was mediocre at best and the service department really was non existent. Dinner on a slow Wednesday evening and had to keep reminding the waitress to bring water to our group. Not what I’d suspect for such a heavy priced meal

    Lunch was good. The service at the bar was excellent. The view was great. The restaurant is old and outdated. I wanted a burger and it was not on the Saturday menu but the server asked if I could get one and it happened. The taxes in CA are ridiculous and overall the hotel is not worth the price.

    The quality of the food was definitely not worth the price. Our salad came out with no dressing. We had to get our burgers redone and the chicken burgers were soggy. The food was definitely a disappointment given the price and it was Mother’s Day. As well, they didn’t do anything special for Mother’s Day, like a rose.

    The overall experience was decent but not worth it. The first thing is the bathrooms were disgusting like a gas station. The food we ordered was basic with a premium price. Most of of us felt sick after eating the food. The ambience is great for hanging out and have a drinks. The quality of the food is subpar.

    This is a nice restaurant with a good view of the beach and ocean. There is a parking garage for the hotel and restaurant. They will validate for 2 hours of parking. It was easy to find, food was good. Pricing was reasonable for the location and service was good. I would definitely come back.

    We went for Mother's Day brunch and like the reviews others posted, the selection was disappointing and the service was fair. The view was outstanding and the omelet and meat carving stations were the food highlights, but the rest was not overly impressive. I would not recommend for the $89 price that they were charging

    Mothers Day brunch was exceedingly overpriced and disappointing. Dessert table was a huge disappointment. The desserts were all petit fours that were obviously not made by the restauraunt. No variety in options for other types of desserts. Omlet station was good. Serive eas quite good. Greay view was the best part of the brunch.
