Well, that’s was disappointing. Everyone who works here is completely miserable. I think they have a slightly toxic culture going on. The food was OK, but it certainly wasn’t a fun place to dine. We ordered the short rib mac & cheese, and one of the burrata pastas. Both were acceptable, but we really could’ve used that extra kick that sometimes comes with them. Our waiter was very unhappy and not friendly at all. And took forever to take our order, get our order, and then we had to ask for someone to help us get the check so we could get out of there. And it took him forever to bring back our change. Would not recommend this place anytime soon. Maybe if they get some new staff it would be OK.

Casual poolside restaurant and bar offering both indoor and outdoor dining experiences. They boast a curated list of craft cocktails, wine, and a few local beers on tap. The food menu consists of familiar appetizers and sharable small plate plus a handful of select entrees to satisfy your culinary cravings. The staff was friendly and attentive and made us feel welcomed.

Great food, and cool atmosphere. My only critiques would be service, and cleanliness. 1st the server said he would bring another chair and forgot. 2nd two different servers brought lemon and lime garnishes to the table with their bare hands. Additionally, the bathrooms near the front desk needed servicing, and there is an accumulation of dust on all of their cute bojo decorations.

We were a party of 4 and ate here before. We ordered spring rolls for appetizers to share. The spring rolls for $18 was pathetic. It was only 2 small pieces cut in 4 pieces and the server did not even give us small plates to put our food on. The menu did not have the pork chops that I enjoyed the last time which was disappointing. The most disappointing experience was when our food orders came from another server & my order was wrong. It took a while for our first server to come back & apologized to say that the kitchen staff got the orders mixed up. I ordered roasted seabass which I thought should not have taken time to make. Everyone finished their meals when my order finally came and it was another person who we thought was the manager who delivered it. By that time, I was STARVING and very annoyed. The restaurant does not provide bread nor was there an offer of compensation like a free appetizer or discount on the meal. I rarely give a 1 star rating but they need to get the message that this service for how expensive the meals are is unacceptable.

Review 7 months ago when I gave them a 5 star
We were a party of 7 and we wanted to take my mother-in-law out for dinner. This was my first time eating here. The ambiance of the hotel and restaurant was very nice. There was a singer playing guitar and he was good. Our server was attentive. We enjoyed our delicious dinners including the Brussels sprouts appetizers & dessert. My mother-in-law was very satisfied with her fish tacos, which was great.

My husband and I just went on a lunch date here. The service was completely disjointed; servers gone for long stretches, didn’t know what was on the menu, etc. We ordered a dessert, but after paying for it when ordering (their lunch operations are order and pay at counter) and more than a half an hour of it not coming, and asking multiple times, we had to give up and leave to make it back to work on time. Nice ambiance but completely disorganized.

Had vouchers from hotel for breakfast. Overall, food was very good. Portions are very large.

I recommend the farmer bowl, which came with nicely roasted root vegetables and a wonderful slightly sweet sauce.

The steak chilaquiles are also very good.

Staff are very friendly.

Enjoyed a pleasant dinner while staying at the Kimpton. Space is beautiful out on the patio when the weather allows.

Started out with a . Selection is pretty good. The happy hour price is not worth it. (HH is $6 for a 10 oz vs. $8 for a pint.)

Started with the sweet potato appetizer with garbanzo beans. Liked that one a lot.

Then had the chips and onion dip. That was tasty.

Tried the lettuce cups with the fish. Not what I expected but was okay. I was expecting a dish similar to the Chinese lettuce cups where the ingredients are chopped and the flavors are a burst of mixed delight.

To end, had the caramel ice cream and the strawberry ice cream. Both were very tasty.

One dish I had at the hotel reception were the chicken wings. YUMMY!

Would come back again.

This was a pleasant surprise. I came in for a snack and a beer before dinner but ended up getting The Best Espresso Martini of my life and an amazing tri tip sandwich! Every once in a while, “bar food” and drinks will be so impressive that you are seriously in awe…like wait where am I? and the service! 5 stars too! Seneca was on fire, a true mixologist who made me the beautiful, perfect Espresso Martini. If you’re in the area or anywhere close, it’s worth a stop.
