The food was much better before the pandemic in 2020 than it is now.

They didn’t know how to make the cocktails on the menu, had to ask for bread, and the wine was poured without us being able to taste or it being able to breathe. It's not exactly “fine” dining.

We have been coming here for 35-40yrsto there brunch only.Then they shut down and reopened. So first visit here since reopened. My review great crab legs which is the reason I come plus bottomless champagne included. Diffidently worth the $65. However, some changes they made disappointed me. No more cheesecake which was phenomenal is no more. They also did away with the honey mustard dressing 😩. I like salad so please bring it back. Lots of fillers in the hot bins which could be better…I do like the Saturday brunch which is a plus…

Great selection/variety of food and the price wasn’t bad. It’s dark and hot if you get sat inside. Should’ve asked for an outside table

I have been coming for years. Had a great time. My guests were very impressed. The dessert table has changed significantly. Wish the desserts would go back. My guests will return with their family.

We weren’t super impressed with 94th! It all started with them charging us for the brunch plus a massive service charge before we even got to sit down. They were extremely demanding and rude about it. We came to celebrate my dad’s birthday but it was ridiculously hot inside the restaurant so we were all incredibly uncomfortable. We were hoping to watch the Padres game but the owner couldn’t figure out how to change the tv channels. The food was mediocre at best. Even the desserts were melting. We have been here before but this time was truly disappointing.
