   So in the end I didnt need to keep this reservation but could not delete it because the business wound up discontinuing reservations throught Opentable. Took forever to figure that out and then I still had trouble with the venue and canceling directly. Opentable while convenient is not easy to navigate and to connect with someone appears to be impossible. Very poor customer service.

   We happened to be there for an early Valentine’s dinner and it was a wonderful experience. The courtyard is so lovely to sit. The food from Chef Carlo Guardado was, as always, outstandingly delicious. Service staff was very friendly and the whole ambiance was great. It was absolutely worth the drive and the money. We’ll go back soon.

   We have enjoyed brunch on the patio a few times prior. This time, there was no hostess with whom to check in. We were directed to check in with the desk staff, who sent us to the waitstaff to check in. It didn't seem like the restaurant was really set up to serve on the patio. We had several different servers check on us, but this made the service incongruent. We'd ask for something from one staff member and then we wouldn't get it--and then had to ask another server. The food, as always, along with the setting, was outstanding. This has so much potential, but perhaps is going through management issues.

   Was staying at the Guild Hotel here for several days and decided to grab a meal here. Very nice staff. Ordered their salmon dish and a caprese sandwich. The salmon was perfectly cooked, however, a bit under seasoned. Could definitely have used a little more salt to bring out the dish. The caprese was exactly what it was supposed to be. I would eat here again while at this hotel for the ambiance and staff alone.

   There was no host and we waited in the entrance for about 20 minutes because no one would talk to us. And then the able restaurant sections was closed and they were rude

   Came at lunch and the service was slow. Practically empty. No host, and very slow service. Would not go back. Food was fine. Fires were very good

   This was a new try for us. We eat downtown often when going to the theatre. The food was great! Vanilla Almond Latte was fabulous! I had the pancakes and they were so good, they didn't need syrup or honey. Avocado toast was delicious as well. Server was really nice and took very good care of us. We ate on the patio which was also really nice. Definitely will go back.

   I came here to celebrate my birthday, and it was just everything I could have asked for. The place was beautiful inside and out. We sat in the patio area with such a unique and beautiful scenery;it had marble tables and chic fringed umbrellas. It gave southern Mediterranean vibes😍. Moreover, food was exquisite and service was great. Taylor, our server, was attentive and sweet. She made our experience even better🫶🏼. I totally recommend the brunch💞 and will definitely be retuning.

    We opted to dine here for convenience over anything else, though I will say the decor and styling of the hotel and the patio is worth a visit. Unfortunately the food and service leave much to be desired. The salad I ordered was small and was super light on garnishes, leaving me wanting more. Our server, while she was attentive, came off annoyed. I'm hoping things get better because the hotel is not likely going anywhere, and it deserves a great restaurant.
