Really enjoyed our dinner! Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday on Sunday evening. We didn't have a reservation but it was ok since it wasn't crowded and therefore, we could be seated immediately.
The hostess was kind and friendly. Service was also great. Our server had charm, was professional and just quite delightful! She was keen to observe the birthday gift on the table and asked if either of us was celebrating a birthday. So at the end of our dinner she brought out a lovely birthday bread pudding, which was accompanied with berries and macadamia nut ice cream. I realized I got ahead of myself there, talking about the dessert. So here goes the dining experience leading up to dessert...
We enjoyed doing what we call here in Hawaii "talking story" with both our hostess and server. Both made us feel like we were family. My friend and I started our evening with the lemon drop cocktail, which is actually our server's favorite since it's delicious and made with fresh lemons instead of anything artificial. The taste confirmed its freshness- it was like an adult lemonade, with vodka mixed in and sugar around the rim. Now with a nice healthy buzz, we continue our dinner...
I got the Huli huli chicken, which was a great choice for me. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were nicely done, good texture and had some body to it- not too soft and there were some potato skins in them, which I personally enjoy. The dish also included kale + corn on the cob, which had butter and some cheese crumbles on top. The chicken was certainly the star of the dish but the sides certainly accomplished it well and were flavorful. I usually don't like kale, as I don't usually like the taste nor texture. However, the kale in this dish was flavored well and since it was cooked, as opposed to being in a salad raw, I liked the texture better. It seemed to have been seasoned, which improved it greatly, in comparison to the natural taste. I enjoyed both the taste of the Huli Huli chicken dish and because it was quite balanced and healthy.
My friend order the fettuccine alfredo with fish. You can order it with fish, chicken or plain. He LOVED this dish!! I tasted it and he was absolutely right, delicious!
The bread pudding was delicious as well! Since it was birthday bread pudding, we were not charged for it either, which was unexpected and appreciated.
Sprigs doesn't usually get many guests from outside the hotel. So even if you live here or are visiting but chose to stay at other accommodations, if you're on the westside, Springs would be a nice, healthy dining option...
Read moreService was great every time I ate with Sprigs. I tried room service and dine in on several occasions. Each time the staff made me want to come back.
The food was decent for a hotel restaurant. In fact, I'd almost give 5 stars but I did not due to quality inconsistency. The first meal was excellent. So good I came back and ordered the same thing again. This time it was average almost bad in comparison. Third time I was like ok, well, inconsistency is an issue here. Service is great but you have to hope you get the chef on a good day.
Room service webpage for ordering is buggy. Some days it's working right at 5, others almost 30 mins late. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but when you have hungry toddlers waiting for 5 pm to...
Read moreSomewhat inexpensive bar & grille inside an Embassy hotel with excellent service and amazingly delicious food. They may not have all the items on their drinks and dinner menu, but what they will have will surprise you. Huge portioned edamame is unique and goes great with a beer or cocktail, the large salads are fresh, crunchy & tasty with macadamia nut “croutons,” burgers are great (and almost too big to finish), and their fish and chips are simple and prepared well. Our waitress, Jill, was very attentive, always smiling, and accommodating along with the bartender. To me, this is a unique place inside a hotel that is almost perfect...
