To Management: I was there for breakfast September 21st and 22nd, 2022. An older, heavy set, tall Hispanic male whose name I think was Luis (per the receipt) was serving tables including mine. He did a fantastic job with all the tables he was working. I was observing him and noticed he always used very polite language and had a very friendly and inviting demeanor. He was nice even when some customers were rude to him. He also was very efficient at taking care of the very busy dinning room. This is my way of thanking him for his service.
To other customers: I felt this restaurant serves a nice breakfast judging by US-Hotel Standards. Please don’t expect a European-styled hotel breakfast for a low-price while you’re staying in US hotels, especially in California.

Our group of 4 tried a variety of cocktails and food items, and everything was superb. Some highlights were the Pork Risotto, the Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Beef Spare Ribs.

I want to give a special shout-out as well to Juan, who was both our bartender and server for the evening. He made the BEST drinks and was just a delightful human all around. Next time you're in the area, or if you're staying at the hotel, I highly recommend giving this new...
Read moreAn organization I’m a part of rented this place out for an event and to say I’m appalled is an understatement. The line for the women’s bathroom was extremely long, and there was no one in the men’s so a couple friends and I went into the men’s restroom. I understand if this is not appropriate and not allowed, but the reaction from the staff was truly disgusting. They immediately started cussing us out and saying racial slurs repeatedly. It made me so uncomfortable I was brought to tears. Obviously, I am happy to comply with rules given by staff, but when they are portrayed in such an ugly manner I’m left with no choice but to leave a review like this. It’s...
