    The place is nice unfortunately the waitress was a bit rude you can tell he’s fed up from dealing with requests . He was literally with his gloves on over simple questions. I felt he was like pushing us to just order and get the hell out.

    I was staying in the Kimpton and made a reservation here for my wife and i, and the food was excellent, and the service was great. You can also take your unfinished drinks up to your room if you're staying in the hotel.

    The tropical crudo ceviche was delicious - perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The asago was so tender that I didn't use my knife once - the meat fell apart with my fork! And it was served still smoking! Waiter was very attentive and the manager checked on me, making sure I was okay (I had requested a table out of the way due to having my service dog with me, and they gave me the perfect table, even though it was for 6 and I was dining alone - very accommodating!) Definitely recommend!

    Dear Alison, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tropical crudo ceviche and the asado—it sounds like you experienced exactly what we aim for: bold flavors, thoughtful presentation, and tender, perfectly cooked dishes. We're also very glad to hear our team took good care of you and your service dog. Providing a comfortable and welcoming experience for every guest is a top priority, and we're so pleased that the seating worked out just right. Thank you for the recommendation—it truly means a lot. We hope to welcome you (and your pup) back again soon! -Area 31 Management

    Food was delicious! Service not so much. It was a quiet night and we got very little attention. Sad if you consider the prices!
    Area 31 - Epic HotelResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Ann, Thank you for your honest feedback. While we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, we’re truly sorry the service didn’t meet expectations—especially on a quieter night, when attentive service should be a given. We understand how that can affect the overall experience, particularly considering the price point, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We'll be following up with our team to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance—we’d love the opportunity to provide the full experience you deserve. - Area 31 Management
