   Went there for birthday. Food was ok but really expensive. Cocktails weren't good. Waitress was good but the rest of the staff including the manager were poor at best. Would not recommend.

   This is a nice looking restaurant in the hotel lobby of the Sheraton. The menu was tiny.. 3 appetizers, 2 sandwiches to choose from and desserts. It took about 40 minutes to get our food and they got our order wrong. The Cesar Chicken salad I ordered was overdressed and very small with very little chicken. It was garnished with anchovies and quite fishy, not the normal hint of anchovie in a Cesar. Also, way too much cheese. My husband’s burger was fine but the fries were soggy. I would not recommend this restaurant.

   We were there for Mother’s Day brunch. The price was absolutely absurd for the food provided and the food was subpar. There was no view to enjoy and the service was extremely slow. A 24% tip was tacked onto the bill when we had 7 people. I am extremely disappointed and recommend not eating here unless there is no option.

   I visited the restaurant for the Mother's Day brunch and the food was decent, but not worth $120 a person. Nonetheless, I was having a fair time until I got my bill and saw that I was charged a service fee of 24% for a "large group of 20". It was just me and my 11 year old daughter there. I asked the waitress about the fee and she said it was a gratuity pool for the staff for setting up the buffet. By that time, I had already written down an additional 25% gratuity on the receipt before I realized that service fee was added. So basically they got a 50% gratuity out of me. If that is customary for this type of establishment that fine, but it was enough for me to write this review and never patronize them again.

   The Mother's Day Buffet brunch was amazing. Every single thing we had was excellent, and all in our party of 7 were happy. It was very expensive however.

   They couldn’t find my reservation through Open Table so we were sat at a high top in the bar area. We came for Mother’s Day Brunch at $120 a head. The food was good but not at that level. They they add a 24% gratuity on the total bill. I would have tipped well but 24% automatically on a buffet seems excessive to me. Anyway, left disappointed with the experience.

    I took my mother here for the Mother’s Day brunch. I knew in advance the cost was pretty high for this buffet. I was ok paying as the menu looked like it has some great food. We were sat outside which we requested but had I known the door from the outside area to the food was so loud I would have requested to be inside. Every 30 seconds or so the door would slam as people walked through. We ordered bottomless mimosa’s for $18 each which I thought was a pretty good price actually. The server continued to fill the glasses with champagne but never orange juice. She realized about half way through she never brought us any orange juice for the table. She was not very attentive which is pretty understandable for a buffet brunch as customers typically don’t need a whole lot. The food was good, not $120 a person good but I knew it was Mother’s Day and the price would be inflated. The fruit was fresh, there were crab legs, prime rib, and other seafood. The real kicker was when the check was delivered. There was a 24% service charge!!!! 24%!? The server was no where to be found for some time so I went to the host stand and they said it was due to the buffet and extra work that went into that. I was paying as if I hosted an event there. I was shocked. Unfortunately that was never disclosed to me that I would be paying the extra service charge on top of the high price of the meal. After the bill was paid I was pretty disappointed with the meal and overall experience. Due to the inattentiveness of the server I didn’t even get my money’s worth of bottomless mimosas.

    We've gone to the mothers day brunch for a few years now. I don't recall it being this expensive in the past but still decided to take my family this year. The staff is great and the food is good but the price has driven us to think twice about attending in the future. It's safe to say that other families thought the price was too high this time around and didn't go because it didn't look as busy as other times in the past.

    Poor service but paid a premium for food. Took a long time for 1st & main course. Drinks empty with infrequent service by staff. This restaurant was requested by locals. After dinner I asked if they would come back they said no. The restaurant was clearly understaffed but also fairly empty. Maybe need time to recover post COVID. Food was good but not a positive restaurant experience.

    We visited for Easter Brunch and to get straight to the point, the service was excellent the food was terrible. I ordered the classic eggs benedict and the pork loin as described on the menu, was just a small piece of canadian bacon that was hard and chewy. The breakfast potatoes were overcooked, hard and totally inedible. Ive never met a potato I couldn’t eat and this was a first for me. My husband ordered the Grand Marnier Brioche french toast and there was nothing special about it, it tasted exactly like regular bread fried in egg and made at home. My daughter purchased the lobster risotto and both the lobster and risotto were both overcooked. A $26 unedible dish. She did not eat it. We thought at one point we were being punked. There were 5 of us at the table and we ordered more things such as clam chowder and fruit plate. I’ve never written a review before, but I would have appreciated if someone would have written an honest one about this restaurant. There clearly was no real chef cooking anything. Overall we spent $240 for a breakfast brunch and it was terrible food. Really bad. The service on the other hand was very good. Lots of attention from waitress and other wait staff. Manager came over twice. We probably should have told someone how bad the food was, but since it was Easter, we decided to laugh about it—the unexpectedness of it—and enjoy our day anyone. We will definitely not be going back. What a food disappointment.

    Ambience was great as it was not crowded and quiet. However disappointed in the Easter Brunch options, food taste, and drinks. Was willing to splurge this year and let down by the weak menu and taste. Wouldn’t suggest for any occasion.

    Very disappointing! Both the filet mignon and the rib-eye were unevenly cooked. They well-done in some spots and raw in other spots. The chicken thigh was so small, it looked like a Cornish game hen. The scallops (2 orders) both had small stones in them. The Brussels sprouts were fire spicy hot. The only redeeming feature was the waiter, Scott, who was very attentive. At at $423.00 , including tip, it is only a matter before we will be talking about this restaurant in the past tense!

    This restaurant is located inside the Westin hotel. Nice ambiance and service, but extremely overpriced for what you receive. We went their on a recommendation, but I would never go back again. The food was just okay, nothing amazing. Portions were very small and again, way too overpriced!!! They charge you $48 for a filet, which is fine, but no sides included. It’s $12 for a side! And that was with every dish. You had to pay extra for sides (12-$15) If I’m going to pay these prices, I would go to Mastros!

    This was a girls night out celebration. We went with numerous recommendations from friends and reviews. The drinks were great, especially the Lavender Blossom fizz. The charcuterie board had 2 different meats, one was a salami and the other was a thin prosciutto type, one soft and one hard cheese, grapes, a strawberry, blueberries, chutney, fig jam, coarse mustard and sliced bread. This was the best food choice of the night. The filet mignon, ordered medium rare was served medium. I had to saw the medallion beef. The fist size of beef was left unfinished. The cream spinach was milky, watery and had no flavor. The garlic mash potatoes seemed like it was instant with zero garlic or butter. I would recommend this place for senior citizens who have bland food requirements. It’s always disappointing when you go out and know that my own cooking surpasses what is served. The wait staff was attentive, refilling our waters, removing plates and bringing new flatware. The overall ambience was pleasant, clean, heat lamps on the outdoor patio which looks out towards the ocean. I would recommend this place for cocktails and appetizers only.

    My daughter and I had lunch there on Thursday, March 31. It was fabulous! We decided to invite our friends from Laguna Beach for lunch on Sunday, April 3. It was horrible. Our table was dirty, service just ok, took too long to seat us (No one was in the restaurant, It was Noon). The food was in no comparison to what we had on Thursday. The hamburger tasted like a frozen patty with no flavor. The bun was different. The Cesar salad was not tossed or tasted the same. When I informed the manager, he tried making excuses for every complaint we had. Nothing was comped from our bill but he did give a toy to my 13 year old granddaughter. Bubbles! He had no management skills what so ever. I have worked in the hospitality industry for over 16 years. I will not be visiting the 20/Twenty again.

    First time we have been here was several year before the pandemic. First visit it was great. Second also prepandemic, was good but getting worse. This visit was the worst yet. Bread was great. Steak was ok. Salmon special was good to great but kids ordered plan pasta with butter and somehow it arrived inedible. Caesar salad was meh….. for a pricey meal too much was meh. Service was good, sunset great, location good but man they need to step up the food game. Bland shouldn’t happen. Ever hear of salt?
