    We made a reservation but we were never seated nor approached by any staff. When we finally were able to ask someone for help they redirected us to another restaurant.

    Stopped in for a bite before a show at the Performing Arts Center. Food was truly delicious and high quality. Service was fast and very friendly. We’ll be back.

    The bartender needs to mix with the correct alcohol based on the orders.

    Service was slow and unfriendly and the cost was very high for such poor service. Food was good, but again very expensive for basically being in the hotel lobby.

    Amazing food and great service from the bar tender. We were a bit skeptical because there are no dining tables; it really is a repurposed hotel lobby bar with couches, small tables and of course the bar. We chose the bar and were not disappointed. We had the king salmon roll, lamb chops and ahi tacos. The other fun thing about sitting at the bar was talking to the other people, interesting folks from all over. The people next to us had sliders and wings and also said they were amazing!

    Food was delicious and server was great but the restaurant was understaffed unfortunately. I had a lot of people in my party and it took a while for the food and drinks to come out. But everyone raved how tasty it was.

    Food very good. Service was super slow. Prices through the roof! One would expect at these price points there would be more service staff

    A very nice hotel bar, with a small-ish food menu. Quality of drinks and food were excellent. Service was very good (waiter gave us good drink and food choice recommendations). Great decor and ambiance.

    We enjoyed the pot stickers and lamb chops quite a lot. Our friends had sushi and tacos that were excellent. Everything was very flavorful, and some dishes were spicy in honor of the Day of the Dead. We were also fortunate to have a dance and drum entertainment. Service was fairly attentive. The dishes came quite quickly as we were dining early before a concert. We were finished with perfect timing so we could attend the pre-concert lecture. And had dessert as well. A bit pricey, but very pleasurable. We'd definitely go again.
