Código 1530 proudly bears the Jerusalem Cross as its logo and the symbol of its heritage. This iconic cross is part of the Jalisco Coat of Arms, which dates to 1530. Our name honors “Los Códigos,” the old-world codes and customs that shaped and still live on in Amatitán and the Los Bajos region. These values are at the core of the proud families who served this tequila in their homes, and the artisan distilling family that has been the custodian of this private tequila for generations. Código 1530 uses only the highest-quality inputs and age-old secret family processes. A perfect evening for Tequila enthusiasts and newcomers alike!

Whisky Club Featuring "Teeling Irish Whiskey"
$105.00 per person
Aug 1, 2025 only
Join us for this month’s Whiskey Club, featuring "Teeling Irish Whiskey". Enjoy expertly crafted Irish Whiskey tasting paired with small bites designed to complement each pour. Whiskey making and entrepreneurship has been in the Teeling genes as far back as 1782, when Walter Teeling set up a small craft distillery on Marrowbone Lane in the industrial heart of Dublin City. Since 2012, Jack and Stephen Teeling, the latest generation of Teeling Whiskey makers, have been putting their own mark on Irish Whiskey and came full circle in 2015 when they proudly opened the new Teeling Whiskey Distillery just down the road from where the original family distillery once stood. The Teeling Whiskey Distillery today is the first new distillery in Dublin for over 125 years. Pricing per person $105 (plus 8.25% tax and 24% service charge) There is no cancellation fee if cancelled 48 hours ahead of reservation time. Within 48 hours a $50/person cancellation fee will be applied to credit card on file.
Whisky Club Featuring "Patron Tequila"
$105.00 per person
Sep 5, 2025 only
Join us for this month’s Whiskey Club, featuring Patron Tequila. Enjoy expertly crafted Tequila tasting paired with small bites designed to complement each pour. A perfect evening for Tequila enthusiasts and newcomers alike! Patron Tequila Home to a legacy of Craftsmanship Our tequila-making process takes place at Hacienda Patrón where we only make PATRÓN Tequila. And we take pride in everything about it. From our eco-friendly reverse osmosis irrigation system to the agave byproduct, we recycle. And most importantly, in the people involved in making our tequila—60 hands from beginning to end. Pricing per person $110 (plus 8.25% tax and 24% service charge) There is no cancellation fee if cancelled 48 hours ahead of reservation time. Within 48 hours a $50/person cancellation fee will be applied to credit card on file.

Went for the Mothers Day Brunch. I don’t feel that the value for the money was there. $105 per person, it was all you can eat but food was fair to good and not a great deal of choices. Premium foods were prime roast and oysters on the half shell but I don’t eat oysters. I really feel that they need to lower prices or up their food choices in order for me to go there again.

Dear Chasa, Thank you for joining us for our Mother’s Day Brunch. We're sorry to hear it didn’t meet your expectations in terms of value and variety.

We (my family and I) have eaten at the Special Holiday Buffets several times over the years. We have thoroughly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, entertainment, and superb service. We have recommended this place to many of our friends who took our advice, and they too have enjoyed the Ballantyne Buffet events. I highly recommend the Ballantyne Ballroom Buffet for your next dining experience.

Dear Zebria, Thank you so much for your continued support over the years! We're truly honored to hear that you and your family have consistently enjoyed the food, atmosphere, entertainment, and service at our special holiday buffets. It means a lot to us that you've recommended us to friends — and even more that they've had great experiences too. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Ballantyne Ballroom Buffet for many more memorable occasions! Thank you, Erin Bucher Director of Food & Beverage

Yikes this was not worth the hefty price point. Service was very mediocre. No refills offered, had to flag someone down to get a coffee and then again for cream. Felt like our presence was a burden. Pastries were good, but savory food was just okay. That photo station was really junky for this price point you should have splurged on a fresh flower arch not a wrinkled plastic sheet from Amazon.

Unfortunately, this experience did not live up to the Ballantyne Hotel’s reputation. The food was good, at best. Not great or exceptional. I honestly can’t say there was a single menu item I’d describe as exceptional. I have many fond memories of money well spent at this location’s various restaurants, their spa, and even staying with the hotel and using room service. I’m not sure when I’ll go back after such a mediocre experience, especially at such a high price point.

Your comments have been shared with our culinary and management teams as we continue working to improve every aspect of the guest experience.

We enjoyed the Easter brunch. We arrived earlier than our reservation;it was not a problem as we got seated immediately. The food was delicious and there was something for everyone. The desserts were plentiful and they had food that appealed to children. But that’s where the brunch experience can be a bit overwhelming. One can only eat so much food no matter how much is offered. The price of the experience was quite high and it did not include any drinks. We could have given a voucher for at least one drink per person and charged for additional. (I’m talking about alcoholic drinks specifically.). A 24% gratuity was added to our bill. While the service was friendly and fast, getting drinks and taking away dirty dishes, that too seemed a bit high for a brunch. We have dined at the Ballantyne Hotel in the past and it was a lovely experience. But we will likely not do a brunch again. Perhaps adjust the cost of the brunch down a bit and decide how to do the drinks. All in all, we had a pleasant time but will make other arrangements in the future.

This was ostensibly a Whiskey tasting event. While the whiskey quality is a personal opinion it was a fun event and the presenter was witty and knowledgeable. She kept the event entertaining. What was unexpected was the accompanying food offerings. We served a four-course dinner, which was not anticipated by me. That being said the meal was good but uneven. The appetizer was one of the best I have ever tasted. It was a Tuna Tartare on Avocado. That description does not do it justice. The presentation was a piece of art, and the tastes were incredible. The salad dish was well presented but not to my taste, although the dressing was quite good. The main plate of Pork tenderloin was not particularly eye catching, and the pork itself was dried out. However, everything else on the plate was very tasty. The dessert was also a visual delight and a delicious ending to the dinner. Service was as expected in a plated dinner for a group.
