    We come regularly and really enjoy the ambiance, food and service. Had a new wait person this visit, he was nice, but a little pushy, but nothing to make the evening a poor experience.

    The tuna tartar was excellent. The truffle fries were also excellent. Beyond those two items our collective dinner was a flop. The mussels were well over cooked and did not seek very fresh too. The seafood paella was average. It seemed more like a dish of rice with some seafood set on top. It did not live up to the reputation of EDK. Finally the Rissotto with Salmon had to be redone. It had extreme salt and was not edible. It was sent back and even the second attempt was far below par. We had a most unfortunate experience for $335 for 3 people.

    We decided to come here while checking out the El Dorado Hotel, and were not disappointed! Such a lively spot. They also do special promotions where if you book a room you get a dining credit. Came for dinner (mussels, truffle fries were standouts) but will have to try breakfast next!

    Three of us had lunch at the restaurant. We ordered the Poke Bowl, Paella, and Margarita Pizza. Each dish was good, but not fantastic for the price. The Poke Bowl was a little bland. The Paella could have been seasoned better, and the Pizza was okay.

    Salads were great!! My favorite oysters! Their homemade fettuccine was awesome! Our drink orders came completely different than what we asked for. Paid a lot for the add on of broiled whole lobster tail. It was tough and chewy. Been here a lot and will continue to. Love it. But will not be ordering lobster and will clarify what we are ordering. I definitely Rex this place.

    We had brunch and it was incredible. Best Bellini I’ve ever had. Chilaquiles on point (says this Mexican Girl), like an upscale version of what you’re used to. Be sure to add chicken. Salmon had a fantastic crunch to it and the Brussels sprouts were great. Be sure to order the churros if you’re not stuffed. Can’t wait to go back and try this place for dinner.

    The restaurant decor was really nice. Our waiter and support staff were great. Our entrees were really good and big portions (chicken with goat cheese raviolis and house made fettuccine). The only disappointment was the burrata appetizer. It was the least favorite burrata dish my husband and I have ever had. Steer clear of it, but everything else was very good! Oh, and no complimentary breadbasket, unfortunately.

    My wife and I eat there often and this was our first meal we left not happy with the food we ordered. The favorite part of my meal was my soup. My wife had the chicken and was really disappointed. I tried and agreed with her. It was dry and lacked flavor even with the other items on the plate to mix with it. We love this place and will be going back but will not order the same items. Sorry but honest review.
