“1st time at this venue. All I can say is, how could you possibly improve? From the moment we stepped on the property, your entire staff was welcoming, polite and on their game. Everyone treated the guests with the utmost personal service as if they were long time friends. Job well done Rincon. Not to mention the food was beyond delicious!! Would definitely recommend Events by Rincon.“

“We just came back from Europe last July. We dined in The Ledbury by Chef Brett Graham, and at The Dorchester by Alain Ducasse, also at four different Michelin Star restaurants in Montpellier, and finally at Bistrot64 by Chef Giacomo Zezza and La Pergola by Chef Heinz Beck in Rome. I am not listing all these restaurants to brag but just to make the readers aware that I am a food enhusiast (in my opinion). Dining at Caruso’s again, my impression? The over-all experience was SUPERB! It was really a THREE-Michelin Star experience! Whenever we dine in these kinds of restaurants, I am always searching for the surprise effect in my palate. One of my favorite movies is the cartoon about a Rat Chef, Ratatouille, when he was describing the mélange of food in his palate and fireworks appeared in his mind, and when the scary critic was brought back to his childhood after he had the first bite of this simple peasant dish ratatouille, those are some scenes that come to mind. The meals are like that in Caruso, they are exceptional! Of course, I have to mention the impeccable service of everybody particularly of our main waiter Alejandro and his assistant Ana, and the Sommelier of the night, forgot his name but he looks like Tom Cruise. And the ambiance? Oh, our view was the beautiful pink sunset across the Pacific and the gentle waves of the ocean. Caruso should have attained the Three Michelin Star status already!“

“I had not been to local in a while because the last experience was not so great but this time was wonderful. I love sitting on that lovely patio and our server was delightful and what my friend and I ordered was absolutely delicious. So hats off to the restaurant for making some changes and I look forward to coming back before long.“

“My husband and I went to Lucky's for brunch. We were served a complimentary Mimosa. My husband had a Beef Dip Sandwich, and I had a Reuben sandwich with a Caesar Salad. For dessert I had a Salt Turtle Sundae, and my husband had a piece of warm pecan pie with ice cream. Everything was delicious! The service was very good. The atmosphere is so wonderful, with pictures everywhere of Hollywood legends. We have dined at Lucky's on several occasions and have always had a great experience.“

“Server at the restaurant was extremely rude. Not a big option of choices for food with people who have fish and shellfish allergies so don't go there to eat

Dietary restrictions: None they cross-contaminate everything so if you have allergies, do not visit“
