I don't usually write reviews but I feel like it is important to share my experience eating here. I ate here a few days ago, food was great, and the atmosphere was nice. However, I was very disappointed by my overall experience. I gave the bartender my card to open a tab, however my mother and my grandmother ended up splitting the bill. Both my mother and my grandmother were charged for half, and I was charged for the entire bill, and additionally was charged for half the bill as well. I am here on vacation and was very upset that some of the money I had saved up for this trip was taken out of my account. It took five days for the refund to come back. I work at a restaurant so when I go out to eat, I hold other places to a certain standard. I was barely given an apology, it was made to seem like it was my fault for giving them my card to open a tab. No accountability was taken, and I just think it is important for other people to be made aware because this was absolutely unacceptable. The full check was $106 and some change, and I was charged the full bill, and then also charged $53. My mother was also charged $53, and my grandmother was charged $53. I am not happy with the way it was handled and I absolutely would not return to or recommend this place, which is disappointing because the food was delicious. I understand that mistakes happen, but when mistakes do happen, management needs to do better to right their wrongs to their customers.

Been coming here for years. Hidden gym in mission valley. Always friendly staff and great times!

Great outdoor space, very roomy, open and good for family/kid time if need be. But not kid like, very shishi if no kids. Big opening from bar to outside area, like a resort should have. The bar inside is gorgeous, super cool, and roomy too. Perfect to stow away or get together with a big group. 6 hour validation parking close to the bar!!!

This bar offers a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, whether you choose to hang out outside or sit indoors. It feels like a reminder of vacation time. The food is quite good, and the drinks are decent.

Fun times at this new place that is tucked in between the apartments and hotel. Great seating are, eye candy, and drink.

The staff was a little slow but not bad.

The drinks tasted a little light on the alcohol but I did catch a buzz, so it’s all good.

Parking: Was there for 2 hours and paid 15 bucks. The parking was steps away from the bar.

Is a beautiful bar, we went for happy hours the funniest thing we order drinks and we where going order drinks again and they ask for a glasses to bring the. And they will serve a new drink in the same glass....if you check the guide lines of health department you don't do that or does matter if you are in happy hour you must have a new clean glass for another drink it does not matter who is buying or happy hour...is unbelievable the guide lines of this supposed high end hotel honestly please be careful when you go is sad.

Park in the site garage, they’ll validate your ticket.Just order a pizza at the bar and take a seat anywhere in this comfy, spacious but cozy space. Service was amicable and thoughtful, and the funghi pie was delish.So-Cal chill vibes, lovely dinner, would go back.

Cody the bartender rocked my world with those drinks! Awesome bar knowledge, made my a wife a "dealer's choice" drink that was so good, I thought she'd leave me for him. Clean bathrooms, solid stalls.
