RUN.....GREAT brunch spot with EXCELLENT Food and SERVICE‼️ WE will return for our next event 🤩✨🎉✨‼️
Excellent food and service. Love going there. Took kids and they have a great kids menu too. Will plan to go back soon.
Food was good, but expensive for what you get. Service was slow because they were busy, but got better later. Got seated near the bar unfortunately, which was noisy, but otherwise ok.
We sat at the bar & had the very best service from the bartender & server! They made our Christmas most joyful!
The buffet was NOT overcrowded so there were no long lines. I also liked the way that the serving areas were dispersed throughout the restaurant.
We came Christmas Eve 2025 the service was impeccable the food was delicious and as always they went above and beyond. Worth every penny!!
PS the Cadillac Margarita was DELICIOUS!!!

Went there for dinner and was very dissapointed at their food. I ordered a steak and shrimp and my wife chile relleno plate. The shrimp was super salty and the steak was raw and rubbery. My wife's chile rellenos were very watery and bland. The guacamole had too much acidity and salty,too. Very dissapointed with this restaurant to say the least. I will say that the servant was excellent. He was constantly asking if we needed anything else. This place sucks for being regarded as a $$ restaurant.

No one greeted us at the front, had to wait for a while for someone to seat us. Service was nice but slow. Food doesn't taste as good as I remember. It took a long time to receive our check as well. Overall, not the best experience.
Attended a Birthday lunch an enjoyed. My margarita tasted like it had no alcohol in it. We had to order a extra shot. And there was a dog in the restaurant. A regular house pet. Just about 3 tables down. Someone mentioned it to the waitress and she just shrugged. Like as if maybe someone said something to them but didn't do anything. A guest mentioned thats very unsanitary to have pet dander, flying around the air, getting into people's food. It was not a service animal at all. And it smelled like dog.

I made reservations for 6 people and the hostess sits us at the bar and the bartender was our server, it was the worse service I have ever experienced there and I have been coming to this location for over 40 years, I went over to one of the veteran servers and told him about my experience and he said hopefully next time we get him, hopefully they’ll be a next time, Paco’s Tacos in Culver City is waaaaay better!! Won’t be coming back here for a long time

Our server, Ernesto, was so nice and very efficient. You can really tell that he’s a very hard worker, and so attentive. He stopped by many times to check on us and always seemed to read our minds (refilling chips, water, etc). Amazing service and great food!

Everything was good, they only had the regular beer though. And the table spoon of corn cake is ridiculous but good.

It was loud but the food and service was exceptional. They were checking in often to see if everything was good and they were quick at picking up the dirty plates as we went back for more.
They had quite a variety for Thanksgiving . Would liked apple or pecan pie they just had apple . But it was all good .
Awesome experience. Great optuon for Thanksgiving dinner if you have a smaller party ND don't want to cook. All options of Sunday Brunch + all turkey dinner favorites . Great price!
