“I’ve enjoyed visiting Sunrise Bistro for breakfast. The convenient parking and manageable wait times make it a hassle-free spot for breakfast or brunch. I’ve tried a few dishes, like the carnitas and eggs, but my favorite by far is the smoked brisket and hash, which has become my go-to order. The only area for improvement would be the coffee. Better quality coffee and fresh creamer would really elevate the breakfast experience. Overall, it’s a nice place to dine in for breakfast or brunch.“

“The food was absolutely incredible and very well prepared. The service however was less than satisfactory. The Server walked up after an "almost" irritating wait and dropped off water and said she would be back. After another now irritating wait, she comes back and says, "What do you want for dinner?" We both said, can we start with a drink? So, orders placed, drinks come just as it starts to become noticeably irritating, and she apologizes for the delay. The food arrives and is absolutely amazing. She checks back after dinner to see if we want anything else and then presents the check. We give her a give card with a very large balance which has been successfully used at two other nice restaurants recently. She comes back and says the card doesn't work and usually doesn't work for them as their systems are old and not up to date. Don't know if we will return, but the Chilean sea bass and the Steak Frites were amazing.“

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner at the Citrus Grill. The food was deliciously prepared and well presented. The service was professional and attentive. Chris Presilla (Food & Beverage Manager) and Chef Travis (Executive Chef) were most helpful throughout the planning process. It was a large table of 11. They made the whole dining experience a scrumptious and fun one. It is located in the hotel and may get overlooked. It is a great place for casual dining and for special occasions. The bartenders are friendly and mix a mean cocktail. Check it out.“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“

“Our service was pretty horrible but the food was really good. Way better than I thought it would be. I was disappointed that I asked for a buttermilk pancake for my daughter and they brought a chocolate pancake. Fortunately my daughter was okay with it but it bothered me that our server didn't listen to my request. Also, I ordered the spinach and mushroom omelette and there were zero mushrooms in the omelette. It was still really good but I was like what the heck, there aren't any mushrooms in here. Also, beverages are insanely expensive. More than $4.50 for a hot chocolate. Everything was good and we enjoyed our food but the service was pretty horrible and it's kind of insane that our tab was $38, including tip, just for me and my daughter who had a kid's meal.“
