Poor service, valley parking jack up the price $40 but when check out $60 charged. We have only appetite and cannot wait for anymore to order the entry

Brunch was very underwhelming. The food was okay, but not something I’d order again or go back to . The fried chicken and Greek fries were delicious though as was the espresso martini (a real glass would’ve been nice not a plastic martini glass… I understand if you’re sitting by the pool you want to give them plastic but it’s very clear we were not there for the pool)
I also was very confused that by sitting outside we were charged a 20% pool bar service charge. We were given the option to sit inside or outside so since the weather was nice, we opted for outside. If I knew by making that choice, I was gonna get a 20% surcharge I would’ve just sat inside.
Honestly, I’ve had better at other places with no random service charges to sit outside. It cost us over $200 for 3 people with the service charge, 2 alcoholic drinks in plastic cups, 2 waters, coffee, 3 small meals, and 2 sides.
For the amount of money they are charging I expected much better.

We had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at this beautiful establishment. Everything was top-tier, from the moment we exited the car to making our way to the elevator to being seated. We had an amazing waitress, Alyssa who had great recommendations. The food was delicious, the views was calming and the music topped it off. Great overall experience.
Came here with my friend. Made a dinner reservation days ahead and confirmed with the restaurant. Even with that, we were waiting more than 10 minutes for the table, and the hostess was rude and acted like it was a huge inconvenience to seat us. When we were finally seated, we went with the server's recommendation for a drink. When she first brought it, I thought that she had brought a tasting sample. I was in absolute shock when I realized that the presented drink was our $24 cocktail. Ended up spending over $100 for two drinks and two appetizers. We were ready to have a full dinner, but once the drinks and food came out, we decided to wrap it up and ended up going to a different place. I never mind paying the price for good food and good drinks, but this felt like an absolute rip-off. As a 5-star hotel, I cannot believe that they are serious about this restaurant. The food was basic, and I cannot think of a reason why people would come back here. I wish I had read some of these reviews, and am honestly surprised to see any high rating. The view is gorgeous, but the service and the menu were something that I cannot recommend. They add a 20% charge just for sitting by the pool, and the staff acts like its a huge inconvenience that you came. Spend your money somewhere else.
We had the lamb meatballs, eggplant and feta dip, and was delicious! The tabouli didn’t seem as authentic, missed the tomatoes, And not any onion And i paid 5 bucks for 1 pita cut into 4…that kinda was a rip off to me. The service was VERY slow. We seen our server once every 30-45 minutes and it wasn’t even that busy. Beautiful spot and location, mostly the outdoor seating!
We went out for dinner on Saturday, 5/17. The place was absolutely packed! We were a party of two and were seated inside, but the space was so tight that my friend’s chair kept getting bumped, at one point, she nearly had her drink spilled on her.
For appetizers, I had the half batch of oysters (hard to go wrong there—no complaints), while my friend ordered the lamb meatballs. Unfortunately, the bread served with the meatballs was incredibly hard— to the point of being inedible. You could crack a tooth trying to bite into it.
For my entree, I ordered the 18oz bone-in ribeye, cooked medium. It was overwhelmingly salty—I couldn’t eat it. The fries, which I had to pay extra for, ended up being the only thing I truly enjoyed. I also tried the Tropical Old Fashioned, but it was underwhelming—barely any trace of alcohol and nothing memorable.
We ended up boxing our meals and leaving. The total was over $300, which felt excessive for such a disappointing dining experience. It was certainly an experience—but not one I’d return for.
$33 for a warm, pre-batched espresso martini that tasted like sadness in a glass? Be serious. For that price, I expected something handcrafted, chilled, and at least remotely drinkable. Instead, I got a lukewarm caffeine crime.
The bartenders? Rude for no reason. Gave zero energy, zero effort, and full attitude like we were the problem. Sorry we expected… service?
The vibe? Absolutely cursed. The atmosphere felt like a haunted Abercrombie from 2009, dark, weird, and filled with people who looked like they crawled out of a Reddit thread. Just straight-up bizarre energy everywhere. No one was hot. No one was fun. We were so uncomfortable we considered faking an emergency just to leave early.
Literally nothing about this experience was good. Drinks? Trash. Service? Nonexistent. Crowd? Weird and crusty. Save yourself the time, money, and therapy bills. go anywhere else.
I went on a Friday night with a reservation for 4 people. We were given great service by our waiter, however our first round of drinks took 30 minutes to arrive. We understand it gets busy on Friday night, so we decided to get some appetizers while we waited on the bar. We ordered a mezze plate (humus, feta, & eggplant dips) which was yummy but came with cold pita.
We decided to add an order for the burger and the chicken kebabs. The burger was split for us on 2 plates, and we were charged for an extra side of fries although we didn't ask for any additional sides or for the burger to be split. The burger was fine.
The chicken was served on a hot plate but was cold and RAW when it arrived. We ate a few bites and realized it didn't taste right. As it was dark in the restaurant, we shined our phone flashlight and realized the chicken was completely pink & raw on the inside. We sent the chicken back, but it was not removed from our check. We had to request it be removed. A manager was not sent over to our table to remedy the situation and make it right. All of us who ate the chicken got sick within a few hours of eating it.
For a restaurant of this caliber & reputation, we were really disappointed. Our drinks, food, and apps ended up still being $100+ per person. Would not recommend for any occasion other than a quick drink at the bar. There are much better options on water street.

I was expecting the drinks to be different bit I enjoyed the food and vibe would have loved to sit outside since there was seating but was denied.
First time here and it was exceptional! Started with an Anjou Spritz and Hummus with Sourdough Pita which were all fantastic. They were able to accommodate a bottle of bottle from their other restaurant (which was sold out) but their Somm recommended another great bottle from the same region! We had the Grilled Spanish Octopus which was perfectly cooked and the best flavors on an octopus dish I’ve yet had. We shared the Swordfish Kebab as our main which was spectacular! And finished with the Pistachio Kataifi **chef’s kiss** and their Banana Espresso Martini which was absolutely amazing!! The private balcony dining felt especially exclusive! Our server Nathaly and the backwait Jordan were phenomenal!! We will definitely be back!
2 bartenders for a bar that should have 4. 3 jackets(assuming management) walking around not doing anything but taking up space. 5 security and im sure they're doing their job but one was literally guarding an empty balcony. Like what is going on here after midnight? It's a joke. At midnight, the bartenders were discouraging me from ordering to the point I thought they were closing. When I asked, they said last call is as 2am. Had me baffled. The next bartender eye rolled me as if they were inconvenienced by having people at the bar after midnight at all. THIS IS A 5 STAR HOTEL. WHAT IS GOING ON. Food is great though and they handled an argument very professionally so kudos I guess. But what is going on here???? Maybe I just caught an off night. Will update on my next experience!
Great experience. Beautiful views, amazing Mediterranean cuisine.
Had a great time for my birthday. First time at the restaurant, and I loved the view from the balcony, very cool. The server Armando made it even better with his great attention to detail and personal touch. He made us feel like family.
Will go back again.
