It took about 30 minutes to get a salad with grilled chicken and a chicken caesar wrap. Did love this restaurant but unfortunately will not be back.“

“Some of the best if not the best food I have ever eaten! Would drive from Arkansas to eat there. Oh, I did! Staff was outstanding. Would highly recommend.“

“This courtyard hotel is a bit nicer then the standard courtyards. The lobby is clean and new with lots of nice sitting spots. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony (gold elite). The staff was very helpful, our room seemed newer as well. Good location near ASU and lots of stores and restaurants within a short drive.“

“Chef Luna and her team do an amazing job! Ignore the reviews about elevator rides (doesn’t have one) and it being overpriced. The food is comforting and locale is unbeatable for BRMC. I look forward to bringing all my guests there to get the full BRMC experience.“

“They were very under staffed. This made service very slow. Food was good, but didn’t like the changed chicken and rice.“

“We had a party of 10 come in 08/10/25 with no reservation. We had to wait about 20 minutes, our server was Wendy. She was AMAZING. She was so nice, patient, kind to my grandkids. This woman was running the bar, washing dishes and being a waitress. She needs a HUGE bonus because she did ALL this with a smile and such a kind voice. I really hope the owners see this message.“

“We ate lunch with our friend here today. We sat on the patio with our German Shepherd. The staff was so friendly. The drinks and food were amazing. My gf is gluten free and she really loved the menu. My sweet potato enchilada was so delicious. We can’t wait to come back the next time we are in town:)“

“Loved the atmosphere here! Very family and pet friendly spot. Good drink selection and a lot of different food options. Our waiter was also super cool and helpful. I’m also not a huge fan of loud atmospheres where the music is too loud and you can’t even have a conversation but this was a perfect environment!“
