Thank you Chef Antonio. That was simply Amazing!
I enjoyed the Sotol Salmon and Shrimp. The orange and grapefruit salad underneath was delicious and refreshing too. It would be a crime not to enjoy it as it pairs perfectly with the meal.
If you happen to get Shelby as your server, you’ll enjoy the perfect meal. Mine was finished off with the key lime pie. I’m one happy patron!
We have always enjoyed date nights here. This year we went for the Mother’s Day brunch and it was impressive. The execution was exemplary. To be able to dish out grade A dishes in a buffet setting is a challenge. Antonio and his team did this and made it look easy.
Not a pleasant experience.
Food was cold.
French toast should not have char and then plated with the char side down, seemingly to hide it?
Cute spot.
Live music was a nice touch.

Claraboya Scratch Kitchen & Bar offers a memorable dining experience with delicious food and exceptional service. Despite being located in the hotel lobby, the restaurant stands out with its unique menu and welcoming atmosphere. The food is different from most menus in town, featuring items like calamari with chef's flair seasoning and light spicy sauce, as well as cowboy shirt steak tacos with Oaxaca cheese. Large portions such as seafood pasta, burgers, and bison meatballs are very enjoyable and satisfying. Gluten-free options are available for guests with dietary needs.
The atmosphere and service are top-notch; the staff provides guidance and explains the menu with genuine enthusiasm. Starters like calamari and fried green tomatoes with pork belly are elegantly presented and full of flavor. The rib eye steak is perfectly grilled, paired with a cheese cream sauce that enhances its richness. The swordfish, grilled to perfection and served with a peppery sauce, is a highlight for seafood lovers.
For brunch, the donut holes are outstanding, with the lemon flavor adding a nice touch. The chicken and cornbread are flavorful and moist, while the egg salad with bacon, lettuce, and fried green tomato sandwich is a generous dish that can be shared. The restaurant is also known for its excellent bone marrow ribeye, cooked to exactly medium rare, with the bone marrow adding a rich, amazing flavor.
Guests should note that the restaurant does not accept cash or Discover credit cards, so payment options should be prepared accordingly. Overall, Claraboya offers a food experience that surprises and delights, making it a hidden gem for foodies seeking something different. The staff's willingness to accommodate off-menu requests and the high-end atmosphere elevate the dining experience, with occasional live entertainment adding to the enjoyment.
