Our server never came back after taking our order, though we could see him still taking care of other tables. Luckily another server noticed and brought us fresh drinks and such. We had the Pendry’s breakfast, breakfast sandwich, and a side pancake. Food was fine, just not the quality I’d expect for the price.

The service was very nice, the food was disappointing..do not order gluten free pizza, it is horrible. The other pizza in our group was average. The"special"with veal was average.. Unfortunately, will not be back, unsure how it had such great rating except for the the service.

Couldn’t figure out how to cook the wagu skirt steak. Nice server but he forgot a glass of wine that was ordered and then disappeared after dessert for 30 min. He never came back and we settled tab with someone else. We weren’t charged for the steak and the staff was friendly. Off night I guess but not worth $120/person.
