    The food and presentation were good. The hotel ambiance was good. Unfortunately our service was extremely slow. While not packed, we had to wait 20 minutes for a server to come to our table — and only after we asked. One of us ordered a drink that didn’t come with the server the next two times he came to the table. It took 2 reminders after the order for us to get that drink. After we provided our credit cards it took another 15-20 minutes to get the cards and slips back — despite the waiter going to other tables near us in the time. We wanted to love this place but the long delays ruined what would have otherwise been a great dinner.

    Overall the food was good though some dishes were fives and one was two. The server was friendly and nice but the kitchen and bar was very slow and the timing was off. The restaurant is nicely appointed with nice views of the marina and it was a quiet space. Parking was easy and it was free for two hours with a restaurant receipt. Overall it was a good experience.

    When we arrived for our reservation at 6:30 there was nobody in sight to seat us. Servers would walk around and not acknowledge us. We waited for at least five minutes and then. There was no sign telling us to come in and sit down or wait so we didn’t know what to do. Finally, we gave up and walked in towards a table. We found about six people standing around talking, including what I assume was the manager. We picked our own table and sat down. It was a long wait before a server came to take our order. We ordered our drink appetizer and dinner all the same time because our time was a little bit limited. We received our appetizer and it wasn’t until finished our appetizer that the drinks (wine) were actually brought to the table. The food was excellent, but the service was the worst I’ve seen in a long time. It looked like there was only one server serving 5 tables. I was without water and no server in site for most of the meal. I might come back for the ribeye which was excellent, but not sure I want to endure the wait. Since there were a lot of hard surfaces in there,It was very loud even with only five tables being filled. Live music was too loud and too upbeat for dinner. I couldn’t hear what my husband was saying so we had to scoot the chairs together. Overall- for a meal that was over $200 for two people, I can get better service elsewhere..

    Great dining experience for both dinner and brunch. I was happy they were open late and had lots of options available. The weekend brunch was amazing but Sunday’s was exceptionally delicious. I visited the restaurant four times during my stay in San Diego it was that great! Five stars the service and staff was amazing no complaints.

    Our reservation was at 8, the hot buffet items were barely warm. Omelette was good, and fruit was not quite ripe. The waiter tried to charge us $7 more a person until I showed him the text message showing the price. Way overpriced for what you get!

    It wasn’t very busy and we had two tables reserved and it took the hostess getting a manager to make the decision to put us together, I think one other party came in after us, it was dead. Live music was supposed to be till 10pm but ended at 7pm right after we got there. The service was just ok nothing great, the food was just alright so how expensive it is you would think it would be amazing. Not a lot of menu options either. Overall just another hotel restaurant trying to be upscale but it’s not working out.
