   We have had great experiences in the past. Not this time. To get straight to the point. It says NO SHOW which is not true. We showed up twenty minutes early. The host. Very nice. The menu. Pretty good. The drinks? Very tart. Every drink. No matter what we ordered. Very tart. We sent one back but wanted to send them all back. The food? The tacos? Good, but the meat was cold. Some pieces of beef were too tough to eat. The hamburger? Just okay. But raw in the center. Basically it was like eating a frozen burger that was pulled out to cook minutes before it was ordered. They did take it off the bill, which was nice. Basically after four drinks and tacos and a burger. We felt like we never should have made this reservation.

   Staff was amazing! They really made sure that we felt like we were special and everyone wished us a happy anniversary! Drinks were good and fairly priced! Music was hitting the spot!

   We had a great time celebrating Dr. Robles and Dr. Lanza’s doctorate degrees. Staff was attentive and friendly, the food was great and the view is amazing. I will definitely be back!

   Everything was good. The oysters were way too big, but fresh. The place closes at 10pm which is a bummer since there is a huge wine industry conference happening this week. Spent $600 and could only stay for 2 hours.

   We were not helped for 45 minutes with only 2 other parties in the restaurant when we were seated. 55mins for water and our drinks. Hour and a half to get a plate of salami and the rest of the food was cold. We chose to stay at this hotel due to what we thought would be an easy dining experience but we ended up being late to a Kings game despite our 2hr beforehand reservation. We also noted that it was a birthday in our reservation and due to the extraordinary wait time dessert was off the table if we wanted to make it to the game.

   We arrived with a reservation and they didn’t have a table for us. They said there was an outdoor table but it 40 degrees outside with no heaters. Went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and was extremely disappointed.

   I have to preface this review and state that I work in a high end dining establishment that caters to concerts and events, so I am extremely understanding and sympathetic to what the restaurant was going through this particular evening. I took a few friends out (First time here) prior to the Justin Timberlake concert. We had a reservation. I had to ask for menus… we were brought 1 for the 4 of us. I had to get up again to ask if we had a server taking care of us. Finally after sitting and being patient for 30 minutes, I got up a third time to ask if there was anyone to take care of us. Drinks came out promptly, however food was extremely sporadic and took a long time. Again, it was a very busy concert night, so I get it. Perhaps this is just a learning experience for the restaurant, management team and staff to have a better understanding of how to handle nights like this. I’m not going to leave a scathing review on a night that was clearly busy and more possibly understaffed. Things happen… it’s just food at the end of the day. People who write mean and nasty reviews are probably mean and nasty in their everyday lives AND have probably never worked in a restaurant. There’s a lot to be said there! Restaurant itself has a nice relaxed decor and great views of DOCO. This was just an off night due to a heavily congested night! Hope that was a learning experience for the team and they come back stronger on the next go around!
