    We decided to check this restaurant out because it is across the street from the Fox theater. We had plans to see Judy Collins and concert, but she postponed we ended up going back to the restaurant and spending several hours there having appetizers and cocktails. I was really impressed with the interior of the hotel and the restaurant. Parking was easy. We use the ballet right in front of the hotel the staff and the restaurant in the bar were very attentive, including the manager who came to check on us. We decided when we go back in February to see Judy Collins we are going to spend the night so we can walk back across the street from the Fox theater and relax some more .

    The menu is limited but there is enough variety and the food is good. Wine prices quite high by comparison with the very same wines elsewhere. Everything decent until we wanted to leave to catch a concert across the street. The waitress disappeared with our credit cards. Fifteen minutes later we tried to find her. Finally, she returned with excuses and the Manager with more excuses. Late for the concert due to an inexcusable service failure.

    I made reservations to go before the theater. Reservations were confirmed a couple of times. We arrived and were told they were not serving dinner that night (Sunday) they only had a bar menu. Appetizers. They should have called me but didn’t and explain no dinner. Waitress said it happened to someone else as well. Very bad business to not communicate.

    We loved it! Calamari appetizer, just the right amount of breading, and fabulous sauce. Salmon Bowl was beyond our expectations, big chunks of grilled salmon, rice with cabbage, black beans, corn jalapeno crema....loved it. Nice portion too. Ended with mini churros and vanilla ice cream. Our server Emma was prompt and courteous. We will be going back ... maybe try the brunch. Calming atmosphere, nice decor and artwork.

    Although we had made reservations through OpenTable for 5:00PM in the restaurant, we decided to get drinks at the bar a little after 4:00PM. We asked the bar tender if we could just order off the bar menu and cancel our dinner reservation, which the bar tender said we could do and he canceled the reservation for us for the dining room. We ordered the Quesadillas and Chicken Wings along with drinks. When the food came out the Quesadillas were very good. However, after trying a couple of the Chicken Wings it was very evident the meat was 'off' just by its stale taste. We informed the bar tenders and told them the issue and that we wanted to send them back and get more Quesadillas instead. The bar tender who had been serving us was very apologetic and didn't charge us for the wings nor the replacement Quesadillas. While the front of house staff handled the situation well, the Chicken Wings should NEVER have even made it out of the kitchen! I mean, chicken of all things should NOT leave the kitchen and be served to a customer if the chef suspects the chicken as being as bad. That, to us, was a show-stopper. Of note, although we only had a couple of the wings between us, we both upset stomachs shortly thereafter. Not good! If it had not been for serving the bad chicken I would've given 5 stars. But, while the service and ambience was good, I gave 2 stars for serving chicken that should never have left the kitchen.
