   Excellent music on Saturday night 1/4 by a wonderful group of musicians who play the music from the 70 What an evening..!! We absolutely loved the food .. fresh and tasty. The Wedge Salad with blue cheese and the delicious Calamari for the appetizers were delicious We absolutely love also the salmon for the main course and the juicy burger. We appreciate the wines list with lots of choices with international wines and very raisonnables prices. Definitely a wonderful evening .. so much fun Do not miss this place 🙏❤️

   Excellent music and overall ambiance. Interesting crowd, phenomenal musicians ( they charge 6.00 per table which we were totally fine with as they were very entertaining), steak, Mac n cheese and burger were all very good. The chicken salad was just ok & mashed potatoes with the steak were lukewarm, so that’s the reason for the 4 stars for food but I’d give it another try. Our server seemed new and in all honesty wasn’t great based on that but again pretty certain she was new.

   Our experience with Brian, the manager on duty was horrible! I made reservations to be accommodated and that was far from what I received! Reservations, are just that reservations. I should have a table ready for me and my guests…did not happen. Brian was dry, and short with his communication! Never once addressed or even acknowledged my presence! His host was so nervous that he was uncomfortable! After 15 minutes of waiting, we got seated! Mind you, when we arrived many tables were empty , so it shouldn’t have been a problem to be seated! I requested on the reservation to be seated inside, and Brian asked me 2x, do you want inside seats? Dude, read the reservation!!!!! Absolutely, may not return again. Teresa

   We actually didn’t eat dinner here. We were about to order when the band started playing, The band was good, but wayyyy too loud. Our ears hurt from the volume. We had to excuse ourselves and leave before ordering. The staff, however, was lovely… very gracious and understanding. We felt bad having to leave, but we knew the evening would not bring us joy! On the other hand, the breakfasts every morning of our stay were perfect with incredible service from all the waitstaff. Food very good. Johnna was over-the-top wonderful,, anticipating our culinary needs before even having to ask (i.e. always ready to warm up the coffee, etc.).

   The food and service were great but an Elvis impersonator on Christmas Eve took the edge off of what would have been a nice evening.

   The live music was terrific although too loud to enjoy indoors so we moved to the patio. The restaurant seemed understaffed-we had a difficult time flagging down someone to take our oder and the food didn’t come out as ordered. The food was delicious, though. Despite these issues, we still enjoyed the evening and would go again because of the setting and entertainment.

   It was a busy Saturday night and every table and bar seat was taken. But we had a reservation thanks to the reservation app. Food and service was good but you had to flag down the server and make your presence known. The biggest draw back was the noise level was such it was difficult to have a conversation at your own table. Two things- the live band (which was one reason I choose the restaurant) was way too loud for the space and secondly the acoustics in the space itself is poor. Sound bounces off everything. The restaurant needs to re-evaluate the acoustics. It would change the experience.

   Overall the food and service was good. The wine menu was outdated and all but the most expensive wines by the glass ($32 / glass) were terrible. The most annoying thing is the $6 per person entertainment fee that’s included on the bill. We went there for a good meal and to enjoy a little live music. At $200 for dinner for two, a surcharge for “entertainment” is B.S. Won’t be returning at this point…

    We had a terrific lunch here with friends from out of town. The service, food and ambience were all terrific! We have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the food is fabulous. We take people from out of town here, so they can be close to El Paseo, and enjoy this terrific hotel.
