Awful Service, Disappointing Food
My experience at this restaurant was largely negative due to awful service and disappointing food. From the start, there was no acknowledgement of my food order, and I had to ask to confirm my choices. Throughout the meal, the server never checked in to see how the meal was. The salmon Benedict was particularly disappointing, featuring the thinnest salmon I've ever encountered. My wife's Benedict had solid egg yolks, and when she brought this to the manager's attention, he offered cold hollandaise as a remedy. Despite informing the server about an upcoming appointment and requesting the check, we had to waive him down to pay. I will not be returning.

Excellent Hotel Restaurant Experience
My experience at this hotel restaurant was great! The receptionist was very attentive and immediately showed us to our table. Our water glasses were filled right away, and our server promptly took our drink orders. We enjoyed our entrées and then decided to have dessert. It was a very good experience for a hotel restaurant. Thank you!

Great Atmosphere, Bland Food
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was great, receiving a 5-star rating. However, the service was only rated a 3, and the food was a significant disappointment, scoring a 2. I ordered the $50 ribeye, expecting it medium-rare, but it arrived well-done and completely lacked flavor. My wife's ravioli was similarly bland. While the ambiance was enjoyable, the food quality did not meet expectations, especially for the price point.

Excellent Food & Service, Noisy Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of excellent food and service, but a very noisy atmosphere. The food and services were excellent, with the reviewer rating them a 5 out of 5. However, the place was very noisy, which made it difficult to relax and enjoy the dinner. The reviewer noted that there was plenty of free parking available.

Convenient hotel restaurant with good food
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. It’s very convenient as it is located just inside the hotel. The food is good and it’s not very expensive. I wish I had more time to try their sushi.

Hidden Gem with Stellar Food
My experience at this restaurant, a hidden gem inside the Marriott hotel, began with a birthday celebration. We started with a refreshing Del Mar Spritz (aperol, elderflower, sparkling wine) and a most delicious filtered sake (Junmai Ginjo). The yucca fries were a perfect bite, being both crunchy and fluffy, complemented by chimichurri and spicy mayo. However, the star of the show was the fish. The Hamachi sashimi offered a perfect balance of texture, while the spicy yellowtail sushi was very tasty with avocado and just the right hint of spice. We continued with another round of 'ring of fire' sushi, which was yellowtail elevated and seriously spicy, absolutely delicious. To finish, the California roll with real blue crabmeat was simply phenomenal. Everything seemed a perfect blend of freshness, the right spice, and elegant presentation. This would have been a 5-star review if the atmosphere was a bit more cozy.

Fresh Sushi and Friendly Staff
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. We stayed at a nearby hotel and decided to try this place for dinner. The sushi was freshly made and really good. I also found the staff to be very friendly. The atmosphere was great, and the food was excellent.
