   The service is top notch and the food was amazing. You have to try the shrimp and grits appetizer.

   Very aesthetically pleasing and delicious food. Had a dinner date and tried the Prime NY strip. It was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back!

   We did the Valentine's Day pre fixe menu. Overall ok experience. The oysters - we each got 1- were frozen. The salad was good. The Sole was ok, but it was one fish for 2 people- not a lot for the main dish. Dessert was nice to look at, but the red powder on the chocolate heart stained our fingers and white napkins. The red velvet cake staked in viciously chocolate was super rich, the chocolate covered Strawberries were great! Great tableside brownies and ice cream. The special drinks of the night were overpriced. I had a great mocktail, but I had to special order it, as I was told their mocktail menu ended in January? Our server was great. Our table was in the middle of the room, but the door to outside was always open and the wind coming in had us all wearing our jackets. I'd like to go back to try the regular dinner menu on a regular night.

   A bit over priced $330 for 2 people but we did have 3 deserts to sample. But the new remodel and the outside seating with the over head infrared heaters is one of the best seats in HB & Pacific City!

   Beautiful, picturesque views of the Pacific Ocean from the patio. Our server was very personable. Downside was they were out of some beverages on the menu that we wanted, but the server made up for it by comping one drink. Overall a great breakfast experience while staying in the hotel!

   Surprisingly not busy for a Saturday night with many open tables around us, however the noise level was still extremely loud. We chalked it up to the tile floors everywhere inside. The location, ambiance, decor, and pricing has all the trappings of a sleek and modern upscale restaurant and the service was almost there.... but the bar was slowwww and the food was disappointing. I wanted a Wagyu burger which came out in a perfectly round circle - like something very processed and thawed from a bulk freezer pack, and it lacked flavor. (Would not recommend - you get a much better burger at Chili's). My husband had the cod and he really enjoyed it. We were excited about the Rosemary fries, but it lacked any rosemary flavor at all. In short, I think this restaurant has potential, but at the price point they needed to deliver on the food and just didn't.

    Service was a little slow. We were one of three tables around 5pm. Poki was flavorful however, you couldn’t taste the tuna. Ribeye was served “warm”, fried rice was served cold. Filet was excellent. Ordered Carrot Cake for dessert. Recv’d three small round cakes. Nothing like the photo from their website. Ends up that we were served dessert from a catered party. (Per one of the waiters) Not impressed.

We also apologize for the mix-up with the carrot cake and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll make sure our desserts match the quality our guests expect. We hope you’ll give us another chance to improve your experience in the future.
