   Food was mediocre. Went for Christmas Dinner. There was a limited menu, which wasn’t mentioned before hand and also out of many dishes. We had an earlier reservation, so was shocked that they were out of food items. It was just ok. Maybe we were there on a bad night, but probably wouldn’t go back.

   Christmas night dinner. It was full house and the staff was on point making sure each guest was being attended too. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Great place for a special meal all the time.

   We booked a table for Christmas Eve dinner expecting to sit by the window as I requested a reservation pretty far in advance. The host directed us to sit in the back by the noisy kitchen. I told him I had specifically asked to sit by the window which was way less noisy and thankfully he accomodated us. We were also expecting to see on the menu steak and scallops, which neither were offered and yet in the ad it said "look what you have to look forward to," both items were included. Hmmmm I was disappointed but ordered the salmon, which was fantastic. My husband was looking forward to steak but had to settle for the tri tip steak which they offered to him in lieu of the other steak. It was way overcooked and a bit tough. Now, mind you they made an exception for my 88 year old husband, but he could hardly chew it. He did love the flavor so he enjoyed some of it non the less. My daughter ordered the carbonara (which was not hot) because nothing she wanted to order was on the Christmas menu, like the oysters or shrimp cocktail. Again, she was disappointed because the ad showed this was an offering for Christmas dinner. They did accomadate us, however, and all was well in the long run. The compped us 3 desserts and my daughter's martini. All in all it was an enjoyable experience other than the food situation. The employess were exceptional! We have eaten her before and the steak and scallops were exceptional. We have also ordered many a pizza. Thank you!

   We enjoyed our Christmas Eve dinner here. We were warmly greeted by someone who, as it turns out, used to live not far from where we live in Southern CA. It was a nice connection to make. Our appetizer was the shishito peppers, which had a really nice garlic sauce. My wife had the salmon entree, which had a nice crispiness on the outside and was perfectly cooked. My prime rib was also perfectly cooked - very tender. For dessert we had the strawberry fig tart - delicious. If we lived in the area this is definitely a place we visit regularly.

   Pleasantly surprised. We stayed at the Hotel Cerro and ate here expecting a hotel restaurant experience but actually the food was very high tier and delicious. The Branzino was a piece of whole fish super meaty and well roasted. Service was great as well. Very well cooked food and we will be back sometime again. The restaurant is a tad bit noisy even with only a few people cause of the brick walls and high ceilings. It's slightly odd that they don't allow same day OpenTable reservations since it was pretty empty when we went. The one negative I'll mention is that they kept the temp really cold for some reason like it almost felt unheated. Not sure why. Turn up the temp guys! Anyway, good food and that's what matters and the rest of the stuff can get worked on.

   The atmosphere was electric, thanks to the wonderfully attentive manager, host, and waiter who made our dining experience unforgettable! My son indulged in the salmon, and he couldn't stop raving about it—he declared it the best he had ever tasted! To cap off our fabulous dinner, we delighted in the decadence of s’mores brownie and luscious blueberry crumble à la mode. What a thrilling end to an incredible meal!

   Delicious meal however the portions are very small considering how much you pay for a dish. Ambiance is nice, service was good just small portions.

   Our first time there, and we decided to go Thanksgiving day. There was no disappointment at all. My two brothers and I ordered the short rib, and it was perfect 👌🏽 My husband had the salmon, and he enjoyed it very much. Our server was Bianca, and she took care of us very well. Overall, we loved it and will return. Thank you, Jb

    Very disappointed with our Thanksgiving dinner experience. We were originally going to be seated outside until we asked to be reseated. Tables were not set and it was very cold. When asked to move, we were sat at a two top right next right next to a table of 4 when there were plenty of other tables available. The champagne was flat and we had to ask for a new glass. Most frustrating was our turkey dinner was served cold to both my wife and I. We asked for a warm dinner and they obliged. They returned with warm plates but the food was still cold. We notified the waitress and nothing was done other than to offer us a complimentary dessert. My wife called today to speak to the manager and was disconnected. She called back three additional times with the phone going to voicemail. On the fourth attempt she left a message and we are still waiting for a call back. I would not return nor recommend this restaurant at all. There are much better options in town that will value you as a customer with better food.
