It was our 18th wedding anniversary and we were greeted and congratulated by at least 3 different people. The Anniversary card and champagne toast was also a very heartwarming touch as well thank you! Our server was fantastic and very attentive to us throughout. Our food was delicious and we brought home enough for another meal. We couldn’t have had asked for a nicer evening.

Took 40 min before waitress stopped at our table we did 2 trips to the bar for drinks on our own while we waited ( bar was great) for service. Waitress was very sorry and blamed it on hostess for not telling her we were seated. She did an outstanding job. We missed the beginning of the concert at the Coronado. Great hotel- just a bad night of service. Will go back
