    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 The wine menu was outdated and all but the most expensive wines by the glass ($32 / glass) were terrible.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.

    Our first visit and we had a wonderful evening. The ambiance is casually chic and decor fresh and inviting. We went specifically for the music and Art of Sax is so entertaining….. dancing music, terrific vocals by female lead singer and special guest Horace Miller! And of course Will Donato is an amazing artist on the sax.
