    Hearthstone Cobb Salad
    Julie W.

    Hearthstone lounge used to be just a drop in lounge for coffee and pastries in the morning and drinks and nibbles in the evening. It was always nicely done up with comfortable chairs. Food came from the other restaurants: pizza, hotdogs, calamari etc.. and could take a while. It has nice ac on a hot day. Today, they recommend reservations. It's usually 4 pm to midnight and some days opens at noon. Food was amazing. Service was Excellent. They converted the outdoor fireplace area to their outside seating. It's kind of awkward if you're used to walking out the door by the fireplace. A lot of people don't realize it's the outdoor seating area for Hearthstone but it's still nice. Past visits, only the dessert was good. This last visit, I'm happy to say their Cobb salad was great. It had bleu cheese, chopped avocados, and fat bacon. They brought out marinated olives & nuts to start. Onion rings were hot but not quite right, not crunchy all the way thru even though they were hot. They were still better than a lot of places. The charcuterie was a surprise. See picture below, they have really improved it, good salami & cheeses. The epic 12 layers of the chocolate cake was so good! It was moist and perfect. Even though it was huge, I wanted to keep it all to myself. It was that good. It made the apple tart and cinnamon ice cream so boring. We'll be coming back.

    My sister went to Hearthstone Lounge when it opened to make reservations for dinner. She successfully got one for 7:30pm on a Friday for our party of 6. Our table wasn't quite ready when we checked in, so we hung out in the lobby for another 10 minutes until my sister received a text to return back. We were seated at a table with two couches by the bar. Although the couches were comfy, I wasn't a huge fan of sitting on them because you'd have to sit at the edge of the seat to eat over the table. Our main servers was David, but Rodel came in later for when David took a break. Both servers were great - friendly and highly attentive. I appreciated that Rodel chased after us when he discovered that my dad left something behind at our table. We ordered the truffle fries and habanero chicken wings to share. The truffle fries were mediocre at best. I did not get the truffle flavor at all, and the texture quickly became stale. Loved the habenero glaze on the chicken, which had the perfect balance of sweetness to counter the heat. I was overall pleased with the quality of the entrees. My sister's braised short beef lasagna was so flavorful, and I thought my husband's prime rib was prepped perfectly. I ordered the sea bass, which was fine, but I did find it a little dry. I also think they used branzino instead of Chilean sea bass, because the filet wasn't as thick.

    I'd give a 3.5 but rounding up to a 4. It's a nice getaway from the business of the park inside the Grand Californian hotel. Service was good, everyone was very friendly. Food came out slowly though, felt like 30 min for food and 20 min for dessert. The food was pretty good, we got the charcuterie pizza (personal size ~ there's a larger shareable version of this at craftsman bar), roasted chicken and cookie butter crème brûlée for dessert (didn't like the cookie butter cookie on top but the actual crème brûlée was delicious).

    Thank you to Jonathan for taking care of us! He really took his time to help us with drink recommendations. I think it was safe to say he did a good job since we all ordered a second round of the same drinks. Yes the drinks are a bit pricey but they pack a punch! (You've been warned) Not pictured: truffle Mac and cheese (it's good)

    Truly a hidden gem! Located in the lobby area of the Grand California Hotel... Yes, this was a park day for me... i came to this restaurant for a little breathing room... And the food is Phenomenal. The Drinks?! Can't i say PHENOMENAL X2?!?! LOL

    French Onion Soup
    Michele G.

    Hey there party people If you are in the area of Disneyland you need to make a point of dropping into the Hearthstone Lounge. It is world Famous for its Whiskey collection and the food is top notch as well. I never miss a meal here when I visit Disneyland. Hidden inside the Grand Californian Hotel the atmosphere is great for date night or a meet up with friends. They have just gone through a menu update. The old favorites are still there but we branched out to try the new stuff. Starting with the Onion Rings. I am an admitted Onion Ring Snob, therefore it takes allot to impress me. Consider me IMPRESSED. They were perfect, the coating was soft flavorful not greasy as well as a thick onion. Fabulous. I had the new Grilled Cheese sandwich. I've never had a grilled cheese with arugula and roasted cherry tomatoes it added a level of freshness that was surprisingly tasty. Really elevating this comfort classic. Hubby got the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It came with a hot honey drizzle as well as an egg on top. The egg was perfectly cooked adding a richness to the sandwich. Hubby opted for fruit as his side. The bowl was enormous compared to what you normally receive. The fruit was perfectly ripe...no sour strawberries here Boy Howdy. Of course no visit here is complete without an order of the beyond amazing French Onion soup. Topped with a generous amount of Gruyère cheese, prepared in true French fashion it is manific. Be kind to one another

    Royal petal

    Beautiful upscale restaurant with reasonable prices by destination and upscale restaurant standards. My royal petal tasted as good as it looks. I never used to like gin, but I enjoy anything made with Empress Gin (see also: the Make It Blue Make It Pink at Broken Spell Lounge that is also Empress gin-based). Had a great burger cooked medium rare to order. I was surprised the avocado was given to me as a spread rather than sliced but it does make it easier to eat without avocado slices sliding out of the bun. One son had chicken fingers. I forget what the other ordered, but both cleared their plates. Excellent service.

    Ambience was great. Food is pricey however the food quality was excellent. The wait staff was attentive and our food came out timely. The French Onion soup is the best. So much cheese and lots of onion bits. The drinks are great and made well. We err able to get a discount with our DVC. If you have a Magic Key Pass you also get a discount. May comeback next year. The restaurant is a treat

    We absolutely love the Hearthstone Lounge! It's inside the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel. I definitely recommend making a reservation because it can get busy. We were visiting for a special Disneyland event and came here for dinner the night before. Even though we arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation, they were able to seat us right away, which was a great start to the evening. The service was top-notch! The vibe here is exactly what you'd hope for from the name: cozy fireplace lounge energy with comfortable seating, warm lighting, and a relaxing atmosphere that feels upscale without being stuffy. The drink menu is seriously impressive, especially if you enjoy whiskey since they have an entire whisky library. I ordered the martini flight, which included three mini martinis: The Word, The Corpse Reviver, and The Army. All three were delicious and the portion size was perfect -- enough to enjoy each one without overdoing it. My wife ordered the Curious Cabin, a tequila-based cocktail, and she loved it. The food was excellent too, and we really appreciated the allergy-friendly options, including a strong gluten-free menu. I had the short rib lasagna, which was absolutely delicious. My wife had the hamburger on a gluten-free bun and kept talking about how amazing the bun was because it actually held together -- unlike so many gluten-free buns out there. This is such a fun place to grab drinks, enjoy a meal, and soak in the ambiance. Whether you're staying at the hotel or just spending time at Disneyland, Hearthstone Lounge is absolutely worth a visit!

    The Baseline: For a sit down Dining experience establishment the food flavors must represent the theme of the environment, there must be unique offerings to the restaurant based on the theme, and the experience must be immersive to the theme park experience. Food: The food was good and was above the theme park standards. They have a full whiskey and bourbon library so you can get some high end drinks. I had the roasted chicken (4 out of 5) which was juicy and flavorful. The Truffle Mac and cheese was good (4 out of 5), The Gem Caesar with chicken was just what it called itself (4 out of 5). The drinks were great and the olives/almonds were really my favorite (5 out of 5). Since this is more of a bar experience than a restaurant experience it rates higher for the lounge aspects. Service: The service is top notch and we had a great waitress and waiter. Ambiance: One of the better places to have a Disney meal in the Grand Californian. This is an old school look with Disney flair and makes for an enjoyable Disney evening out.

    Charcuterie
    Jasmin S.

    It's nice coming here for a night cap at the end of the night. I recommend setting up a reservation and talking to the hostess as soon as you arrive so they know you are there. The service is great and the food is delicious. They a have a great tequila selection of fine tequila. They also give you some almonds and olives after you order your food. The ambience is really comfortable and still classy! Usually the bar is full of ppl who have been drinking awhile so I recommend getting a table if you're a couple trying to get a night cap before you go to your hotel room.

    Honey Gintini, Golden Rush Hour, and Curious Cabin
    Aja M.

    My first time dining in while at Disneyland! Usually I'm so ready to be in the park I don't even consider sitting down at a restaurant but it was a great first experience. We had a large group with 4 separate reservations but the staff was able to seat us all near each other. Our server was super nice and helpful anticipating what the little kids needed too. Located in the Grand Californian the place has a cabin-y mountain resort vibe. We were able to walk right in through California Adventure. Our table ordered the Curious Cabin, the Golden Rush Hour, and the Honey Gintini cocktails. All 3 cocktails were really pretty and tasted good. I'd recommend any of them for a lighter fruity drink. We also were given complimentary olives and nuts for starters. For food we got the truffle mac and cheese, the cobb salad, and the prime rib. The mac and cheese was a hit with the kid and had a definite but not overpowering truffle flavor. The cobb salad was a loaded with all the fixings and had plenty of dressing. Lastly the prime rib was juicy and tender. I loved that it came with au jus and it also had a small piece of bone marrow that we were able to spread on one bite that just elevated the meat. Overall a super cool experience and I'm glad I got to try it! Worth making some time for a sit down dining experience during your Disney trip!

    Alcohol Shelf
    Vi T.

    Fancy, upscale lounge with rustic ambience that located inside the Grand California within Disneyland Park. Came after our visit at DCA and Downtown Disney, because the bartender and a few guests at Centrico was recommending us to check out Hearthstone, so we just have to! We grabbed a seat at the bar counter right in front of the alcohol shelf, it looks quite empty because they were in the middle of cleaning and organizing it, but I was able to see the expensive 40 Macallan Wishky bottle in front of my eyes. The staffs were friendly and professional, service was quick, our drink was ready within 10 minutes, Jessica - our bartender was check-in on us from time to time making sure everything is okay. I noticed that, all the staffs here, seems to be loved by the regulars, and I think I can understand why, the vibe they give off was likes: you are their friends, who visited their workplace and banter with them when the shift is about to be over. For drinks: I tried The Empress (with Vodka), it was pretty good at first but by the end of the drink it get more and more sour to my taste. My friend asked Jessica to make him a drink with strawberry flavor, and he said that was one of the best cocktail that he ever had, I would have to agree to that, because by the second round we both asked Jessica to give us the same strawberry cocktails lol. We only stay there for a short hour on Sunday night but it was memorable and I can't wait to comeback here next time, after I go visit Mickey Mouse first.

    September is SepTiki month at the Blind Rabbit. The interior has been decorated tiki style, and…read morethere is a new specialty cocktail menu with eight new tiki inspired drinks. We visited a few times in recent weeks to try out some of the new drinks. El Quetzal (Illegal Caribbean cask mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Campari, lime, pineapple, cane, cardamom). This is a variation of a Junglebird, and has a nice smokiness with light bitterness. It's an easy drinker, and is served in a tiki mug with a lit sugar cube. 3 Rabbits & a Dash (Blind Rabbit Garrison Brothers single barrel bourbon, Kuleana Nanea rum, falernum, allspice, honey, orange, lime). It drinks a little boozy from the bourbon, and is complemented by nice spice notes. Let the Man'Go (Patron 100 tequila, bitter Bianca, mango, rice, lemon). I love drinks with a foam top, and even though it didn't say it on the menu, it was obvious after one sip that the foam was infused with toasted rice. Good balanced cocktail with light mango flavor and rice notes. Velvet Samba (guava, cachaca, Patron 100 tequila, lime, condensed milk). Unique milky looking cocktail. It's guava and lime forward, balanced, and has a little creamy mouthfeel from the condensed milk. Clarified Ango-Lada (Blind Rabbit single barrel Sagamore rye, Angostura bitters, coconut, pineapple, lime). It's served with a nutmeg sprinkle on top. The rye is toned way down from clarification, and it's a smooth drinker. The Cocktail of Week I believe was a type of zombie. I forgot to write down the ingredients but I believe some of them were rum, vodka, raspberry, and lemon. It is served in their zombie mug with a lit cinnamon stick and was good. Dreamwave (Empress gin, barrel aged Curacao, sherry lychee, lemon). I think this was my favorite. It has a nice tart flavor, not boozy at all and balanced. I was sitting at the bar where my drink was being made, and when the Li Hing Hui powder was sprinkled on top, it had a really nice sweet, almost vanilla-ish aroma. I asked bartender Adrian to make me a Captain's Reserve (bartenders own creation) using rum as the main spirit. He made an amazing cocktail with rum, scotch, passion fruit, and some other ingredients I forgot to jot down. It was lush and perfectly balanced with multiple layers of flavor. I hope he remembers that recipe, it was one of the best drinks I've ever had. Adrian, Ruben, and Sergio all provided great service and conversation, and they make some excellent drinks. Hosts Anna and Emma always give a warm welcome and were very friendly. There's only a few weeks left of SepTiki, so visit soon if you're interested in these drinks. Their Halloween theme will be starting in early October.

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

    Strong Water isn't just a place to grab a drink, it is an entire experience from the moment you…read morewalk through the door. We were escorted inside and our hostess immediately started introducing us to the lore of the place: a capsized ship with the space decorated using pieces recovered from the wreckage. The room is VERY dimly lit, and we actually stood near the entrance for a moment while our eyes adjusted, but honestly that just added to the atmosphere. On the way to our reservation in the Captain's Quarters, our hostess gave us a little tour of the main room and even pointed out the bathrooms for later. Once we sat down, we met our bartender, Drew, who was fantastic. He walked us through the different menus, explained the food and cocktails, and really added to the experience throughout the night. I'm normally a whiskey drinker, so I started with the Southeast Spice Trade while my girlfriend ordered the Pineapple Whipped Colada. Both were delicious, but half the fun was watching Drew make them. You could really see the amount of care that went into the craft and presentation of every drink. For food, we ordered the chicken katsu and ahi poke nachos. I was especially excited when the nachos arrived and I realized they were made with wonton chips. I'm a sucker for wonton chips, so those were an immediate win. We obviously couldn't stop at one round of drinks, so next came the Tarobi Colada and Zombie King. Drew told us a little about the history of the Zombie King and gave us a lesson on rum, so I had to try it, plus it came in one of the coolest mugs I've ever seen. The Zombie King was easily my favorite drink of the night. The flavor was fantastic from beginning to end and dangerously smooth. I didn't even realize how much it had hit me until I stood up. Even leaving was part of the experience. We finally checked out the bathroom and the door has what feels like TEN different locks on it. It genuinely felt like I was locking myself inside the bathroom of an old pirate ship. Between the storytelling, incredible atmosphere, Captain's Quarters, food, cocktails, and especially the service from Drew, this was such a memorable night. Strong Water completely commits to its theme without sacrificing the quality of the drinks. Absolutely an experience worth having, and we can't wait to come back.

    We have returned to Strong Water several times in recent months, so it's time for an update. We…read morefirst returned in early June since they introduced some new cocktails and food to the menu. The other visits were just because this is by far our number one place. Recently added cocktails: Buzzin' Jungle Bird (Jamaican gold rum, coffee infused campari, dark rum, pineapple, lime, hemp orgeat, cane, Angostura bitters). This is a great spin on a jungle bird, with some complexity and coffee flavor. I'm usually not a big fan of coffee, but it is at a good level. Chi Chi (Whey vodka, pineapple, lime, date, honey, coconut, salt). This has a great creamy texture which I believe comes from the dairy component of the whey vodka. It is well balanced with some sweetness, and I could taste the coconut and date flavors. Lapu Lapu (Asian rum, Jamaican rum, dry curacao, lime, orgeat, demerara). It is juicy, well balanced, and served with a flaming sugar cube on top. This is the cocktail they chose to serve at their booth at Tiki Oasis recently which says a lot, try it! Thai Me Down (Barbados rum, coconut liqueur, papaya, lemon, demerara, Thai basil). It is served old-fashioned style, and was light and perfectly balanced. Those Thai inspired flavors were all noticeable. Demerara Dry Float. They added and took this one off the menu as of now. It was a balanced light citrusy drink which was served with a delicious sidecar of Hamilton 151 rum infused with banana chips. I sipped half of that and mixed the rest into the cocktail. It was served with a beautiful ice shell. I'm guessing it was too labor intensive, and took up a lot of space in their freezers. Recently added food: Ahi Poke Nachos (marinated ahi tuna, masago, avocado, cucumber, spicy mayo, furikake, green onion). This is such a tasty starter with so many textures and flavors. I love that the nachos are wontons too, and not just chips. Crab & Cream cheese wontons. Nice crisp wontons with a good amount of crab and cream cheese inside. The chili sauce and spicy mayo adds another layer of flavor, and there is a slice of jalapeno on top for a little heat. Pan-Seared Scallops. This was an excellent lighter entrée. The four scallops are cooked perfectly, and even have a little dollop of caviar on top. I liked the mix of veggies and really liked the bed of potato puree underneath. Steak & Eggs (8oz hanger steak, crying tiger glaze, Nam Jim Jaew sauce, sunny eggs, rice). I normally wouldn't try steak & eggs for dinner, but I can't resist a good hanger steak. It was cooked a perfect medium rare and I appreciate that it was pre-sliced. The crying tiger glaze and sauce were so flavorful. There's plenty of rice to soak up any left egg yolk or sauce. Recently added desserts: Dubai Chocolate Lava Cake. This was excellent, but it's definitely sweet and rich. Save some room if you plan on ordering this. Ube Flan Cake. I'm usually not a fan of flan, but I have to try anything with ube and this was good. The cake had nice ube flavor, and I liked that the flan was a little firm since the looser custardy/gelatinous texture is not for me. This is definitely a lighter dessert than the lava cake. It's not a new drink, but I also had the Naval Grog for the first time. (Lost Voyage rum, overproof white rum, allspice dram, lime, grapefruit, demerara, honey). It is boozy with nice spice notes. Other repeat cocktails enjoyed were Tales from the Black Lagoon (my favorite), Missionary's Downfall, Agave Parrot, Singapore Sling, and Serpents Grasp all of which are excellent. Their cocktails, food, ambiance, and service are always top notch. Thank you Ying, Erica, Greg, Jordan, Joey, Iris, Karen, Kyle, Joy, and John for your wonderful hospitality during our visits. We will return again soon!

    Had a lovely time on Saturday after lunch at the Anaheim Packing District. I had always passed by…read morethis place and never went in, even though the outside looked so cool and fascinating. When we entered, the inside felt like we were in the inside of a train, there were various train themed decoration scattered throughout the walls and floors. My girlfriend got the sex in this city cocktail and I opted for the painkiller cocktail. Both were stunning and delicious. Lots of different photo ops for you and your loved ones as well as movies playing behind the bar. We also loved our bartenders, who made our drinks with ease and were knowledgeable in the different drink items. Overall, would definitely visit again!

    I had been looking forward to coming to this bar for a long time, so unfortunately, the experience…read morewas extremely disappointing. We arrived about an hour after opening, and the bar already felt completely unprepared. The bartender was eating food at the bar while we were there, and after getting our initial drinks, we were essentially left on our own. She never checked back with us, and not once were we asked if we wanted another drink. For a place I had been excited to finally visit, this was easily one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The service was inattentive, the atmosphere felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left a very bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

    This place was such a treat! Where many restaurants around downtown Disney if you don't have a…read morereservation, you have to wait in line, here you can put your name down and they will text you. Ultimately they delayed us by 10 mins after returning to the text and they were so sweet and gave us a free dole whip for the error (and yes! Real Disney dole whip not in the park!! What a treat!) Once we sat outside, we were in front of ukelele players performing which was so fun. They even did some songs from Moana which my daughter loved. I popped inside to use the restroom and that was equally enchanting. We got the appetizer plate which we all loved and the short ribs with a side of the mac salad. Everything was delicious! And toddler approved. Overall this was a highlight of our Disney trip- service, food, and vibes included!

    Trader Sam's is always a must for us, and a huge part of what keeps us coming back is the drinks,…read morethe hospitality and the amazing bartenders! Stephanie, Veronica, and Melissa are all fantastic bartenders and we are always sure to grab a drink when we see them at the bar. They consistently make our cocktails perfectly every single time, and you can tell they really know their craft and care about the guest experience. They're incredibly attentive without ever making us feel rushed. They give us time to enjoy our drinks, take in the atmosphere, and decide what we're in the mood for next while still making sure we're taken care of. That balance of great service and letting us enjoy the experience is something we really appreciate. In terms of drinks the Mojitos and specialty cocktails are to die for. They're always perfectly balanced, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Whether we're in the mood for something tropical, fruity, or a little stronger, they always seem to know exactly what to make. What we especially appreciate is that they're just as creative when we don't feel like drinking. They've made us customized mocktails that are just as fun and delicious as the cocktails. It's not just a basic juice or soda thrown together. They actually take the time to create something unique based on what we like. When it comes to food I recommend the pupu platter, salmon and ramen. They are some of my favorites! The pupu platter has a nice variety of foods that can definitely be shared amongst friends. What I especially love to come for though is a late night bowl of Ramen. Their broth has so much depth and flavor, not to mention the noodles are always cooked perfectly. Trader Sam's is always such a great experience for us. Great drinks, great service, great music and bartenders who genuinely care about what they're serving. We always look forward to coming back

    Guys, if any of you follow me and you're looking for a great date-night spot, your lady would…read moredefinitely appreciate this one! RISE is located on the rooftop of the Westin Anaheim, right across from Disneyland. They have live music Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, which makes the atmosphere even better. I forgot our bartender's name, but he was very attentive. I had a friend meet me, and as soon as she sat down, he already had a menu ready for her. I definitely appreciated that kind of service. Now let's talk happy hour--YES! The crispy fries were so good, the pizza was amazing, and the drinks were absolutely on point. They also offer valet parking. I believe the first hour is free, but it can get a little pricey if you stay for a couple of hours like we did. And one of the best little bonuses: if you're there at the right time, you can watch the Disneyland fireworks from the rooftop! Such a nice touch to an already great night. Definitely a spot I'd recommend for date night, drinks with the girls, or happy hour with a view.

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday dinner with a group of 8, we had a reservation for 9pm…read more They validate parking for 2 hours, which is nice given that it's $25 an hour. Because of this we were all conscious about time. We checked in around 8:50pm but were told that we had to wait for half our group to be present, this made sense. We had the full group by 9pm and were told that the table was being cleaned. It took a little over 20 minutes for our table to be ready. It was disappointing that it took so long for our table to be ready given that we had a reservation. We got to our table, which was all the way in the back, given we were a large group we didn't mind. However, we couldn't see the fireworks, which was a main reason to go there. No one came by to take our order for about 20 minutes. I was looking around for a server but since we were in the back nobody saw us. When I flagged someone down they said they would let our server know we were here, when she arrived she said she didn't see us. The food was good not great, some items were better than others. The poke nachos were the most popular, they were loaded with toppings and the flavor was good. Our friend ordered the wings and said that they tasted like frozen wings you buy at the store. We ordered a couple of pizzas but were thrown off because they had raisins on them, which wasn't specified on the menu. The saving grace of the night was the accommodation from management. We asked if we can get an extra hour of comped parking since we had to wait almost an hour to get our order taken, even though we had a reservation. Luckily they accommodated this request. All in all, I had higher expectations given the reviews and location, but the food and service were lackluster. If you're here casually, I think it'd be cool. However, if you're celebrating an event, I wouldn't consider hosting it here.
