    Enjoyed a marguerita pizza and the Kalifornifation cocktail. Spouse had the chicken Caesar wrap which was fresh and delicious. We learned they have a daily happy hour.

    Club sandwich

    Had Sunday brunch here this morning. We definitely will be back next time we're in town. Our server, Miguel was friendly and attentive. Our table ordered the 86 Steak sandwich, the Club sandwich, a Scramble di Manzo, and I had Avocado toast. Everyone loved their meals. The avocado toast was delicious, but a little too spicy, so I probably would not order that again. Recommend!

    Service was great, the staff is super friendly. It's a darker atmosphere with TV's to show sports games if you're trying to watch, this is a great place for that. There is a pretty large menu with lots of options, for adults and kids. They have mocktail menu for kids and sober friends.

    Met a client and he recommended this place, the waiter told us the owner owned 39 dominos so clearly pizza was his thing. Waiter Highly recommend "Breakfast Pizza" and it's not what you would assume eggs on pizza crust, there was no eggs at all however it was excellent! What I also loved was the pizza isn't heavy it's thin so you don't walk away feeling bloated. Location was clean service was friendly no issues at all. I would 100% come back.

    Beet salad

    We had the pleasure of dining here last night, and it was truly an amazing experience. The establishment was quite busy, so I would highly recommend making a reservation. We were fortunate to secure a table by arriving early, and the hostess was exceptionally gracious. We chose to sit on the patio, which offered a delightful atmosphere and allowed us to appreciate the beauty of El Paso street. Our server, Michael, was outstanding. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoroughly explained the menu, going above and beyond, which is a rare and commendable quality these days. The food was simply amazing; everything from the appetizers to the lamb chop and the beet salad was excellent. The pizza was fantastic, the shrimp scampi was delicious, the salmon was perfectly prepared, and the chicken dish was also delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish, and our compliments go to the chef. This is undoubtedly an amazing restaurant, and they truly deserve a Michelin star or similar recognition. I highly, highly recommend it.

    Steak special was super tough and chewy. I highly doubt this was a prime NY sirloin cut. Cooked a nice medium rare though.

    Got the NY prime special, nothing special unless you enjoy chewy tough steak. Service was good as well as the vegetables that came with it. Would probably never go back.

    I was surprised how much I liked this place on El Paseo. The Boom Boom Shrimp is a must. My husband and I shared a salad and a pizza that as soon as it came to our table we dug right in (no pic taken). The Mexican Bee Sting cocktail was perfectly crafted. Really enjoyed this place!

    Nice mural, this was the closest we got to food.

    In the grand tapestry of dining experiences, there are those that delight the senses and those that leave you questioning your life choices. Unfortunately kitchen 86 landed in the latter category in an unexpected evening. We arrived to the hostess table and were promptly greeted with warm smiles which seemed to be a promise of great things to come as we were almost immediately seated at a cute cozy booth close to the dueling pianos (one of whom I was a friend of and excited to see perform that evening). The booth was clean and featured a cute candle flickering away beneath a giant pizza wall art! Little did we know that this was the best service (and only service) we would see that night. After perusing the menu, which boasted an array of tantalizing dishes from artisanal pizzas to gourmet pastas, we eagerly awaited our server to take our order. Minutes turned into what felt like an eternity while we watched as other tables around us were served with steaming plates of food, laughter, and clinking glasses, while we sat in our own bubble of neglect. The atmosphere, once inviting, began to feel like a cruel joke. Failed attempts at flagging down one of the MANY staff running around for SOME sort of service but to no avail. We had long since finished browsing the menu at length picking out appetizers, drinks, entrees, pizzas..... but still nothing. The night was carrying on but unfortunately the performance and feast of music was not enough to satisfy our hunger. So finally after over 30 minutes of sitting... waiting.... And trying our best to be patient we felt defeat. The once empty quiet table next to us had new guests who were seated and greeted by an eager and attentive server who began to take their drink and food order while we sat waiting still. At 34 mins we made the decision to give up and seek sustenance elsewhere leaving our cozy table... not that any of the staff noticed. In conclusion our experience at kitchen 86 was nothing short of an epic tragedy. I left with an empty stomach and a full heart of disappointment. If you're in the mood for a meal that never arrives, this may just be the place for you. Otherwise, I recommend seeking out an establishment and skipping this Kitchen "404" .

    Nice place located on El Paseo. There's a nice outdoor seating area and some seats inside. There's a bar in the middle and some lower tables and booths with a big screen that was showing a football game. The lighting was pretty moody and there was a piano covered in the middle of the room so maybe they have live music sometimes? I came with my husband for their happy hour which is 12-5 Monday- Thursday and 3-5 on Friday- Sunday. We made it just in time and there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant. Service was okay. We got our food brought to us along with water and a carafe but other than that we weren't checked in on often. I didn't really mind though because we didn't need much and might've been out of the way tucked away from other parties. We ordered pizza and the steak. I was pretty disappointed in the portion size but maybe because it was from the happy hour menu it was a bit smaller. The steak was a good cut of meat but a little too sweet for my liking. The pizza was just pepperoni but the crust was actually really good. It tasted almost like garlic bread. There were other options on the happy hour menu that might've been worth it to try but I'm not sure I would come back here or would recommend others come. I wasn't blown away by anything but I did feel like the happy hour prices were pretty good.

    I went on a Friday night with my aunt. We sat outside and we were glad it wasn't too hot out. As someone who doesn't drink, I'm glad they have mocktails. Our waiter was friendly and knows the menu very well. We shared brussel sprouts (without the bacon, as I'm vegetarian.) My aunt had the Scampi Borracho, there was a little kick to it that she liked. I had the margherita pizza and as someone who loves NYC pizza, this one is fairly good and the crust is good. I can't wait to try more!

    Yes, they do. They were pretty effective when we were there.

    Are they open? I keep calling and says they're closed for the summer a d that they'll see us in September...I pretty sure September is almost over...?

    They never closed during the summer. They are open 7 days a week and have live entertainment every night.

    What kind of sauce is the salmon in?

    I can't recall- it's been awhile-- and hubby ate it- he believed it had No sauce.. just seasoned very well

    What are the happy hour times?

    I don't but I know there are two reserved time blocks for happy hour with the second one that goes until 2 a.m.

    When is the happy hour?

The wedges were good, but I didn't like the grilled peach pancake as much as I thought I would and wished I would have got the lemon blueberry. Portions were big, and I took half to go. Hubby got the chorizo con papas omelet with hash browns cooked extra crispy and a buttermilk pancake. The omelet was really good, and the hash browns were cooked well. The pancake was a pancake.

The rooms are slightly dated. Not disastrous. Not horror story energy. Just giving we have seen a few seasons. You can tell the property wants a little refresh in some spots. Very White Lotus if White Lotus had a more budget-conscious cousin. The pool was clean though, and that goes a long way. Especially when you are at a family-friendly place and one bad pool moment can ruin the whole trip. The bowling alley and games for kids were honestly a strong save. That part gives the property some real personality. It is the kind of setup that keeps children entertained and keeps adults from having to hear "what are we doing now" every eleven minutes. The staff was amazing. Warm. Helpful. On it. That was probably the best part of the stay. They gave the whole experience more polish than the building sometimes had on its own. Good staff can carry a property far, and they definitely did some heavy lifting here. The gym is really small, and it could use an update bad. A few newer machines and a little more space would make a huge difference. Right now it feels like an afterthought. Like they remembered fitness at the very end and said okay put two something somewhere and let God handle the rest. The bar and food were decent. Perfectly fine. Nobody at the table was offended. Nobody was composing love letters either. It was the kind of meal you eat, nod at, and then fully forget by the next afternoon. Not bad. Not brag-worthy. Just there. Overall, this is a great stay with some fun family-friendly perks, a clean pool, and great staff holding it all together. It is not luxury-luxury.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich.

The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.
