We arrived for a late lunch and were seated right away on their lovely outdoor patio…read more Unfortunately, service was slow from the start, it took quite a while before anyone even acknowledged us, and for a while, we weren't sure who our server was. Here's what we ordered: Mango boba - surprisingly tart and could've used a bit of sweetness Peanut chicken salad - flavorful and refreshing, with noodles at the bottom Fish tacos with sweet potato fries - the beer-battered fish was crispy and delicious While the food was solid and the patio atmosphere was great, the service really impacted our experience. When we were ready to pay, it was difficult to get our server's attention. My husband eventually had to approach her across the patio, and she processed our payment while standing right there. It seemed like they were short-staffed the day we visited, which might explain the delays, but the lack of attention was still frustrating. Overall, good food and a nice setting, but I'd give it 3.5 stars due to the service issues

Got there around 6:30, place was busy with the after work crowd…read more Found a table towards the back, and got seated. Server showed up at the table within a couple minutes of us getting settled. Extensive menu, lots of choices for both food and drinks. We ordered, and while it took a fair time to get our order (again, it was busy, so I get it), it was so worth it! Our table got a BLT sandwich with tots, a clubhouse with tots, a wild boar smash burger with fries and a chicken wrap with fries. All the food looked picture perfect, and we all had nothing but good things to say about our meals. Our server was honestly a breath of fresh air. Very personable, and despite the bustling atmosphere, took time to have some quick conversations with us, which was a pleasant surprise from the usual bar/pub serving staff. That, along with the food, is the reason we will be back!!

My server was the fantastic Jackie. Down-to-earth friendliness, efficient and helpful. We got along very well. I opted for their Fortunella Gin with Tonic. Fantastic flavors and quite smooth. Two of those and I was feeling fine. For lunch I ordered the Steak Sandwich with a Caesar Salad. The salad was substantial and tasty. The steak sandwich had good flavor, but was tougher and fattier than I hoped for. Jackie also offered exceptional assistance with some merchandise I bought as well. My first visit to Last Best will not be my last. Thanks Jackie!

This was our first stop after landing from San Diego and we both enjoyed our visit. It was a…read moreTuesday evening, so the place was a little quiet, but it looked like there was plenty of room for big and small groups. Started with the gyoza and salt & pepper wings. The wings stole the show; they were crispy and flavorful. I asked for a side of their buffalo sauce and LOVED it. I got the chicken sandwich after that. I wish it had a little more sauce, but still enjoyed it. The side of fries were nicely crisped and tasty as well. My partner order the curry rice bowl with tofu. She enjoyed it, and appreciated how much tofu was in the dish. The beer was great too, which was a pleasant surprise coming from the San Diego beer scene. Finally, our waitress was super friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend stopping by.

It's a classic pub vibe, with a decor that matches its name, but it's the food that really took me by surprise. The table had a round of Shafts that were quite delicious and I tried their cider on tap. Food wise, they have an astonishing selection of Gluten Free Option, so for once I was able to enjoy appetizers galore. The calamari was tasty as heck. The chicken strips could've used a bit of seasoning, but came with excellent sauces. And well, I have never had a bad tater tot in my life. I'd like to go back and try more here, that's for sure.

Staff are awesome and food is good, I've enjoyed the Big Moose pizza (ground beef toppings!) , the club, their smokey bbq double cooked wings, and their garlic shrimp and cheese toast sides are delish. Moose's has a rocky tavern vibe, plenty of big screens for games, and is a super chill place to hang all night. Free parking lot outside.

We visited last night and started off on a high note with an excellent wine selection. The…read moresommelier, Bobby, was fantastic--knowledgeable and personable. The wine list isn't huge, but what they offer is curated and impressive. We ordered the Wedge Salad and Truffled Arancini. Both arrived about 15 minutes later. The salad was underdressed, and the Arancini, while hot, lacked the tomato sauce that would have elevated the dish. Minor issues, but we moved on. Unfortunately, the main course experience was disappointing. After waiting 45 minutes, our entrees finally arrived--at room temperature. At that point, we were too hungry to send them back and wait another 20 minutes. When we shared our concerns, the staff initially offered complimentary desserts, which felt inadequate given the circumstances. After further discussion, they comped both entrees and provided a $25 gift certificate, which was a fair gesture and appreciated. The GM and Bobby personally apologized and invited us to ask about "little surprises" in the wine cellar next time, which was a nice touch. Overall, great wine and recovery effort, but the kitchen timing and food temperature need serious improvement. Hoping for a better experience next time because the potential is there.

I followed the more than 48 hour rule to cancel the room without penalty and was told that its was during their blackout period and should have read the fine print. I'm really not even sure if that is legal. The hotel takes the full amount of the charge for the room at the time of booking, not at the time of check in and keeps the money regardless of when you cancel if it falls "in their black out period" that is not clearly identified when booking those dates. You better not have plans change or have a family emergency! RIP OFF. Buyer beware, do not book.
