The 'keep it open' policy is something I appreciate but would also appreciate an itemized receipt when you close out. Here's why to keep your eye out when drinking at this establishment. 1- when you close out, it's helpful to verify what you consumed to ensure you're corrected charged. My receipt was the merchant copy and the customer copy. Itemized? Really had to ask for it. 2- the merchant copy - it asked for a tip and the total amount. When we closed out our beer and well drink, it was ~$28. Weird, right? So my thought was that they clearly charged something incorrect. 3- when there's something automatically charged, it had better be communicated to me upfront. The gratuity was automatically added and IT WAS 20%! No sign, no way to notify me that it was already added. It didn't even say so on the merchant or customer copy. On top of that, the copy asked for AN ADDITIONAL TIP. For something like that, I had better get great service. 4- The service here is spotty at best. There's usually one bartender for the often busy bar. Not a problem, usually. But with that high of a price, better serve your customers well and have a fully stocked bar. 5 - the options were lacking. Two things you'd think would be stocked but weren't - espresso (come on, even Kahlua) and apple liqueur for an espresso martini and appletini were too much to ask for, I guess. Overall, a disappointment. Good thing they have the vibes nearly right. But awful business practices.

The restaurant itself is relatively upscale for a hotel but has a warm vibe. The Belgian waffle is a must- it's decadent, the berries are fresh and the whipped cream is cloud-like and sweet. The American breakfast was hearty and filling. The bacon was perfectly chewy, salty and cooked. The Yukon potatoes were crispy and had a good level of spice. The eggs were super fluffy as well. The sourdough was warm and the butter was creamy. Our server was extremely kind and was ON IT when it came to refills and making good conversation, super kind and made sure to check on us consistently.

She was very sweet, helpful and kind. Her attentiveness was appreciated as a she checked in with us often and consistently refilled our waters as need, which we love. She offered a delicious recommendation for my cocktail (Poblano Margarita) and allowed my husband to taste 2 different beers before deciding which one he wanted. My husband got the Argentine Steak and I got the Steak Frites, both were delicious! We had planned to go to Ghirardelli for dessert but Serena made our time here so enjoyable we stayed here for dessert. We got the chocolate lava cake and Serena even wrote us a special note for our anniversary! Serena made our anniversary dinner so fun and memorable with her exceptional service and fun personality. This is my first ever Yelp review and I just had to write one specifically for the amazing service we received from Serena!

The bar wasn't busy, so we were able to grab seats right in front of the TV, which made it the perfect place to catch the match. The bartender was super attentive while still giving us plenty of time to look over the menu without feeling rushed. We ordered a dirty martini and a spicy margarita, along with a half dozen oysters and the Margarita Flatbread to snack on. The oysters were fresh, large, and definitely the highlight of our meal. The flatbread was decent--it hit the spot, but I think it could have used a little more flavor to really stand out. The cocktails were well made and paired nicely with the food. One of the best parts of this spot is the location. The ocean views are beautiful, and from our seats at the bar we could even see otters swimming in the water, which made for such a fun dining experience.

The inside is very cozy feeling, with the entire wall behind the bar being basically a library of whiskey. My first visit, I had a flight of Redwood Empire bourbon & rye. It was god, RE makes great stuff. For my second visit, I had their Islay Trio flight, wanting to try something different. Best one was by far the Lagavulin 16 year (glass on the right), as it has a rich peaty flavor to it. They even allowed my dog to sit inside with me, although we were limited to the counters at the front of the lounge. Nonetheless, the staff were very accommodating to my pup and I, even bringing him water. This is a fantastic place to visit if you're a whiskey connoisseur, or just want a good cocktail. Cheers!
