    Menu from february twenty twenty six and the cob salad

    Services waiting for you and accurate pizza.Flat bread is simple, but fresh salads are adequate.Simple and lacking great dressings. Happy hour has good prices from 3-6~Ciders are very good from sonoma @ $4.64!!!!

    Noisy but cool place
    Mahak Jain J.

    Ambiance is great ...... it's inside the Hilton hotel but it's very noisy a kind of bar feeling . Service is slow as they never pick your call for room service . Their was no one at front to ask and then I had to go to person at bar to take my order for to go. It's expensive for stir fry vegetable 25$ but the portions are huge and it comes with salad or soup , potato or rice

    Shrimp Tacos
    Karl A.

    This was more than I was expecting. The host/server Paul was awesome! Great personality and great attentiveness to the tables. I got a well vodka and it was rough. I'm not sure the brand, but it was not great. The shrimp tacos were another story... they were fantastic! The shrimp was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The slaw was fresh and crisp and the sauce was smooth and flavorful! I will come back just for those! The calamari was good to, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning. Great service, good food, convenient location!

    Omg!! Tania with purple hair is amazing!!!!! She is so good we upgraded drinks and because of her we decided to stay for dinner as well, let me tell you!!! It did not not disapoint!! Ribs were amazing and fetticini as well.. she alone deserves 100 stars!!!

    Came here for the first time, and everyone was so nice. My waiter saw that I had a jacket and brought a small coat stand for my table. They have great customer service. The food was amazing. I recommend the prosciutto pizza. It has a romantic feel with dim lighting and the outdoor area in the back has beautiful green foliage. A great place for a first date an anniversary or a girls night out!

    Flatbread pizza
    Vanessa G.

    This restaurant is not closed. It is fully open. Lovely restaurant located inside the Embassy Suites. My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We shared the cobb and caesar salads. We also shared a Flatbread pizza and some bar bite happy hour pretzel bites. Everything was delicious. We had wine and some happy hour drinks. Staff was friendly and also quite funny. We had a great experience.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. I gave…read moreReunion Kitchen 1 star across the board because the atmosphere, service, and food all fell well below expectations. The service was by far the worst part. We sat for over **20 minutes** without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water. I eventually had to get up and ask someone to send a server over. What made it even more frustrating was watching other parties who arrived **15-20 minutes after us** receive water immediately and have their orders taken before anyone even acknowledged our table. After finally waiting another 10 minutes to receive our water, we had to track down our server again just to place our food order because no one returned to check on us. By that point, we had been sitting long enough and were more than ready to order. To make matters worse, we ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp about five minutes after placing our entrée order, but it never arrived. After we had already finished our meals, we asked to cancel it, only to be told that our server had never entered the order in the first place. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the poor service. It lacked flavor and was very underwhelming. This experience was frustrating enough that I cannot recommend Reunion Kitchen. I initially wanted to believe this was simply an off day or an inexperienced server, but after hearing from two other people I know who described nearly identical experiences, it seems this may be a recurring issue. One thing that left me especially uncomfortable was seeing guests who arrived well after us receive prompt attention while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I can't say why that happened, but it certainly made us question whether we were being treated differently. I sincerely hope the restaurant looks into its service standards and ensures every guest is treated with the same level of respect and attention.

    I decided to walk in after the gym as it smelled really good. Because I had just finished working…read moreout I didn't wanna eat something that would make me feel guilty. I had not noticed that they had some healthy items on their menu so I decided to walk in. This time I was by myself and did not have my wallet with me so I asked if I could use Apple Pay to pay which you can. I decided to sit at the bar by myself. The bar area had a good ambience with a game from the Dodgers playing. The bartender was really friendly and made me feel welcomed. Once I ordered my beer came out pretty quick and my burger followed not too long after. I ordered the bison burger, and it was really good. I saw a few other items that would be guiltless or not as unhealthy that I will most likely try on a different location after the gym when I'm hungry and don't feel like cooking afterwards.

    My experience was underwhelming…read more The inside decor was fun and the restaurant is big, Plenty of seating throughout, combination of tables, booths and at the bar. Definitely a place you can come watch sports or hang out with big groups. My husband and I came in on a weekday, a little before 8 for dinner. There were probably 5-7 parties throughout the restaurant and 2 people at the bar. No host at the front. Servers working at bar and a server walking around. No acknowledgment from staff or even a glance our direction. We decided to wait a few more minutes, if no one helps us we will leave. A few minutes later, a server quickly walks from the back. He grabs menus and takes us to a table. I liked that the booth was huge for just the 2 of us. I didn't like that the restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated by the bathroom and in front of the kitchen. Our server was Bryce and he was nice. We ordered: Steak fajitas - read a lot of reviews about this and it was just okay. I'm not sure what I was expecting. It's definitely a serving for 1. The steak was tough, but the veggies had flavor and cooked perfectly. The tortilla was also good. I ended up eating the veggies with the tortilla without the steak. It comes with small ramekins of sour cream, guacamole & the black bean salsa - which was more like a purée. Deviled eggs - so, I love deviled eggs. If it's on the menu at any restaurant, I always order them. These were very runny. The flavor was good, but the texture of the yolk was like baby food. I wouldn't order again. Grilled cheese & soup - this was good. Very cheesy. I thought the glasses for the drinks were cute. I drank about 1/2 my coke and noticed the glass was dirty with specs of food, both inside the glass and outside. My cloth napkin also had stains. We are local, so if our friends wanted to come back, we might try it again, but this would not be my first choice.

    Friendly service and the vibes was very welcoming and relaxing…read more Perfect for a quick drink or 2 while hanging out with family n friends

    Some places sit in the back of your mind for years…read more I first came to Macallan Public House more than a decade ago on a date and always intended to return. Life happened, years passed, and somehow I never made it back. Fast forward to today: I was driving my Tesla, jokingly asked Grok to take me somewhere for a beer, and it pointed me right back here. Walking in felt like revisiting a place that had been quietly waiting in the background of my story. The centerpiece is still the incredible bar. Shelves stacked floor to ceiling with whiskey bottles, glowing green tile behind the taps, warm lighting, and enough character that you can spend half your time simply looking around. It's the kind of room that feels both energetic and comfortable at the same time. I grabbed a seat at the bar, watched a soccer match on the TVs, and ordered an Old Fashioned. It arrived exactly the way I hoped it would: large clear ice cube, generous orange peel, balanced and smooth without trying too hard. Just a well-made classic cocktail. What stood out most was the atmosphere. These days I'm much more likely to be exploring hiking trails, photographing wildflowers, or driving mountain roads than spending time in bars. Twelve years ago, places like this were a much more regular part of my life. Coming back reminded me why I enjoyed them in the first place. Good conversation, a comfortable seat, a quality drink, and no rush to be anywhere else. The beer taps looked extensive, the whiskey selection seemed endless, and the entire place struck a balance between neighborhood pub and whiskey destination. Funny how a random AI navigation suggestion brought me back to a place I'd been meaning to revisit for over a decade. Glad it finally did. 5 stars.

    Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively

It didn't taste as good and wasn't as juicy sadly. The sauces were still consistent but the pork belly itself was a bit lackluster from before Tinga taquitos- these used to be so juicy, the chicken inside was a bit dry and the tortilla itself was too thick. U def need to use the sauces they provide to offset the dryness Grilled Octopus- this dish was good, octopus was juicy but portion was a bit small for what it was. It also came with sweet potato fries Loaded fries- idk what I was expecting but these were just fries with buffalo chicken nuggets on top. Don't get me wrong this was decent and the buffalo chicken was tangy and juicy! Thirsty Thursday deals happen all day $7 margs and you know I had to get some. Mango was the sweetest, strawberry was not bad, guava was the best in balance of flavor in sweetness and alcohol.

However, reading the below post, I would like to comment on my perspective, because I was a table sitting right next to the latest post. I watched as you made the hostess move you twice in the same area. I watched as you waited 20 minutes for your own party. I watched as you interrupted the waitress multiple times as she was serving the tables beside you, including mine. I watched as you chased down the man in the suit after you called over three other servers that assured you of the busy time. I also watched three other people bring out all your food, and you yell at them "NO" and told the server to "go away. Youre missing the game now" I also watched you yell at the man in the suit. He did nothing but smile, as someone should when being disrespected in his place of business. The tables around were staring because of your behavior or tantrum. Yelp is for reviews of food and honest feedback. Not to throw a tantrum because of impatience or maybe because you wanted a free meal.
