Feedback
We waited about 10 minutes for our table despite having a reservation, which was unexpected. Once seated, our server was pleasant. We ordered the gochujang Brussels sprouts, but they were overcooked and burnt, making them inedible. Our first margarita was fine, but the second took an unusually long time to arrive. It took about an hour for our food to come out, and there were only a few other diners in the restaurant. When the food did arrive, the portions were not very generous. We had the sunken salmon, some sort of potatoes, and cold green beans, along with the truffle fries—which were disappointing and didn't taste like truffle at all—and steak. Overall, the slow service and subpar food significantly detracted from our experience. We ended up leaving and going to another restaurant to eat.
I came for brunch at 12 PM and was unaware that the restaurant would close to prepare for their 5 PM guests. It would have been helpful to know this when we made our reservations! We felt rushed to finish our meal and drink our cocktails, even though our entrees took a long time to arrive. In fact, our entrees were served before our appetizer. Just as I took a bite of my food, the server brought the bill and said there was no rush. But honestly, who said I didn't want to order more? I got the impression that my husband and I were not welcome in the establishment. Paying $44 for parking and a $200 bill for the meal, I expected to have time to enjoy our experience. Shaking my head.
However, it felt a bit awkward to be one of just three couples dining that night, and I wished there were more diners to create a livelier atmosphere. We ordered from the restaurant's weekly menu— I had the steak, while my friend chose the salmon, and both dishes were excellent. Our cocktails were tasty as well, though I found them a bit pricey. While I'm not sure if I would return, it would be a nice spot to visit if I were staying at the Hyatt, as it's a great hotel bar. Overall, we had a good time!
