I had the Spicy Tuna Roll with Crispy Rice, it was excellent, love that Crispy Rice and came with amazing sauces. Then for Dinner I had the Tomahawk Short Rib, comes with great veggies as well, the best Short Ribs I've ever had, and I order them quite often.
We had the impossible beef lettuce wraps, a side of fresh veggies and one too many drinks before we returned to our room for a great nights sleep! The food was fresh and really well prepared. We had our masks (you can see mine on my phone) and felt comfortable. The veggies where spiced perfectly. So simple and elevated. Highly recommend!!
Great drinks
Breakfast was delicious. I recommend the lemon ricotta pancakes
Burger BAD fries COLD prize RIDICULOUS the hotel needs to rethink their kitchen.The staff was trying but under staffed.

Service is slow. They're not pleasant. It took 15 minutes for them to bring me milk. Then there was a bug in my food. After waiting for 10 minutes for the waitress to come, I told her that there is a bug in it and she kept asking me to repeat myself. I said it 3 times until she just grabbed the plate and took it out, without any apology or alternative. So I was just left there sitting with no food and no menu. Hopefully hotel management steps in. I really also hate how they bring the check before I'm done eating, it feels like they're rushing me out.
So I was not aware of this place until I saw the menu on Newport Beach Restaurant week so totally worth a try. We went for lunch since I liked that menu better. 3 courses for $25, well worth it!! I don't usually think of going to a hotel to have lunch or dinner but this one was worth trying. We came on a saturday afternoon at 1 and I think we might have been the only ones in the restaurant. Made me a little nervous but it was great. Service was great and we weren't rushed, lol. For appetizers we got 1 of each, the hawaiian poke was fresh and great presentation. It also tasted great. I liked the sauce and wished there was a little more. I also got sirachi to add a little kick. It had big eye tuna, roasted nori, maui onion, scallions, avocado, edamame, seaweed salad all on top of a crispy rice. Nom! Caramelized Brussel Sprouts were also fresh and cooked a la dante. The kumquat added a unique taste. We both got the spiny lobster grilled cheese which we weren't what to expect but it had a decent amount of lobster in there! Very well done!! The sandwich itself could be found at Slapfish, lol. Absolutely delicious! For dessert, we each got 1 of each. I really enjoyed my kumquat cheesecake. It was not overly sweet. It was light and the fruits added a nice combination. The balsamic reduction was very nice. My friend's nutella crisp was huge! It was a meal in itself. Also very good and generous. Soo pleased with our choice today! If you get a chance at all, go and give it a try!
