This place never disappoints. Always get the rare roast beef on egg bread. Our waitress, Veronica, was attentive and cheerful. We arrived at 11:30 am and were seated right away. We live in North County and gladly make the 30 minute drive, but wish it were closer. The only negative is the parking. Very difficult to find a spot in their lot.

The food was plated so nicely. We had lunch and the calamari was delicious as was the hamburger. The garlic parmesan fries are the best! Try them! It was fairly busy when we were there but service was good and the food came out quickly. Perfect for our lunch hour!

We went for pizza, and we were not disappointed. We added Italian sausage to the Margarita pizza, and it was great! We will definitely be back.

Nice place at this Hilton boutique hotel. We came in for breakfast and the food had a very creative twist on basic breakfast staples. I had their corned beef hash which was delightfully unexpected. We would dine here again when we get a chance to visit the area again.

We had a family brunch/lunch, and our entrees were beautifully plated and delicious !!! The service was impeccable. We had a 15 month old with us and the server brought the toddler a cute little stuffed pony to keep her happy (nice touch !).
