    Had a weekend lunch on the patio before the relaxing of pandemic regulations. It was a chilly sunny day, but there were plenty of heaters and it was very comfortable. Kudos to the staff for making a pleasurable experience under difficult circumstances. The mid-day menu was scaled down but very good. Had a salad simply called "Organic Lettuces". The name didn't do this colorful, textured and tasty salad justice. Looking forward to sampling the full dinner menu.

    We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away...everything off to a great start for a lovely sunset evening. Then it went downhill quickly. They were significantly understaffed and the service suffered. Our waitress told us she was also our bartender and she took our order along with other tables drink orders. As you can imagine we had to wait for her to make everyone's drinks before we received ours. Our margaritas were served at room temp. Hour later we received our mediocre food. I sent mine back and was offered an order of fries...I did not order the fries and thought they were offering them because my food wasn't right, but then I was charged for the order of fries. Overall the night was a struggle and we will never return.

    What an amazing evening. This has become one of our favorite local destinations. The food is amazing and the service surpasses that. Unfortunate for these employees that one week they are open, the next closed. The fact that they come back should be applauded. What a frustrating and very uncertain time to be in hospitality.

    The patio seating area is beautiful. Our waiter, Jeremiah, was excellent! The cocktails were great albeit expensive for the mixology ones. Probably the most expensive that I have ordered in our country. The appetizers were very good and the cheese plate was 10/10. Unfortunately the lunch menu is quite limited . Many in our party did not care for the choices. Thus we split and went to another restaurant for the main meal. I also do not understand the sharing dinner menu in the age of Covid-19. No doubt this place will be successful once they work out the kinks.

    Pacific Point is the newly renovated bar area, formerly called The Lobby Bar, in the stunningly remodeled Park Hyatt. No bar stools allowed around the beautiful new bar due to Covid, and tables are spaced for social distancing, but the ambiance is friendly and elegant, and the service was spot on. The menu has a bit of an Asian fusion edge to it, although you can still get a great burger and fries. The Hamachi was the best I have ever had. Fresh, with perfect accompaniments, nearly making me moan with every bite! Can't wait to go back.

    Went for Mother's Day brunch and it was a pretty spectacular spread. Seafood, sushi, prime rib, lamb, pork belly, along with the usual pancakes, french toast, omletes, bacon and sausage. Whole room of tiny amazing desserts. By far the nicest brunch - also the most expensive. Worth it for a special treat!

    We ate at the Easter Brunch and the food was amazing! The chefs prepared a vast array of food and desserts, each of which was carefully prepared and artfully displayed. Among our table of 8, we must have sampled everything offered and without exception each dish was delicious. The seafood was fresh and plentiful. The vegetarian options were creative and out of the ordinary. Grilled meats, salumi, and sausages were also available. Finally, the desserts were worthy of a whole separate meal. Fanciful creations like filled churros and mini cheesecakes with delicate hand-painted fondant eggs were amazing. BUT - the host and management were incredibly rude. Even though we had made our reservation a month in advance, the host tried to seat us at literally the worst possible table. When we asked to be re-seated, the host first told us every other table was already reserved and he could not accommodate us even though the room was less than half-occupied (and remained so). Then they caused a scene wringing their hands over what to do in an uncomfortable standoff while we stood first in the dining room and then in the entryway for 10-15 minutes. A kind waited finally broke the tension with a “of course we can seat you somewhere else” and off we went. No apology or explanation from the host or the rude female “manager.” We were there for almost an hour and a half but the room was never more than half-full. What became clear to us is that for Easter Brunch (or possibly this is their standard practice), management holds the best tables - i.e., view-tables by the windows - for Four Seasons time-share owners but otherwise stick locals/visitors with crummy tables alongside the buffet. We watched this play out twice again during our visit. That said, the chefs and waitstaff were outstanding. In sum, food was excellent but management soured our experience from the start and made no effort to rectify their missteps. We will think twice about going back again.

    This is specifically for their Easter brunch. There was hardly any breakfast items except for an omelette station with only two burners, eggs Benedict (with meat so if you don’t eat that you couldn’t) and horchata French toast which is not exactly kid friendly. We had to have the lovely lady at the omelette station make some plain eggs for her. The rest was very appropriate fare for lunch but not at 930am. We also got a call the day before that our table was outside. I asked if she knew which exact table and she said yes. Turns out we were in the corner, it was freezing and the inside had plenty of tables. In addition we had to ask for toast from our server who would bring one slice at a time. Maybe a few more items like breakfast potatoes, quiche, oatmeal like other competitor hotels were offering would have been better. I only looked this up after the fact.

    The staff was busy with change over. We had really poor service and the staff were noisily filling the silver ware and moving pitchers that were rude and very loud. This was not a cheap meal and even though the food was good I’ll never go back. When we spoke to the concierge about our experience it was evident that this is an ongoing issue. Too bad.

    no buffet after 10:30 am, open table or the restaurant did mot disclose this fact: we stated that we were looking for Sunday brunch buffet when we called the restaurant. why? we have had good experiences with open table in the past. omelet was OK, cooked well, potatoes seemed like they prepared the day before, dry and tasteless. dish did not come with toast, paid extra, or you have toast and pay for potatoes. for a $34.00 breakfast, seems like it should come with both. i don't mind paying for expensive meal but it should be exceptional.

    When we come to SoCal each year to get away from the AZ heat, we make it a point to have Sunday Champagne Brunch at the California Bistro. This was our third time this year. It is in a beautiful setting with marvelous, friendly and professional service. Christina was right there bringing replacement utensils, filling our glasses and inquiring if we needed anything. The selection of food ran from king crab legs to prime rib to fruits, huge peeled shrimp,cerviche, salads, lox, pastries, cheeses, omelettes, desserts - everything you could want. The patio for al fresco dining is our favorite. Gorgeous. Can't wait until next summer to return to the California Bistro!

    My high expectations were unmet. The experience was unique in its lack of civility. The wait staff was poorly trained and unfamiliar with the menu and wine list. Jeremiah, our waiter, ended the meal with a lecture. The gist was that we had chosen the wrong place to lunch. We had come to relax and dine. A fast food meal wasn't our goal. We were told that we didn't belong ,and Jeremiah suggested that we take our business elsewhere in the future. Despite the critical attitude, we tipped generously. It's not in my nature not to treat people poorly. We are locals who could have become regulars. This was unique in my years of travel and meals at the finest hotels worldwide. I suggest management address this embarrassment and introduce immediate remedial action.

    I dined their in order to take my friends out after they had me over so many times to their place. I can't imagine why anyone would pay so much for a meal, but I think my friends liked it. And it was nice to at least have tried it. The staff were very nice, but I think they were a little overworked. There was no one at the egg station or the carving board most of the time. The diners had to ask for help, or even cut their own prime rib. But, all and all, it was a nice dining experience.
