Staff indifferent. No help on menu. Were told they only had 6:00 pm reservations which was fine, but then seemed to want us out fast despite the restaurant being empty. Require $150 payment to reserve a table. Food okay but nothing special.

I had stayed at The Pendry in 2018 for my daughter's wedding weekend and enjoyed breakfast here several times then, so I brought visiting friends for brunch. We were not disappointed. Great food and friendly service, and the Moet vending machine is always a hit.

Loved our 2nd year anniversary here. Took my girlfriend out for Valentine’s Day , first time at the restaurant not knowing what to expect. Was greeted warmly and walked to our seats within 3 minutes of arrival. I asked the front desk if they could do a cute decoration on our desert for our anniversary and they did! Expect to spend around 300-400$ if attending for valentines. Have never spent this much on food but it was definitely worth the experience! (Loved the oysters wish there would’ve been 3/4 instead of just2)

Took us over 2 hours to get through the 3 courses. They brought the wrong course and then they forgot about us. We waited n waited then finally they got it right. Our server was awesome and understood why we felt this way. The last course the steak was ice cold. Ruined a Valentine’s Day dinner for me and my girl.
