    Going to the Fox this is a great place to grab a bite before or after. Make sure you give yourself ample time, they do get a lot of folks in at the same time.

    We decided to check this restaurant out because it is across the street from the Fox theater. We had plans to see Judy Collins and concert, but she postponed we ended up going back to the restaurant and spending several hours there having appetizers and cocktails. I was really impressed with the interior of the hotel and the restaurant. Parking was easy. We use the ballet right in front of the hotel the staff and the restaurant in the bar were very attentive, including the manager who came to check on us. We decided when we go back in February to see Judy Collins we are going to spend the night so we can walk back across the street from the Fox theater and relax some more .

    The waiter was brand new, only on job 2 days and didn't understand the menu or anything else and no one was helping him. Ultimately I had to order 3 different entrees because each order was either rejected by the kitchen or the meat couldn't be cooked to my desired temperature. Hint don't order medium rare hamburgers. Because of the service delays and our desire to attend the concert at the Fox Theater I was limited on what I could order. Mind you we arrived at 5:30 to make a 7:30 performance, yet at 6:30 I still hadn't had anything to eat. Chicken couldn't be ordered because it took 40 minutes to cook. I ultimately ordered two shrimp tacos which weren't anywhere near the size the manager indicated but I ate them and left hungry. The manager was apologetic and comped my meal but honestly what was that inexperienced staff member doing on the floor alone? Why wasn't the staff member provided both training and support from another staff member or manager. The service was simply unacceptable and the manager didn't make it any better. Food was good, nothing to rave about, can get the same stuff from any chain restaurant in town for much less. Unfortunate because had we had a reasonable experience we would've eaten there regularly as we attend several concerts at the Fox Theater. Poor management, poor staffing, poor service, average food.

    The menu is limited but there is enough variety and the food is good. Wine prices quite high by comparison with the very same wines elsewhere. Everything decent until we wanted to leave to catch a concert across the street. The waitress disappeared with our credit cards. Fifteen minutes later we tried to find her. Finally, she returned with excuses and the Manager with more excuses. Late for the concert due to an inexcusable service failure.

    I made reservations to go before the theater. Reservations were confirmed a couple of times. We arrived and were told they were not serving dinner that night (Sunday) they only had a bar menu. Appetizers. They should have called me but didn’t and explain no dinner. Waitress said it happened to someone else as well. Very bad business to not communicate.

    We loved it! Calamari appetizer, just the right amount of breading, and fabulous sauce. Salmon Bowl was beyond our expectations, big chunks of grilled salmon, rice with cabbage, black beans, corn jalapeno crema....loved it. Nice portion too. Ended with mini churros and vanilla ice cream. Our server Emma was prompt and courteous. We will be going back ... maybe try the brunch. Calming atmosphere, nice decor and artwork.
