We went there on a flamenco night. It was a beautiful atmosphere, good service. The food was not of the same level. I had the salad which was supposed to have asparagus but they were nowhere in sight maybe just a peeled skin, hard to swallow. The apple dessert was more like a morning donut-type sweet with ice cream. The icecream was excellent . Maybe they could be a bit more generous with the pour?

Just came back from my birthday celebration and this was my first time here. The ambience setting was nice. The food overall was great but can be better... we ordered a wedge salad and split, the salad looked very inviting, however it was abit overwhelming with dressing. The wild rice , actually a black rice, with the salmon was abit bland, could use some seasoning. The shortrib dish was delicious, rich but not oversalted. The service was very good. Any way, it was fun.

We were really excited for the Fall Princess Tea after seeing it on social media and decided to reserve a table for what we thought would be a magical experience. When we arrived, the courtyard was beautiful and sunny, and we saw so many princesses walking around. Everything looked perfect. But unfortunately, after we were seated, things quickly went downhill.
We were completely overlooked. While other tables were getting their tea sandwiches and treats, we kept waiting and waiting, despite asking several times. The staff eventually brought out water and tea, but we were served last. By the time our food finally arrived, we had already watched every other table enjoy theirs.
The princesses came by to visit each table, but it felt rushed. The larger groups got a lot of attention, while smaller tables like ours only got a quick hello and a photo. One princess didn’t even come to our table, and when we tried to approach her, other moms were pushing their kids forward, making it difficult to even get a moment.
As the event started to wind down and the crowd thinned out, I had to ask for the check, which included a mandatory 20% tip—despite the less-than-great service. It was such a letdown. The setup was cute, staff was friendly, but the attention to guests seemed to get lost in the larger crowd. I really wanted to love the experience, but we left feeling a bit disappointed.

Beautiful restaurant and even more beautiful property of Marriott Autograph collection hotel. We sat outside as we were with our dog. We ordered our drinks and decided to only their spanish style tapas and outstanding butter cake. All were deslish, well presented. Service was very attentive amd professional. Would definately come back for more.

We went to Ysidora for a Mother’s Day’s brunch. Beautiful location but that’s where it stops. I’m not sure if it was our server or what the issue was. I used to work in the service industry, so I understand that things can happen and I let a lot of things slide, but this was bad from start to finish. You have to valet, there’s no hotel parking, not the biggest deal. Once we were seated outside, we asked for an umbrella for shade and to turn off the heater we were seated next to, it was 77* degrees and very sunny. Nobody ever came. It took thirty minutes just to get half a glass of water… it’s hot and I m next to a heater, why can’t I have a full glass of water? They just let us sit there forever, hot and with nobody even acknowledging us. It wasn’t busy either and now I see why. There was a prefix menu that didn’t look very appealing, I asked to order off of the regular menu but I was denied. I settled on the watermelon gazpacho,(just say NO if you have gerd) and the steak and eggs with a biscuit. My "medium well" steak came out ice cold in the center like it was frozen, covered in oil and bleeding into my eggs, not to mention that I didn’t get a spoon or knife. My eggs were cold, the biscuit was tiny (looked like it was made for my teacup Pomeranian) and very dry. I asked for Tabasco sauce to at least make my eggs edible but of course, they were out. The third and final dish on the menu was the dessert, a berries and cream tart, which was the best thing on the menu. The mimosa that came with the meal was less than half of a champagne flute full and I’m pretty sure it was just orange juice. For $70 + tax and 20% gratuity per person for a party of 6, not 8 as it states on the menu! He must have known he did a bad job and just added gratuity lol. I went home hungry. Next year, I’m making the reservations!
