Palm & Ember

Ok - here's the deal - I want to give this a 5 star but I can't. The food I've gotten has been really good. The staff is very friendly. The decor is lovely and welcoming. In the 6 days I've been here - the menu has changed every single day. If you see something you really want - order it immediately. It may not be there next time you come. The BLT was delicious. Lots of good hardy bacon and the arugula was a nice change. I had the breakfast buffet one morning - I really just wanted a breakfast sandwich but they weren't doing the a la carte menu at the time. It was a great selection - however - they had smoked salmon and all the fixings for a nice bagel but no bagel. They weren't really busy but expected for a hotel in a residential community. I'm sure their menu changes are based on that. You don't want to overstock if you don't have the business. My absolute no go is the salsa/guacamole appetizer - jarred salsa should never be served at a restaurant. That's something you can easily make - if not - use a better quality. Otherwise - overall a good place.

My work team had a two day planning meeting and we had breakfast and lunch here both days. The service was exceptional by all the staff and I appreciated all the delicious and fresh food options for both breakfast and lunch. In comparison to typical hotel food, I would rate this high because it didn't seem like they just fry frozen stuff. On the first day I had their grilled veggie sandwich on focaccia with pesto spread and fries. It was so delicious that I purposely saved half to take home to eat later. The fries were thick and crispy and lightly seasoned. The second day I ordered the quinoa salad with fresh blueberries and veggies. It was light but filling and refreshing. It has a modern vacation vibe and a full bar (which I didn't get to use).

The restaurant is so cute. It is clean and has cute decor. The menu consists of salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. The waiter was attentive and kind. Food was brought out quickly. I enjoyed the Blackened Ahi Tuna Salad. It was very refreshing and the sauces were lively. The side of pita chips was very crunchy. Perhaps they could have added a different sauce for that. I deducted a star for the lettuce having some not so good edges and the handkerchief smelled old.

Stayed at the hotel and had the breakfast buffet. They had decent selection and the food was fresh, staff was extremely friendly and made rounds cleaning and refilling beverages.

The ambiance has beautiful decor and the seating area is inviting with a view of Hayes Mansion. They have a $22 breakfast buffet until 10:00 AM, but I just ordered the daily special - a breakfast burrito. For $9, I was SHOOK that they only gave me half of a burrito?? And it was from the buffet trays! I thought I would at least get a whole burrito for that price.

Attempted to eat here. I say attempted because I never got waited on. Restaurant was 1/3 full and waited 5min to get "seated" was given a menu and told to seat anywhere. I sat at high top near the bar so I could be visible to bar staff or a server. Two other parties came in after me and were properly seated and served. I waited for what felt like an eternity but was more like 6min, at which point I got up and left. Not a single staff member checked on me in the slightest. This blows my mind as I have stayed at this hotel for over two weeks straight!

Awful im working here and since employees get discount i thought it was a nice idea to get food here but apparently not not only they treated me with disrespect the guy at the front desk was forcing me to pay full which i thought in my head "I wonder what the discount would be" guess not. Will not eat here again and want my money back asap!!!!!!!

Yeah it was fine. We were hungry after a day of travel. It was easy. It was fine. Not bad. Not great. Fine. All around. Fine. Excellent Sauvignon blanc in my opinion with a generous pour. Otherwise, fine.

Bartender is always a pleasure to see. Food is lovely. Such great selection. Outside is beautiful on a warm night.

Great service and food! Everything came out fast and was super good. If you live in the area I definitely recommend trying this place.
