HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great spot if your idea of "fun" is 1 1/2 hours from first sitting to finally being served an entree..........the family headed over at 6:30 on a Saturday night (we had reservations), and were seated right away in the room on the left (by the fire place).
It took a while for the waitress to come over, and longer to get our drinks once we were seated. Beer selection SUCKS - limited to micro brews and didn't have what I liked/wanted. Then things REALLY SLOWED DOWN (kind of hard to believe it could be any worse - but it got A LOT WORSE). It took at least 30 minutes to get our simple apps - crab cakes (LOVED THEM), and the cheese plate (Cheddar was EXCELLENT, as was the swiss kind)......but it took 30 minutes to get to the table!!!
I don't know if it was our waitress (Joan) fault, or just horrible management, but it was awful. That was short compared to wait for our main course. The kids were good but very hungry, and even getting a drink refill was an awful experience. I just don't get it because there were only 8 tables in our room, and they offered the table next to us a free desert because the wait was so long.
When the food finally arrived it was great. I had the salmon, and the portion was large and good, hot mamma had the scallops which she really enjoyed, and kids liked the pasta and chicken fingers (grilled cheese was cold and horrible). We finished with ice cream for the kids (good) and a chocolate martini for Hot Mamma (Loved it).
Food is really good, but the SERVICE is BRUTAL. It was interesting because the bar was crowded, tables full, and people were waiting for tables, but the side we were on had open tables all night.
NO WAY I WOULD RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!

Had lunch here on a Friday at 11:30...there were only a few people in line when we arrived, but as we left at 12:15 pm it was PACKED and the line went up the stairs.
I had roast beef and cheddar and it was EXCELLENT, my bud had some other sandwich....plus a bag of chips and two root beers for $20.95.
Great meal and comfortable place to have a chat!

Over priced, over priced, over priced for lunch!!! It is way to fancy and formal a joint for my taste for a bidness lunch, but if clients want to go here......
Big expensive cars in the lot, and lots of fake people inside.
Burger were pretty good, but they load up the bun with their "special" sauce - and it was horrible.
NO WAY I WOULD EVER RETURN!

I had to use my Hyatt free suites before the end of February so I called the "Diamond Line" to request and was told I couldn't use one....so I called again in the morning and they hooked me up.
This is a great property, and I have stayed here a bunch of times. Unfortunately it was dark too early to play golf on this trip (they have a great little par 3 nine holer), but we headed out to a new favorite "locals" place for dinner - Billys.
I had a great suite (337) in the main building that was really too large for me--a regular king bed and a separate sitting room. Nice to have all the space, but didn't get used.
My only beef with the place is that the rooms could really use an update.
But I do like it.....
Total - $179.00 (room) + 27 valet +taxes = $227.64

Got in around 9 for a quick breakfast and we sat right at the breakfast bar. Service from Jan was quick and good. We each had a breakfast sandwich (very, very good), hash browns, and 1 cup of tea.
Cheap, good, and FAST!

This place ROCKS....what a great "local" spot to have dinner. We sat in the small outside dining area and received FANTASTIC service from Kathy F. She was right on with dinner recommendations (apps too) and an excellent bottle of wine. She was "there" enough to make sure we didn't need anything, but never interrupted our conversation.
Atmosphere is great, relaxed and comfortable. Valet parking in their crowded lot out front, but no wait for a table.
The Cho Cho app was fabulous, clam chowder really good, and the Salmon was some of the BEST EVER - cooked to perfection. Also had a wonderful bottle of Goldeneye Pinot...so good.....
Great spot to take friends, clients or a loved one!!!!

This is one of my favorite places to take customers in Pasadena for lunch (Houston's for dinner), never too crowded, friendly staff everywhere, and solid food.
We had to sit at the bar because there was a convention in town, and the bartender provided EXCELLENT SERVICE, and the food was pretty good. I had the BBQ burger and it was just ok, didn't really like the bbq sauce, but the burger itself was good.
Best of all they were considerate of our time constraint even though they were very busy.....
Great spot that I will return to!!
