    I had the chilaquiles and expected actual tortilla chips. The chips were bag chips that don’t stay crispy and turn to mush. The chorizo was good flavor though. Please switch to real fried tortillas.

    I felt that this restaurant was billed as 5 star for for Chico but fell short. i was quite annoyed at the water spots on the glassware and the 2 waiters were not as polished as I anticipated.

    I went there to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary. I had been there once for Valentine’s Day and they had a set menu so I wanted to go and try their actual menu. I got a prawns over Spanish rice special and rice was hard. I’m Hispanic so rice is a daily portion in our household so was very disappointed. I didn’t say anything because our waitress was being great and didn’t wanna burden her. One plus thing she did was give us a free desert which was nice.

    Food was not worth the price. I had the hot chicken sandwich. There were too many mixtures of flavor and texture. The chicken was tough. My wife had the salmon. She said it taster frozen. For the price I feel like I could have gone to 5th Street and had an amazing meal. Pros: The cocktails were very good. They also have a nice outside bar and a lounge that looks very nice. Cons: trying to go too fancy with flavor mixtures. Food could have been fresher.

    Celebrated by son's 21st Birthday at the roof top bar with a drink and appetizers for a party of 10. Then we headed down to the lobby to the restaurant for a very good meal! Our server was great, attentive, knowledgeable and provided great service as well.

    Service: average to below average. Dining room was not busy, but we waited between 5-10 minutes just for someone to show up at the podium to seat us for our reservation that we were on time to. Once seated, drinks and water were a bit slow to come. Food and Beverage Quality: uneven. 2 of our members got avocado toast and loved it. Indeed they looked very yummy. One member of our party got eggs Benedict and there was very little sauce. I got rancher’s breakfast, added steak. Potatoes were great, steak was cooked right but lacked seasoning. Eggs also lacked seasoning. Toast came un-buttered and none brought to table. Bacon was thick! Somehow they were out of pastrami hash and chorizo biscuits and gravy. Cocktails were weak and watered down, and they were out of ingredients for a couple drinks on the list. Ambience: vibe was chic, but comfortable, and fun. Rooftop bar visit was great. Overall slightly noisy but not terrible. I’d go here again but temper my expectations.

    Went to Ranchers Daughter for 11 am brunch with 5 people. Restaurant was not busy as only 3 other tables were occupied. Service was terribly slow - waited at least 15 minutes just to get coffee. Put in our orders for food that did not come out until noon! And it came out piecemeal. My omelet was a bit on the cool side. Also, had to flag down the server for coffee refills and later the check. All agreed that while the food was good we would never go back.
