K P: Housemade pork belly pizza, pastas, milo chopped salad, sangria, prosecco cocktails, strawberry corn meal cake, strawberry vanilla tart, verve coffee!!
Shane Plossu: Go for the chicken meatballs each and every time - we always do. Great flavor, especially when the remaining sauce is scooped up with the house bread.
Eater: A tiny, always packed bakery and cafe from the Rustic Canyon team. Expect seasonal small plates, impeccable baked goods, and some of the best pizza pies in the city. [Eater 38 Member]

Jessica Trevino: Oysters are amazing! Even better with Villa Sandi Prosecco. Staff extremely friendly, great place with good atmosphere and extremely dog friendly.
Andrew Layman: Oysters are amazing. Lots of options. Good view of the water. Rosé was great. Good place to grab lunch or a quick oyster sesh.
Bon Appetit Magazine: The LA area has arguably the most diverse food scene in the country. Exemplary lobster roll - served on top a split brioche roll with a side of house-made sweet potato chips. Read more.
Giulia Prati: Complimentary daily espresso beverages, welcome glass of prosecco, and unique decor made for an upscale and charming experience.
BaltimoreGal: The hotel menu is a little pricey but very good. If you like #watermelon and delicious flavor, can't go wrong with a Watermelon Splash! #deliciousflavor #WatermelonSplash
Carrie Gouskos: Two power plugs built into the tablestand next to each bed. May seem like a small thing, but if so, why do most hotels make finding power like a game of Where's Waldo?

Gorkem Unel: Rib eye for two was a killer. Nice ambience, high class restaurant in SM. Try honeycomb ice cream !
Michael Kane: Has some decent appetizer veggie options but lacks entrees for vegetarians. They were out of the only two they offer tonight
Christopher Auyeung: You're not doing it right if you don't end your meal with the Strawberry Ricotta Crostata. It's served with honeycomb ice cream and sprinkled with thyme and black pepper.
