by Sandy A. on Amazingly fresh food that makes you feel great! Beautiful atmosphere....live music on occasions. Wonderful kitchen and market downstairs. Great place to bring your laptop, grab some coffee and eat a quick inexpensive lunch or to have a wonderful gourmet dinner. I can easily see myself becoming a regular here.
by Bacon B. on I was really looking forward to this spot, as Hotel San Carlos is such a dynamic location and lends itself so well to a lounge environment. But my experience was less than stellar. Less than mediocre, actually. But I can see this turning into a prime night spot if some changes are made. Like: neutralizing that funky odor; lowering the bartender side of the bar area, so they aren't towering over you; banning staff from using cell phones on the job; discouraging staff from sitting on the bar (this should be alleviated once the leveling of the bartender zone is completed); educating the staff on the history of Hotel San Carlos [come on, people! You host a haunted hotel event every October. It's fun to learn the freaky side of the property along with the hip end of it.] Will I be back? More than likely. But some serious attention needs to be paid here. Prior to being served, I envisioned this as a primo location for hosting a '30s gangster event, with cigar smoking on the patio, martinis, clappers and all the glamor of that era. I can still see it, just not as passionately. Fix your issues, or be prepared to vanish like a ghost after a proper smudging.
