    Medium Cold Brew Coffee
    erin V.

    We stayed at the Omni hotel, and the cold brew was phenomenal, as well as the chicken empanadas.

    Came here for a quick coffee as we were staying at the hotel. It's so cute in here. We ordered a white chocolate mocha and it was the perfect flavor, not too sweet and not too strong.

    So cute inside this coffee shop! Super friendly staff and excellent service & yummy coffee!

    I've come into this cute cafe three times now during my stay at this resort and every experience has been wonderful. Jayden and Joel both have been super nice and the coffee every morning has been fabulous. Being a coffee snob sometimes I'm a little picky on my latte's and my three different espresso drinks have all been enjoyable! They also offer this amazing "Custard Cool Down" Special from 2-4pm half price gelato which my friend & I definitely have done twice now! The guava and coconut are my two favorite flavors so far. The empanadas we had in the morning were super delicious too! Spinach & Feta is so flavorful and the salsa they give you on the side to put on top is amazing!

    Coffee and convenience at the Omni Montelucia Very limited choice. Coffee was weak. Cookies looked good (lemon or granola) and some wraps. The gelato looked good and the mustard ginger was tempting. A taste will drive you away. Mango wasn't any better, although it was prettier. This is a resort, so the quarter can of Pringles is 7 dollars, but you know what you will get. There were a bunch of scorpion lollipops and gummy souvenirs. Even some prickly pear licorice. And a wine refrigerator. This is one of those places that are good to have around if needed, but otherwise easily forgotten.

    The Montelucia Resort is home to Crave Cafe, and the fact that I was blown away by how beautiful the resort is has nothing to do with how impressed I was with Crave. What are you craving at the moment? Perhaps a cup of coffee? a scoop of gelato? an empanada? gourmet pastry? homemade tomato soup? perhaps a panini sandwich filled with turkey, cheese, grilled eggplant, and cranberry compote? red wine? magazine? fresh fruit? Diet Coke? Whatever your 'crave-ing' - Crave has it all! In addition to pretty much anything your heart desires, Crave also has an extremely friendly staff and offers limited seating (in and outside) with gorgeous views of Camelback mountain. After a full tour of the resort, we were hungry for lunch and decided to have a quick bite at Crave... We shared a sandwich, slice of quiche, and tomato soup - all of it was delicious! I am sure I'll be craving a return trip to the Montelucia sometime soon, and when I do, I'm sure I'll pop into Crave for whatever I need at that time.

    I read all of the reviews and saw a lot of people mention the "Breakfast Pyramid," so I ordered one for myself during my stay and it was delicious. It's filled with bacon, egg, sausage, and cheese, and it was an amazing and filling breakfast. I also got the caramel Java Chiller. It was sweet, but still had that coffee taste, so it was perfect for me. The people working there were always extremely friendly. My friend and I went for gelato during their happy hour and I was able to have a sample of the gelato before ordering. Fair pricing too! I definitely plan on going back whenever I have the chance to stay here again.

    If you need a quick fix this is the place. Love their green juice and kale salad with chick peas. My boyfriend loves their yogurt with berries, unfortunately they don't have it all the time. It's like first come first served.

    Very good gelato although it's a tad pricey. I do wish it was open later because I would have loved to get gelato after dinner.

    Lots of milk alternatives, well priced for a resort "store", 10 gelato flavours, unique little gifts and reasonably priced wine for a hotel.

    Another excellent experience at The Henry…read more Although it was busy and we didn't have a reservation, the hostess was able to seat us immediately at a booth which was very comfortable. Our server Jacob was excellent and very professional and friendly. He checked on us regularly and never left us waiting for service. We started with dirty martinis and they were prepared perfectly. Icy and filled to the rim. I ordered the Short Rib Potstickers $19- As an entree. Toasted sesame, cilantro, ponzu. Delicious. A good amount of short rib in each potsticker and plenty of sauce. My husband ordered the Blackened Sea bass Tacos $28 - blue corn tortilla, grilled pineapple salsa, red cabbage slaw, poblano crema. He loved these tacos. He said they were very, very good and the fish was cooked perfectly. For a side, we ordered the Spicy Double Egg Fried Rice. $9. Wow, this was packed with flavor. A nice size for the price. We have only been here a handful of times full of times and we are never disappointed. We will be back!

    This is the second location I have visited. My first visit was to the location in West Hollywood,…read moreCalifornia. This location definitely takes the cake in ambiance. It is beautiful, spacious, and has two floors! The setting is clearly above your usual brunch spots and the booths offer a more intimate experience. My party and I were privileged to sit in direct view of the open kitchen. We got to see and hear the kitchen staff working together and communicating smoothly. We even heard the "hands" announcements like you see on The Bear TV show! I believe the food here was on par with the West Hollywood location, so points for consistency. Unfortunately, I have the same qualms for flavor for their dishes. I tried the short rib pot stickers, the tortilla soup, and the Bolognese pasta. I would say that the flavors were not especially strong for each dish. I think they each needed a pinch of extra seasoning to really make their flavors pop! Moreover, I tried my girlfriend's Rigatoni Alla Vodka and the cheese had no taste! Nevertheless, the dishes were beautiful. Lastly, I had a bit of an issue with our service. Our server passed by our table multiple times as we tried to flag her down to ask for the check. I think she could have been more attentive especially in the context of this higher-end brunch spot. With all of these factors combined, it's an overall 4/5 for me.

    My husband and I wanted to stop somewhere new for brunch, so we decided on The Bread and Honey…read moreHouse in Arcadia. As soon as we walked in, we both said, "This isn't what we were expecting." It's a large open dining area with tables and about four or five booths with counter-style ordering. They have a water station set up where you grab your own waters and find a table to sit at, and then they will bring out your food. Based on the name, we assumed we would be seated by a hostess and the menu would be full of breads, different kinds of pastries, and country-style foods, but it's actually mostly Mexican dishes with a few country-style dishes thrown in. We ended up ordering the Crispy Chorizo & Potato tacos and the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon to share. The tacos were good; they are filled with whipped potatoes and chorizo, but the biscuits and gravy were just basic biscuits and gravy. The scrambled eggs on both dishes were WAY overcooked and had zero flavor. Not sure if they misunderstood my husband when he ordered the side of bacon crispy; that also meant to cook the eggs that way too? Overall, it was a good experience. The espresso martini was good, and the staff were really friendly. I'm just not sure it was good enough to stop in again.

I really love the aesthetic of this place. First of all it's tucked on the back corner of a strip mall. You wouldn't know it was care without looking, even though there is a small patio that wraps around. The dining room is kind of a great mixture that stuff it's very industrial working with lots of concrete with open duct work, but it also has a lovely tufted Bank at and crystal chandeliers. The perfect balance and I love it. You can see into the kitchen which I also like. Our server was delightful, and I loved the attentiveness, like making sure to move the curtains when the light was hitting in an odd way. I started with a delicious drink that I think was called Mezcal Orange Fizz. It was yummy! For the first course I chose the Salmon Crudo. It had a citrus dressing and crispy rice chip. It was absolutely delicious, but very tiny. I could have licked the plate because the dressing was so yummy. My friend had the gazpacho, which she said was very good With main course I chose the Garlic-Lemon Scallops and Corn. It was four delicious scallops on polenta garnished with popcorn. What a cool surprise! It was really good! My friend had the short ribs which she seemed to like as well. For dessert, we both chose the key lime tart. It was a little bit of heaven on a plate! I really enjoyed it. The portion sizes were appropriate - - what we probably should be eating rather than the huge portions we normally get. I was able to finish everything, and I left full but not stuffed. I did remove a star because I did not like that they charged a gratuity on a check for just one person. I normally tip a minimum of 25%, but they added 18%. I just left it. I understand the need to include the gratuity with a larger party (somehow the server always seems to get the short end on those larger parties). I don't know if that's a normal thing, or a restaurant week thing because, to be honest, hubby always pays the bill. I do recommend this hidden gem of a place. It has a lot going for it and I've always enjoyed my visits here.
