SLOW & EXPENSIVE! Unfortunately, I'm only giving this review three stars as the food was really authentic and tasty. Otherwise, the service is exceptionally slow, staff are very forgetful, and the value of the items don't outweigh the subpar experience. I enjoy eating an Italian dinner whilst hearing some spellbinding musician on his acoustic guitar just like the other guy. However, when you're constantly passed up and others who arrive after you get to order first, there's a problem. My servers were apologetic, but that's not enough. Time was wasted and unprofessionalism seized the moment. The restaurant was clean, had a nice view of the FERA's outdoor pond, and the decor was stylish. The Peel has the makings of a great time, it just falls short. As for my meal, I'd recommend the LINGUINI POMODORO which comes with burrata cheese, marcona almond, and basil pesto. I added grilled chicken for an extra $14. Just the plate, cost $25. Add chicken and it's $39. Again, ingredients are fresh. However, I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you're out of options. You'll get a good meal at least.

Located inside Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton, this bar/lounge was honestly one of the main reasons we decided to book our stay there. The space is BEAUTIFUL, both during the day and at night. When we checked in on Friday evening they even had live music, but unfortunately I was feeling a little sick so I skipped it and told myself I'd redeem the experience the next day before heading to Disneyland. And I'm glad I did. In the daytime, the patio area is gorgeous--you can really appreciate the firepit seating and the little lake with koi fish outside. Such a relaxing vibe. We came by around 4PM to pregame before Disney and the bar was pretty busy. Huge shoutout to Arvey, the bartender who took care of us during our visit. Not only was the service exceptional, but he genuinely made some of the best cocktails we've had in a while. Sitting at the bar and watching him make the drinks was honestly part of the experience itself. At first we were trying to customize and tweak our drinks because we usually stay in our comfort zone, but after talking with him and learning more about the ingredients in The Peel's specialty cocktails, we decided to trust the process a little more. We ordered the Dragonfly and Playing With Fire, and both were amazing--beautiful presentation, really balanced flavors, sweet and sour in the best way. We're usually not big foam cocktail people either, but this visit might've changed our minds a little. Also, Playing With Fire came with a fun little presentation moment which made it even better. Honestly, I was really impressed with my experience here. I even came back for another drink at breakfast before checking out of the hotel lol. The dining area also looked beautiful and the food coming out to other tables looked really good too. Definitely looking forward to coming back anytime I'm around the Anaheim area again.

Yum !!! The food is really good here, not your typical hotel food, our waitress Wendy really went above and beyond for us, the steak was perfect, the lava cake was really good also. And it has a nice LA romantic vibe as well. Nice views.

If your staying at this hotel hit the bar up the bartender really knows how to make drinks !! I had 2 cocktail drinks from the happy hour menu !! And they only cost $8.00 and they were sooo delicious . The following day I had breakfast and I had the stuffed cream cheese French toast and it was sooo delicious !! Trust me the food and drinks are on point !!!!

Excellent restaurant, great entertainment and yummy wine. The reason for 4 stars is the limited vegan options. Our waitress was amazing! She was super friendly, accommodating, and helpful. They had live music, excellent! We were at the restaurant but the bar seemed to have lots of patrons having a great time! The decor is very chic, high ceilings, and comfortable seating. We are planning to come back and hopefully they increase their vegan options at some point.

Came here for brunch. This place is nestled in the Fera Hotel and has a lovely, upscale vibe. The staff is friendly and efficient. We ordered the peel stuffed french toast and the peel benys. The Peel Stuffed French Toast- They use brioche with orange cheesecake filling, and mandarin slices to top. The bread is so soft and fluffy and the filling is light with just the right amount of sweetness and pleasant citrus flavor. So good! The Peel Benys- The base is an english muffin topped with habañero glazed pork belly, poached eggs, and orange infused hollandaise sauce, Served with a side of breakfast potatoes. The muffin is soft and the pork belly has a delightful crunch outside with a tender interior. The hollandaise sauce is tasty and ties the flavors together. The potatoes are crisp and hearty. Great experience overall!

The Peel is located inside Hotel Fera and you can park in the lot just out front, on the side of the hotel there's a few spots you can scan the QR code and pay for, or you can park in the parking structure that's behind and to the right of the hotel. Parking validation is done at the front desk. They have a solid menu of appetizers, entrees and desserts and a very nice craft cocktail menu. It's sectioned off at the south east end of the lobby and feels like a more open space than a standard restaurant or bar and the vibe feels very OC, hipster, upscale. The only downside is the service is not consistent the last two times we've been here. The night we visited, there was a singer playing piano between the bar and restaurant area. I love entertainment at any venue, but the sound was way too loud for indoors and we couldn't hear each other talking. The reason I suggested The Peel for dinner was because I've been able to have conversations with friends and catch up without any competing noise from neighboring tables or crowds in the past. Maybe call ahead of time if there's going to be entertainment and if there's an event in town (Motocross was happening this weekend) to gauge the crowd and noise level before you go. The bar is fully stocked and they have a lot of craft cocktails to choose from and the drinks are consistently good. I had the Como la Flor cocktail this night and in the past I've enjoyed the Fera & the Dragonfly cocktails. The appetizers are great to share with your friends and there's lots to choose from. I enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and the mini sliders a lot and my friends really loved the chorizo flatbread. For the entree I got the smash burger and it's pretty filling and rich. You get fries with the order and the fries are perfectly crispy and tasty. For dessert we got the bread pudding, lemon cheesecake and lava cake. The lemon cheesecake was like biting a slice of lemon with some sugar. It's definitely for lemon lovers and I enjoyed it. Bread pudding ice cream was good but the bread pudding was alright and you can't go wrong with lava cake. Again, my only issue with the Peel is the service. It's not very hospitable compared to other restaurants I've visited. There was a bit of a wait from when we were seated to when our server showed up. He took our orders, the food and drinks would show up, and after that we didn't see our server for a while, so we were without drink refills and our table had dirty dishes that just sat there. I glanced around a few times and saw no servers on the floor, a server that was not ours that was far away or would try to flag one down for a refill on our waters but they were quickly leaving the area. We were waiting on the check, but just kept talking instead and then finally, when the check came we were in mid conversation catching up. He stopped by a few minutes later, picked up the check and realized we had not put our cards down to pay it and came back and dropped it off again. We paid using Google-Wallet at their point of sale system and sat back down to finish our conversation and the busser asked if he could remove the dirty dishes on our table and said, in a rude tone, "Yeah because we're closed already." We didn't realize they were closed since there was still a large crowd of people at the bar, and he could have said that in a polite way and said thank you for coming, but he made it known he has to set his jars of jam down on the table for breakfast tomorrow. Honestly, had our server come by much earlier and checked on us and left the bill, we would've left before closing. I don't usually think of a hotel restaurant as a go-to for dinner with friends, but this is the only one in a while that I would recommend because the vibe is unique. I hope the service improves, but other than that it's a solid restaurant.

We stayed at the hotel and wanted to grab some dinner and glad we did it wasn't busy, we got our seats promptly and order as well we order Brussels sprouts, mussels and flat bread pizza there were all good and even the water there was no bad taste in the water Thas a plus for me but the food was on point wondering if they have another restaurant or just exclusive to this hotel the food was amazingly good stupid good pizza was fresh cheese oowee gooey good the bread and butter to the mussel was good the sliders were on point, we had to come back for brunch the hash brown cake to die for, and they made a special request for me even tho they didn't serve flat bread pizza the made the exception thank you again, the presentation plating matches the taste and the ambiance is nice and fancy the decor and service to the food you would think your at an high end restaurant. Thank you peel you will be the reason why we will come back and stay at Fera. Great job to all staff that put in the work thank you !!! 5 stars

Inside the Hotel Fera Anaheim. Nice seating area with plenty of open seating and areas to have perusal conversations. Service really isn't the greatest. We only saw the waiter when we placed our order and received our check. Wanted to get additional syrup but even the other waiters walked by so fast we couldn't get anyone's attention. The food itself was good. Pretty much the only reason for a 3 star rating.

It felt like your typical "hotel restaurant"... just had that vibe. But with that being said, our server was great, food was delicious, and we had some great cocktails. Might not be the vibe you're looking for, for the perfect date night out (lots of business dinners going on, etc) but definitely a great little night out still, some great cocktail options, and we'll be back. Docking a star just for the overall vibe and there were a couple things we wanted from the menu that weren't available.

The Peel is located inside the Hotel Fera. The space is on the main level in the back, and is very open and well lit. There seems to be a cool outdoor area with seating, fire pits, and even a water feature! BAR: The first thing you see is the big beautiful bar. It's a large square shape with seating on three of the four sides. There are TV's on each side, a nice display of bottles behind the bar, and another display of bottles above your head for decoration. DRINKS: They have a dozen specialty cocktails featuring your standard spirits. The presentation on some of these is fun, and there were a handful that I wish I could have tried. You can also order custom cocktails as they have a full bar. There are ~10 options for both red and white wines. They serve 6oz, 9oz, and full bottles. A few of the options are only available as full bottles. There are also a couple sparkling options available in 6oz and full bottles. While I didn't see a beer menu, I noticed around 10 tap handles at the bar. The cocktails we tried: - Como La Flor (Teremana Resposado, Grapefruit, Lime, Lavender-Infused Simple Syrup, Grapefruit Soda, Butterfly Pea Flower Tea - $16.50) - This was really refreshing and wasn't overly tart or bitter. It's a beautiful purple color and served with a slice of grapefruit in the glass. - So Cal Sling (St. George Gin, Luxardo Bianco, St. Germain, Pineapple, Fresh Lime, Bitters, Club Soda - $16) - I was going between this and the Gene Autry, and our server recommended this one. The spirit flavor was there, but not overpowering. Another refreshing cocktail served in a highball style glass with a dried pineapple garnish. - The Fera (Ketel One, Basil, Cucumber, Mint, Fresh Lemon Juice, Simple Syrup - $16) - This was the replacement drink for one that was sent back. The display on this one is fun with some cucumber slivers on a skewer. She said it was crisp and delicious, and really enjoyed it. FOOD: We came with a small group of 3 and decided to order some dishes to share amongst us. We got: - Mediterranean Charcuterie Board (Spanish chorizo, prosciutto, capicola, salami, manchego cheese, point reyes cheese, brie cheese, pickled vegetables, olives, grain mustard, crispy baguette - $22) - This thing is loaded. Great value for the price, they definitely don't skimp on the meat. I do wish there was more cheese, but the ones they included were very tasty. We ended up taking a lot of this one home and enjoyed it on the couch a few days later! - Peel Fish Tacos (Mahi Mahi, sour orange adobo, corn tortilla, citrus, coleslaw, fire roasted tomato salsa, guacamole, lime, chipotle aioli, cilantro - $18) - These were solid. They come with 3 per order, which was perfect for our group size. The fish is grilled, not fried, and has great flavor! - Crispy Brussel Sprouts (Balsamic, honey syrup, crispy onions, roasted shishito peppers - $13) - There was a lot going on here, but it worked! I liked the crispy onions on top, and don't think I've ever had brussels with shishito peppers. - Tempura Cauliflower (Sweet chili BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, scallions - $15) - This might have been the favorite dish of everything we ordered. One of our guests is Gluten Free, so she wasn't able to try this one... too bad! We ordered an extra side of the sauce, which was REALLY good. Would for sure order this one again! - California Hummus (Sundried tomato, cucumbers, niçoise olives, Temecula olive oil - $12) - I only had a few bites of this, but it was tasty. I don't love olives, and it has little pieces of olive spread out on top, which I didn't love. It comes with cute little soft pita pieces, though we added a side of tortilla chips ($4) to accommodate our GF friend. PARKING: There is a self-parking lot that is part of the hotel. You grab a ticket on the way in, and are supposed to get it validated before you leave. OVERALL: We came with a small group to celebrate a friend's birthday, and had a lovely time. It was a Wednesday evening, and not busy at all-a few people at the bar and a few tables in the dining room. Our server, Bryan, was friendly and made recommendations on favorite / popular dishes. One of the people in our party didn't love the first cocktail she ordered, and he happily replaced it without issue. I would definitely recommend checking out The Peel for some great cocktails and delicious food! IG: @bbnem.eats

Love the ambience of this place! Came here for a dinner and was pleasantly surprised there was live music. Unfortunately, the waitress helping us missed the orders of a couple members of our group and seemed rather annoyed with the party the entire time we were there. The food was delicious- definitely recommend the fish tacos and beef check ragu. Parking is either valet or in the parking structure around the corner. Would only come back if actually staying in the hotel.

Very cute place and food was super tasty. The server was friendly and suggested amazing drinks and items off the menu!
