    Menu from february twenty twenty six and the cob salad

    Services waiting for you and accurate pizza.Flat bread is simple, but fresh salads are adequate.Simple and lacking great dressings. Happy hour has good prices from 3-6~Ciders are very good from sonoma @ $4.64!!!!

    Noisy but cool place
    Mahak Jain J.

    Ambiance is great ...... it's inside the Hilton hotel but it's very noisy a kind of bar feeling . Service is slow as they never pick your call for room service . Their was no one at front to ask and then I had to go to person at bar to take my order for to go. It's expensive for stir fry vegetable 25$ but the portions are huge and it comes with salad or soup , potato or rice

    Shrimp Tacos
    Karl A.

    This was more than I was expecting. The host/server Paul was awesome! Great personality and great attentiveness to the tables. I got a well vodka and it was rough. I'm not sure the brand, but it was not great. The shrimp tacos were another story... they were fantastic! The shrimp was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. The slaw was fresh and crisp and the sauce was smooth and flavorful! I will come back just for those! The calamari was good to, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning. Great service, good food, convenient location!

    Omg!! Tania with purple hair is amazing!!!!! She is so good we upgraded drinks and because of her we decided to stay for dinner as well, let me tell you!!! It did not not disapoint!! Ribs were amazing and fetticini as well.. she alone deserves 100 stars!!!

    Came here for the first time, and everyone was so nice. My waiter saw that I had a jacket and brought a small coat stand for my table. They have great customer service. The food was amazing. I recommend the prosciutto pizza. It has a romantic feel with dim lighting and the outdoor area in the back has beautiful green foliage. A great place for a first date an anniversary or a girls night out!

    Flatbread pizza
    Vanessa G.

    This restaurant is not closed. It is fully open. Lovely restaurant located inside the Embassy Suites. My husband and I recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner. We shared the cobb and caesar salads. We also shared a Flatbread pizza and some bar bite happy hour pretzel bites. Everything was delicious. We had wine and some happy hour drinks. Staff was friendly and also quite funny. We had a great experience.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. I gave…read moreReunion Kitchen 1 star across the board because the atmosphere, service, and food all fell well below expectations. The service was by far the worst part. We sat for over **20 minutes** without anyone coming to our table--not even to offer water. I eventually had to get up and ask someone to send a server over. What made it even more frustrating was watching other parties who arrived **15-20 minutes after us** receive water immediately and have their orders taken before anyone even acknowledged our table. After finally waiting another 10 minutes to receive our water, we had to track down our server again just to place our food order because no one returned to check on us. By that point, we had been sitting long enough and were more than ready to order. To make matters worse, we ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp about five minutes after placing our entrée order, but it never arrived. After we had already finished our meals, we asked to cancel it, only to be told that our server had never entered the order in the first place. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the poor service. It lacked flavor and was very underwhelming. This experience was frustrating enough that I cannot recommend Reunion Kitchen. I initially wanted to believe this was simply an off day or an inexperienced server, but after hearing from two other people I know who described nearly identical experiences, it seems this may be a recurring issue. One thing that left me especially uncomfortable was seeing guests who arrived well after us receive prompt attention while our table was repeatedly overlooked. I can't say why that happened, but it certainly made us question whether we were being treated differently. I sincerely hope the restaurant looks into its service standards and ensures every guest is treated with the same level of respect and attention.

I went last night for my best friend's birthday dinner. We originally had 30 people planned to come but only 20 showed up. But Alyssa assured us that was no issue. Even calling the store ahead to plan the dinner was very easy as they were kind and helpful in explaining how the night would go. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. I personally loved their avocado egg rolls and their passion fruit sour. My friend had the best birthday and we are so happy about our experience at Finney's. Thank you again to Alyssa for all of your hard work and for being so cool and thoughtful. We had asked for waters to go but completely forgot them and Alyssa went outside to catch up with us and give us the waters. Such a lovely time! Great food and a good spot for bigger parties.

The food was well-prepared, flavorful, and presented nicely. The portions were satisfying, and the overall quality of the meal was impressive. The service was also efficient, and my order arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a comfortable dining experience with good food and friendly service.I love chopping it up with the servers and bartenders also busser are very helpful and fast paced there was one busser who help us out he had a circle pins around the Finney F logo on their shirt and greeters there are the most best people that explained things before ordering good information to know about and gives us nice seatings and Also are very welcoming and AC in there was so good during a hot day I truly appreciate coming there.

For me this is a perfect spot to have a beer while I charge my car at the supercharger. The ambience is that of a pub so a darker feel and the wooden decor. They also have outdoor seating that is pet friendly. This can be a family friendly environment, but it is mostly a pub. The sitting here works as first come first serve you sit yourself. They have a large bar area that you can sit or the tables. They offer a wide variety of bourbons and malts. I personally like that they offer Guinness on tap and it's always perfect. They have a lot of Hardy British food such as fish and chips and shepherds pie. My boyfriend has gotten to Shepherd pie in the past and it was good just a little bit different than we expected. The pastry was crispy and the sauce was creamier. The fish and chips were delicious. They tend to have different types of entertainments throughout the week. I'm not sure of what day is what but I have seen a magician going around the tables and entertaining families or just groups of friends. I know one night is karaoke night another night they have live music and I am not sure what other types of entertainment they offer. This is a very casual restaurant to come enjoy a good time. I also came here for a few of the World Cup matches and it was a lot of fun! Based on their food, ambience, friendliness and variety of alcohol and drinks that they offer I would say that this is my favourite bar to come by myself and I feel comfortable.

Perfectly sweet and served with dulce de leche, strawberry syrup with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream.. they all go well with the butter cake.

I loved the cheese crusted tortilla on their tacos, and the cueva taco was my fave out of the four! The steak was dry so it was my least fave but the Korean and birria taco were also yummy! Nice way to sample their different tacos! Their guava agua Fresca was a refreshing drink to go with my tacos. My friend ordered their cheese enchiladas in their cream red sauce. She said it was different from any red sauce she has ever had but she said she enjoyed her enchiladas. Service was attentive and friendly. Each server checked in on us regularly.

    Scathing Review Lazy…read moreDog: You Enticed Me Back, Took My Money, and Then Refused to Honor the Gift Cards My first visit to Lazy Dog was on Mother's Day, when I purchased two $50 gift cards from our server. As part of that purchase, I was given $10 gift cards as complimentary promotional cards. The server apparently received a commission for the gift-card sale. At no point during the purchase was I clearly told that the complimentary $10 gift cards had an expiration date or that there were restrictions that could cause them to become worthless. After that Mother's Day visit, I continued receiving hundreds of emails from Lazy Dog encouraging me to come back and dine there. So I decided to give them another chance and went back just for fun. That's when I tried to use the complimentary $10 gift cards I had received with my $100 gift-card purchase--and was told they were expired and would not be honored. What makes this so frustrating is the complete lack of transparency. If these promotional gift cards had an expiration date, that should have been clearly communicated when they were handed to me. Instead, I only found out that they were supposedly worthless when I attempted to use them. Yes, they were complimentary--but that doesn't excuse failing to clearly communicate the terms of the promotion. And considering I had just spent $100 purchasing Lazy Dog gift cards, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the promotional cards to come with clear information about their expiration. The irony is that Lazy Dog spent months sending me hundreds of emails enticing me to return, and I actually listened. I came back because your marketing made me feel like you wanted my business. Instead, my return visit turned into a frustrating experience over promotional gift cards that I had never been told would expire. The issue isn't the $10. It's the principle and the customer experience. If you're going to offer promotional gift cards, clearly state the expiration date and restrictions at the time they're given to the customer--not after the customer has already spent $100 and returned to your restaurant in good faith. Lazy Dog, if you want customers to come back, don't just send hundreds of emails asking them to return. Give them a reason to trust you when they do. My Mother's Day purchase was supposed to be a good experience. My second visit was simply supposed to be fun. Instead, I walked away feeling misled and extremely disappointed. After this experience, I won't be rushing back.
