    Menu is extremely limited and not alot to choose from. The struggle was real. We picked to eat here based on the online menu. This place is empty and only 4 seats at the bar taken up by construction workers. The server told me they heated up the soup on the microwave...no French dip, no poke etc...the vibe is a hotel lobby not upscale at all. Like a holiday inn

    This restaurant accommodated a high school Disney field trip and the breakfast was awesome. But I came here another time previously to this and the poke nachos were really disappointing. It felt like a restaurant trying to be bougie and fancy but it was just alright. For the price it's not worth it in my opinion. Some of the portions were worth it like the rice dish I ordered attached to the image but for what we paid it was definitely not worth it so I won't be coming again. Maybe it's because they're so close to Disneyland they decided to up the prices. Lesson learned. Thank you, nonetheless. :)

    Lobster Ravioli
    Lisa S.

    A hidden gem in Disneyland! This is a wonderful place to eat a fancy-ish dinner for a reasonable price. After a long day at Disney, we wanted a nice dinner but we didn't want to pay downtown Disney prices. Since we were staying at the Four Points hotel, we decided to walk back and give it a try. We didn't have high expectations given it was a hotel restaurant. However, once we arrived around 6pm we were instantly seated. I was hangry so this made me so happy. We ordered coconut shrimp as an app, lobster ravioli and short rib for our entrees. The appetizer came out right away probably within 5 min. It was freshly fried, and delicious. Highly recommend! Lobster ravioli - HEAVENLY. I am a lobster fanatic and the dish was super rich and creamy, with hints of flavorful lobster pieces inside. It also had some tender shrimp (not listed in the description) which was a nice add on protein. Brownie Sundae - I mentioned to the server there was a check in offer, and I was offered a free dessert. I chose the brownie sundae (because chocolate and ice cream duh) and it was really good! Super warm and rich, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I preferred that the brownie would've been more fudgey instead of cakey, but my husband liked the chocolate flavor a lot. TLDR: if you don't want to be hangry for dinner after Disneyland and want a nice fancy dinner with food service, head here at dinner hour and you'll be impressed!

    Food: this was our first time and EVERYTHING we ate tasted delicious! LUNCH: Lobster ravioli: 8.5 of 10 -ravioli was well boiled and sauce was good just a little too much Lemon pepper chicken: 10 of 10 -seasoning was balanced and the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist/juicy on the inside Kid's pepperoni pizza: 8.5 of 10- kid approved with the right amount of dough to cheese and pepperoni Shrimp garlic noodles: 9 of 10-great taste and blend of sauce, garlic and shrimp was good size Desserts: brownie Sunday- 9 of 10 warm brownie with crispy outer and moist and delectable inside. Bread pudding: 5 of 10 unfortunately not a favorite. The bread pudding had an interesting flavor and taste, and not as moist and tasty as other amazing dessert. DINNER: Braised short rib: 10 of 10- "butter meat" amazing especially when the meat falls off the bone and melts in your mouth upon contact! Chicken and waffle: 9.5 of 10 -perfect combination with the chicken and waffle combo; not too sweet with the chicken warm and crispy, and the waffle was prepared just right. Brownie Sunday with two scoops: 10 of 10 was even better than from earlier today and with a strawberry and extra scoop (and red eye coffee on the side)! Service: both at lunch, dinner and upon check in--the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful in making sure we were settled and welcomed to this small yet friendly hotel. Ambiance: not crowded at all--folks came and went and we had the place to ourselves for a little while until families started showing up. Family friendly and look forward to visiting again!

    Lil Asian twist located inside four points Sheraton. Once inside the restaurant we were greeted and seated by the bartender. Once we were established the bartender asked us if we would like to start off with something to drink? I responded yes, and we are going to order a few things most likely it will be over 30 bucks so can I cash in on this yelp coupon? Waiter was cool he said no problem. The ambiance was very nice and peaceful. Then comes the waiter. I felt like he was a little standoffish at first because I seen some pics on yelps page and I wanted to order some of the dishes there. Unfortunately the menu has changed dramatically, but there were still great choices. I ordered the salmon fried rice and my fiance ordered the teriyaki chicken and veggies with a side of BBQ wings. I then asked him about the yelp check in and he told me they did not do it anymore. I responded well that's funny because the bartender said no problem. I asked to speak to the manager? He responded in a firm tone that she was out. Then he looked at the bartender as if I was lying and asked him while my time was running out on my coupon. My coupon was honored so I received a shock top beer with my dinner. Both of the main dishes were really delicious, but the wings were super dry. It was like eating Jerky with BBQ sauce on it. At the end of dinner the waiter let his hair down a little and asked us how we liked everything. Management please update your employee's on this matter, because sometimes I just check in because of the Lil perks. You almost lost 70 bucks over a 6 dollar drink, from bad customer service. Which was better at the end of dinner.

    The menu pricing was not accurate. Restaurant management would not honor the pricing as shown on Yelp/GrubHub. The food was mediocre.

It's an intimate steak & seafood restaurant and I recommend if you want to have a quiet dinner. We started off with the blue fin crudo and everything about this dish was on point. Fish was fresh and the combination of avacdo, the seeds, the sauce, it was all a delicious app put together. Highly recommend this dish! For another seafood dish, we ordered the scallops. This is where it kinda fell short. Usually scallop in my opinion should be a little bit more firm as far as texture goes. I felt it might have been just a little undercooked. Unfortunately, we weren't a big fan of this dish. Presentation looked nice though. We both had one last dish, which was the skirt steak. This dish definitely saved the night. Cooked with perfection and the perfect temp to medium. It paired really well the sauce and the broccolini. Very tender. Good dinner spot for steak, the scallops fell short. That does not mean I won't come back!

They said they can remove protein from pastas like scampi or mac n cheese and just give us dough and butter. Food lacked any flavor or cook or technique and everydish was above 20$. Some drinks straight up taste like turpentine. Service: horrible. I tried to give them benefit of doubt thinking they're inexperienced, but they seem ignorant and rude. They were pretty empty and were so rude about reservations even though we had them. It's also in the packing district with 10 other great restaurants so 100% will not recommend.

We stopped by on a Friday before noon, originally just planning to grab some frozen black cod. But while browsing the market, we spotted sea bream, which is much harder to come by, so we ended up picking up about 1.6 lbs ($35/lb). Haven't tried it yet, but will definitely update this review once we do. This review is actually for the bar seating area, which I believe operates as a separate restaurant under the same owner. You get to taste sushi made from the same fresh seafood being sold in the market. Of course I can't talk about the food without talking about the prices. They have a Happy Hour menu (the green one -- see photos), and when we went, they were also running a BOGO deal on several items and one being black cod $10 for 4 pieces. Such a steal. The slices were on the thinner side, but the quality was still amazing, especially for the price point. Fresh, clean flavors, and you can tell the fish is high quality. I totally wish we could've tried more items, but we had just eaten lunch beforehand. The employees and the owner, I think, was really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Between the market and the bar, this place is a win. I'll definitely be coming back, both for the fresh fish selection and for a sit down.

They said we could chill at the bar and use the waitlist for a table (~45 min) and we said sure, that sounds nice, we're not in a rush, and I wanted seafood. There was the option of eating at the bar too, but when I checked OpenTable ~15 min after ordering drinks, it said we were second in line and I didn't want them to have to transfer our order from bar to table so we waited... and waited........ and waited. And waited for almost 2 hrs while multiple tables in the restaurant sat empty basically since the time we sat down at the bar. I didn't ask the hostesses earlier cause I figured maybe they're for a reservation soon but NOPE, never got filled the entire time we waited. Finally when it seemed like the hostesses were becoming bored standing there and the restaurant was emptying out, and I overheard our bartender say the dinner rush is starting soon, I went to go ask if our table was ready. At this point, OT had shown first in line out of 2 total parties for at least 30 min. I kind of expected the hostess to be like, yeah table will be ready in 10 min, sorry for the delay. Instead she looks, and immediately goes, "we're setting it up right now :)", which tells me you guys forgot LOL. We were brought to the back area of the restaurant where legitimately, most of the tables were empty. Why bother with the OpenTable waitlist if you're going to completely disregard it? If you get added to the waitlist, be more proactive than me with inquiring about your table since the waitlist clearly doesn't mean much. Only saving grace was the food was mostly delicious, maybe because I was starving after the 2 hour wait (it was like 3:45pm by this point), and both bartenders were really nice. Spot prawns were amazing, halibut was amazing, bread was good, raw bar pretty fresh (the room temp uni was really weird), clams were good, skip the halibut cheeks, and most important of all, make a reservation.
