The live music is a nice surprise, no cover charge either. Sat in the historic adobe building and it just felt right, you know? That kind of authentic vibe is hard to find.

Our server was so kind and really knew the menu. Suggested the mushroom risotto and it was spot on. You could tell the whole team actually enjoys working here, which is nice.

Been coming here for years. The live music they get is always solid, never feels like a tourist trap. Just a good, local vibe. That&rsquo;s what keeps me coming back.

Prices are decent for a hotel spot. The breakfast spread has solid meats and breads, coffee&#39;s always hot.

Loved the covered patio for a rainy lunch. The chicken tacos were really good, and the staff was so nice to our pup. That second-floor view of the plaza is a lovely bonus.

Authentic food with clear vegetarian labels. Service was responsive, and the place is spotless. Good for a quick business lunch.

Celebrated a birthday with a big group here. The staff handled our table so smoothly, which was a relief. Food came out looking nice and all together, which isn&#39;t always easy with a party our size.

Came here for a date night. The steak was cooked just right, and the old building vibe is pretty cool. A bit pricey, but it&#39;s a solid spot for a nice evening out.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Their herbal tea selection is good, and the pastries are consistently fresh. I grab a croissant and tea here a couple mornings a week before heading to the office. It&#39;s convenient and reliable.

The dim lighting and cocktail jazz music really set a nice vibe. I liked the Southwest decor too. The lamb shank was good, and we started with the sourdough bread.

The Caesar salad is pretty good, and I liked the anchovies. The pasta bolognese was decent, too. The lasagna was a bit heavy for my taste, but it was fine overall.

The portions here are no joke. I had to take half my Reuben home. Fries were crispy and well-seasoned. Service was quick and friendly. Good spot for a solid lunch.

The chicken burrito is massive! So much tender chicken inside, and that verde sauce is so good. Sat at the bar with a friend and our server was super nice and quick. Perfect spot for a casual catch-up.

Their gluten-free pizza crust is so good, I almost forgot it was gluten-free. The breadsticks too. It&#39;s just nice to not have to explain myself or worry. A real find for anyone who needs this.

Great spot for a quick bite. The yard is huge, perfect for kids to run around. They have cornhole and volleyball too. Food came out fast, which is what I needed. Portions were decent. A solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

The flatbread was solid, well-seasoned. Duck topping is a bit of an acquired taste, but the base itself was good. Service was prompt, which I appreciate on a work lunch.

The green chile mayo on the burger was a great touch. Just the right amount of heat.

Interesting menu with good options for vegetarians and meat eaters. I had the grilled halloumi salad - it was well-prepared. The vibe is casual, comfortable for a business lunch. Service was efficient.

The breakfast burrito was packed with good stuff, and the croissant was nice and warm. Really liked the chill garden area inside.

Stopped by on a road trip. The green chile stew was exactly what I needed. Cozy spot, friendly staff. Might be a bit pricey for the portion, but I&#39;d probably swing by again if I&#39;m passing through.

Cozy spot in the hotel lobby, and the fireplace seating is a nice touch. The chill background music really sets a relaxed vibe. I had the mushroom risotto&mdash;creamy and cooked just right, with good flavor from the mushrooms. Portion was decent. A solid, comfortable place for a quiet meal.
