    Nice cafe with good service, excellent cocktails, and a good range of food options. Seating was barely comfortable for dining (it's really a cocktail bar with slightly lower tables and chairs than a traditional restaurant, at least where we were seated for our 5:30pm dinner reservation. It was just too loud. Perhaps if they had seated us more than 10' from the bar it would have been better. We'd still come back but ask for a quieter table if that is an option.

    Great place to go when in the area and/or need a place to get some food and drinks before going the theater nearby!

    Nice large space with very nice waitstaff. Although not top of the top, good Spanish food, and fun lounge seats to sit in.

    Went for Mother’s Day but was a pretty simple and limited hotel buffet for $25 a person plus $10 mimosas which were just ok. Glad they had availability but wouldn’t go back.

    The restaurant had an elegant ambiance w/a chic, modern decor infused w/textured, luscious scheme, soft lighting, luxurious furnishings, lounge comfortable seating with elbow room for an stylish vibe. The customer service was excellent, very attentive, and appropriate casual & nice conversation. They had a well-thought-out menu, a traditional bar, a good wine menu but the food was less than desirable….tasted like some unfrozen microwave dinner warmed up; however, my husband did thoroughly enjoy the latte. I’m not a drinker but I would say it’s a nice place for a romantic evening for a date to have drinks & converse.

    Happy hour at Corella is the best! Loved the service and the tapas style food, all for a really good price. The cocktails are delicious too!

    Unexpected great meal! The restaurant in the AC Hotel was beautiful and meal was delicious. I’ll definitely return when I visiting the area and would love it as a “go to “ neighborhood restaurant if I lived in the area.

    The food was absolutely delicious. However, the 30 minute wait after I asked for my check brought the experience down a bit.
