We came for Easter brunch as we do each year but this year was a shocking disappointment food-wise, yet the per person cost was even higher than last year, nearly one C-note per person. Gone was the prime rib, ham, lamb, shrimp, crab legs, pasta, dinner entrees, salads, fruits, assorted desserts, omelette station, pastries, bagels, eggs benedict, and scrambled eggs. Offered were two dry chicken entrees and an overcooked quesadilla dish, a few basic breakfast items, two simple salads, and two desserts. We were surprised and extremely disappointed, and we finished our meal in less than 45 minutes since there was little to eat. The dining room was sparsely attended, in contrast to past years; we surmise many diners had caught on to the menu change. Sadly, our dining experience ruined an otherwise happy day of holiday celebration. We will not be coming back.

This was supposed to be an Easter Brunch. It was anything but. For $80 per person, the food was sparse and unoriginal. There was no ham, no carving station, not even any bread! No fruit, nothing! It was dreadful. We should have known when we showed up to a huge ballroom that was completely empty. It was awful, and it’s so disappointing that it was so expensive. One of the worst meals I have ever had.

We have been there a few times now. The first few times were amazing, but this time it was way below par. Just a few food stations — no omelette or waffle stations (which have always been there before). There wasn’t any smoked salmon, which I found very disappointing, and the food stations were sparse. And my eggs were cold! It is also very expensive for the food and service we received. Very disappointing. We won’t be returning.

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate New Year's Eve, and it was a fantastic experience! Sam made us an amazing drink that we absolutely loved. The F&B Manager, Alejandra, was incredibly professional and sweet—she even surprised us with a small discount at the end, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our server, Michael, was also excellent and provided great service throughout the evening. The live music was out of this world—it truly felt like we were in Hollywood! Overall, it was a magical night, and we can’t wait to visit again!"

We went to Cabana Cove restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday with a dinner treat. We enjoyed the holiday dinner menu, which offered good value (especially the ceviche) and excellent service. My friend was craving chips and salsa, which weren’t on the menu, but manager Alejandra surprised us by having the chef prepare them for us. And the best part? They didn’t even charge us for it. We ended up having the New York strip and halibut, though we weren’t impressed with the dessert selection. The staff were fantastic and paid extra attention to our needs. We’re from SoCal and will definitely return the next time we’re in town.

I recently stayed at the Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto and had breakfast at their Canaba Cove restaurant. I ordered the egg white omelet, which was made to perfection—light and fluffy! They offer two options for breakfast: an a la carte menu and an all-you-can-eat buffet, catering to every preference. A delightful start to my stay!

When I arrived I was greeted by a male server at the podium who was very nice. I was meeting a business partner for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by the buffet offerings, various breakfast cereals, warm oatmeal with choice of toppings: brown sugar, nuts, raisins, and there were eggs, sausage, pancakes, sliced fresh fruit. The is also a menu with about 6 to 8 breakfast entrees but I did not order from the menu. All the coffee and OJ I could drink. By the end I was pleasantly full and ready to take on the day's work. My business partner ordered the omelet and it was very large, a good value for the price. The buffet price was $23.95.

Very nice place to go after the workday. What really makes it special is the people. Sam the bartender was such a good guy to talk to and he makes a great cocktail. Place is a little older but has charm.

If zero stars were an option, I'd give it. One would assume that a restaurant in an international hotel chain would be a safe, solid choice for a business lunch. One would be wrong. When we arrived, there were two other (solo) diners in the restaurant, and the server (bartender?) seemed confused about the drink options they could offer. I should have trusted my gut then and suggested our table of 4 go somewhere else. Alas, the service was painfully slow, even for soft drinks and water, and we soldiered on. After one hour and 10 minutes, only two of us had received entrees (burgers and fries), and the other two of us continued to wait. One of us finally got a club sandwich, in which she found a bread clip (the thing that closes a bag of bread). The other of us never got any food at all -- because I was informed (after waiting 1h15) that indeed they didn't have the entree I chose (despite it being just 1 of 5 things on the lunch menu). Instead of waiting longer, we opted to just leave -- but not before the manager insisted that we come back again and get 1/2 off our meal.

I’m so glad we made it in for happy hour! Bar snacks and specialty cocktails all 50% off! What a steal! We shared the Grilled Octopus, Tostones with a delicious Mojo Verde Sauce, and the beef Tallow French fries. They have a beautiful courtyard where we enjoyed the Whiskey Ginger Cove and Sweet & Smokey cocktail. Cocktails and food were full of flavor and perfect for the evening. Thank you to the bartender for the recommendations! We decided to stay for dinner and their 28 Day Dry Aged Ribeye did not disappoint! Highly recommend if you decide to dine here! My date had the Cabaña burger with French fries. Both cooked perfectly medium rare. Will definitely be back!
