"Our experience at Teak seems to have differed vastly from other reviewers. We were disappointed in most aspects of our dinner. The positives: most of the restaurant does appear to have great views, even after dark as there was a beautiful full moon reflecting on the water. Our appetizer was tasty (the brussel sprouts). And the staff was quick to move us to a different table when one of the diners at the table next to us continued to carry on a loud conversation using the speaker on her phone and it became bothersome. The less positive: the restaurant was nowhere near full yet we were moved to a table with a view of 3 TV 's (but fortunately without sound on) right next to a quite lively party of 6. Not the greatest atmosphere. My husband 's salmon was fine but my steak frites arrived barely room temperature and the parmesan fries were cold. Looked and tasted like inexpensive cafeteria food. The restaurant is large and open with extremely high ceilings which creates a mixed bag for the dining experience--nothing cozy about it but I can 't imagine the sound level if there were low ceilings. Possibly lunch would be a better choice here, so what 's lacking in the food quality is somewhat balanced by the view."

"revisited this wonderful space after a beautiful birthday dinner for my partner in the oktober. have my best friend here for her birthday on 3/28, for a Monday night they would expect to be a Friday as packed it was. great sitting options and I love the availability for bar seats, personal is incredible and hard working. Never a disappointment here, the entire ambiente is romantic and friendly for every occasion. Fast sitting, served hot and fresh dishes. the bartender was super helpful and friendly, we ordered my favorites the red sangria pitcher a lot of favorites of my friends and me. the plucked cheese is so delicate and perfectly shaken with honey. bacon wrapped termins are really addictive, the deep smokey taste and the sweet of the date mixed with the valdeón mousse really kicks it on another level. Do not skip on the jamón somego croquets that they so mistakenly miss. hot, fresh, oozing hot cheese and salty sink, all they want in this wealthy taste. we enjoyed the beet salad with the valdeòn mousse and topped from our night with the flan. incredibly tender and tasty. the only menu item I would not recommend would be the calamari, it is standard in comparison to all the rest of the menu and nothing to write home. skip it when they can and order the chorizo with sweet and acidic feigen."

"My rating has justified reasoning - not some "it's trendy and I want to go against the grain" opinion. The food was good, didn't meet the $50 price. BUT that is not why the score is low. We were delivered the wrong appetizer, but that didn't stop my 10 month old from grabbing the glob of mustard from the wooden serving board (uh... He's 10 months old and grabs at anything). After explaining that we did not order it, they (waiter and server) took it back to the open kitchen area, scraped it off, reapplied the mustard, and reserved it to an unsuspecting patron!? Food safety issues are rarely isolated especially when a few are involved. From my experience of owning a restaurant, you need to instill good habits - even if there will be food waste. The service was pretty poor as well. Very little interaction and not attentive. The wait staff seems really green (didn't get silverware till requesting it after having our appetizer, wasn't really friendly, took 2 requests for straws). The only reason this is not a 1 star was that the bacon bleu cheese burger was pretty tasty. The burger was cooked well, juicy, great bun, hearty meat taste, and a pretty good size (although pricey ($16) for a burger). Here are the scores: Bacon bleu cheese: 8/10 Fries: 6/10 (not crispy in any way) Bread/jam appetizer: 7/10 (was wishing for a little more basil flavor to spice up the jam, but the bread was soft with a crisp -not tough- crust)"

"It’s no secret that people on the West Coast are more polite and welcoming but that’s understated until you visit the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Beverly Hills.The front desk people were cheerful and, on the morning of July 3, a room service attendant whose name I can’t recall even asked me how I was enjoying my stay and gave me assistance getting to the garage after I had checked out (keys are required to access floors from the elevator). But it is a front desk agent named Emily that I want to sing my praises to.It would have been sufficient for Emily to have been friendly, respectful and attentive – that’s how customer service representatives are supposed to act. Emily’s personality, however, was magical. She was so warm and so welcoming that she was infectious. She answered questions eagerly and with confidence. The Palomar was super busy that weekend and, having worked in the hotel business myself at one point, I know that it is tempting to speak sluggishly or struggle to put on a happy face after a while. Not Emily.Emily was extraordinary in another manner. As an IHG member, I had intended to stay at the Palomar only one of my three nights in the L.A. area because the points I had only covered it. It was Fourth of July weekend and it was obviously more expensive. I had booked another hotel but really liked Palomar. I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay but two things changed my mind. One was riding by the other hotel and finding, from the outside that it was more shady than it looked online and the neighborhood was not the greatest. The other factor that convinced me to stay at Palomar and spend a great deal of extra money was knowing Emily would be there. I may be embarrassing her but that's how super her guest service skills are and that’s what will bring me back next time I make it to L.A.Thank you Emily for making my stay at Palomar so pleasurable. You truly represent the best of the hospitality industry.Scott"
