Hotel California

Not a hotel, and unrelated to the Eagles song (which is based on the Beverly Hills hotel), this is basically so-so restaurant and pricey gift shop capitalizing on the famous name and misinformed tourists. So many better options for food and souvenirs nearby…

Stopped into the gift shop to look at potential souvenirs. Displays are tightly packed together, many with breakable items. Kids bumped a shelf and two shot glasses fell off. Things happen, I fully expected to pay for the damage. But what I didn’t expect was one of the employees to follow me around until I paid and then charge me a totally unreasonable amount for them. Clearly I was stuck so he took advantage. Not the kind of place I’d recommend anyone go to,much less anyone with kids who inevitably make mistakes.

Exceptional opportunity to learn recipes, tips, techniques, preparation and enjoyment of creative Mexican cuisine with European influences. Chef Dany is a. master chef who excels as an instructor. He is well prepared, organized, generous with his knowledge; his instructional manner is approachable, patient and easy to follow. His attention to detail is also commendable. The dishes we prepared were visually attractive and creatively plated. Who would have thought we had prepared such fine dining under his tutelage?
