180blu

Stopped by on the way back from San Diego.  Ambiance, food, drinks and service is amazing!!!  Great place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon.

Was staying at the RC so decided to check out the beautiful rooftop lounge/restaurant they have here.

I have to say it's a really nice environment.. small and cozy but cute with couches, firepits and lots of places to sit.  It does get crowded but we were able to find a place to sit around 6PM with no problem.

The food was good.. some better than others. The sushi was very fresh if a bit pricey but it is the Ritz. ;-) I didn't like the lomo saltado cuz it had bell peppers in it. I've had this dish numerous times in my life and never seen it with bell peppers so I'd pass on that. The grilled cheese sandwich was yummy as were most of the other items we tried. The drinks were also very very good.

You also can't beat the views.. gorgeous place to watch the sunset. :-)

Wow. We were here last year as a hotel guest. It was probably 4 star then. This year, we noticed a definite increase in customer service. The views are legend, especially from the 180 bar. The hotel is gorgeous. The walk along the beach - fabulous. We mentioned to the waitress at the 180 that it was our anniversary that week and she brought us a special gift with a hand written note. How do they instill that kind of consideration in a staff member? We were staying at the hotel and called the concierge a couple times during the week for special requests. Not only did they deliver immediately, someone called a couple hours later to followup. We had our dog with us. Staff was very welcoming of her everywhere we went, including 180blu. It is worth the trip here.
