Bar Traza

I came here on Valentine's Day after our reservation was canceled last minute due to an emergency at the other restaurant. I called to make a last-minute reservation and was told that they had one time slot left. When we showed up for the reservation, we were greeted with complete unprofessionalism. Neither host acknowledged us (they just stared blankly) until we spoke. This interaction was juxtaposed with the warm greeting given to the party of two who checked in right in front of us. Then, we were told with a patronizing tone that there weren't any heaters available on the patio. At no point were we informed that there wouldn't be any heaters when we made the reservation (even though the outside temperate was in the upper 40s). There clearly should have been more preparation for Valentine's Day dinner. After being seated, we were ignored for a while before being asked for our drink order. Even after we had ordered food, we waited a very long time to be acknowledged for any follow-on orders and for the check. The host's condescending tone wasn't lost on us either when we finally finished. Not only was it insulting to be treated this way, but we looked down on the lower patio while we were freezing and saw the due attention everyone else was receiving. We even noticed multiple tables open up by the heaters while we remained the only patrons on the heater-less upper terrace, yet no one offered to move us at any point throughout our meal. I'm not sure if it was due to the reservation being last-minute, or just the fact that we must not have appeared worthy to be treated well, but I have never felt that insulted at a restaurant. The only saving grace of this place is that the food was delicious. However, not even delicious food is enough to salvage this tainted experience -- we will not be coming back.

Bar near the omni resort check in. Lovely setting

Had some good appetizers here. Friendly staff. It sometimes got a little noisy and rowdy at times. Good service.

Great place to have a drink overlooking pool area. Had some good mixologists too.

Love La Costa and the energy in their Diversions Lounge. With its HUGE screen, it's also a great place to watch golf tournaments and other sporting events. Overlooks the adults-only Edge Pool.
