Beautiful dining area. Staff is extremely helpful. The food is excellent. The French toast has a nice glaze on it as well as being a cinnamon roll type bread. 10/10 recommend.

We came in our first night staying at the hotel. Love the decor and vibe. It's located on the first floor right next to the pool. We had a few glasses of wine while the kids were swimming and when they were done we went in for dinner. The kids had pasta Fettuccine Alfredo pasta, flatbread pizzas and the loaded Mac and cheese ( the favorite of everyone) which they enjoyed! The adults had Fish Tacos, Cesar Salad with chicken, and Roasted chicken with Risotto with a few bottles of red wine Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. I can't speak enough about the service staff and bartenders here. The made our experience here Fantastic!

All around pretty bad. Service was incredibly slow. at one point, to get another drink my wife gave up on the server and went to the bar to order it herself. One of the five entrees our party was completely forgotten about. after the other four people were about halfway done, the server finally reappeared to ask how everything was. reminder her about the missing dish. they got it out in about 10 minutes. other parts of order were also wrong. Food quality was mediocre-certainly did not match with the price. the new york strip was better than denny's, but probably not as good as what you could do for yourself at home. minimally seasoned (although still overly salty). the mushrooms and potatoes it came with had enough salt to put a normal person into congestive heart failure.

This place should be ashamed of itself for even claiming what they serve is edible food. The hotel forces guests to buy a $25 food & beverage credit; resto has no motivation it seems to put forth even a modicum of effort. Gross.

Was a cozy little restaurant inside of the Viv hotel. Food was good. Wait staff were very attentive and honest about kitchen situations. Will eat here

5/5 for service. The wait staff and bartenders are very friendly, attentive and personable. 0/5 for food. The food is awful. It does not taste like restaurant quality. Luckily, we had $25 food vouchers to use because I would be pissed if I actually had to pay for the food. Spaghetti - flavorless, needed seasoning Alfredo - chicken looked and tasted old Salmon - meh (edible), needed salt and pepper, fried rice did not look or taste like fried rice Spinach artichoke dip - dip was incredibly stringy and hard to chew (had to remove several bites because the artichoke was too hard), chips were good Egg rolls - came out of a box, edible but not good Caesar w/ shrimp - only half decent item on the menu, could eat again The venue is beautiful but very deceiving. You would expect the food to be on par with the ambiance. Overall, don't eat here. You will be disappointed and left unfulfilled.
So the food was good, not great and not terrible. A few of the items were a little too salty, and that's coming from my husband who uses way too much salt. I think this restaurant has a lot of potential and should work on their menu in order to justify their prices. However, I will say the cocktails are amazing! My husband likes an NA beer from time to time and they didn't have any on hand, which is surprising but hopefully the restaurant will consider in the future.

Had low expectations for the free/included breakfast from the Viv hotel. Included food options well exceeded expectations. Avocado toast was very large and filling. Husband got huevos rancheros which he enjoyed.

We stay at the Vic every year for my daughters and we enjoy a dinner or breakfast at Valencia's each time. The food is delicious and all the servers are friendly and welcoming. The bartenders are also great. We look forward to our visit every year.

The hostess was very nice, the food was excellent, great ambiance, and was very prompt. Our server was excellent- friendly, quick and brought everything - condiments and the like- before we asked. We will be back!
My husband and I stayed here on our recent trip to Disneyland. Valencia's is inside of the Viv. We decided to drop by for some appetizers and some drinks. My husband and I are on a pretty strict diet right now. Otherwise we would've tried something else. We ordered the Mocktail the guacamole with chips, and the chicharrones. The guacamole and the chips were OK. I will say that it was just smashed avocado with some lime. The cicerones had an OK flavor, but they were really crunchy. We were scared we were going to hurt our teeth. Luckily, the mock tails were really good! They kind of tasted like an alcohol, free margarita. We went around dinner time and it was pretty busy with a bunch of people grabbing drinks. The service was great.

Had a great experience at the bar. We went in to redeem our free drink vouchers good for a couple cocktails. They had a 2 cocktails options and a lavender mocktail also. We naturally got one of each cocktail. They were pre-batched and pretty boozy, and a nice welcome from the hotel. Pretty basic presentation since they were free, but others who ordered and paid got some cute Cucumber Mickey ears on theirs and a larger pour, but honestly no complaints for the free bevvie. We also ordered a local hazy IPA which was good, and a strawberry cocktail with egg white that was too easy to drink down. Def worth a visit if staying in the hotel.

Food was good. Servers were consistently great- kind, thoughtful, efficient. Unlike the wonderful wait staff, the hostess was remarkably unwelcoming, stone-face & mildly rude three mornings in a row. Her behavior was notable by other guests too who had similarly cold treatment by the host.

Reduce your expectations We ate a late lunch. The causal vibe of the restaurant is nice but the reality of teen travel teams running around unsupervised took away from the ambiance. Chaperones were enjoying their drinks and pretty checked out.Service was friendly. Timing of service was slow. We were the only active guests in the restaurant and it took more than 10mins from the time we were seated for the single server to come over. It appears the server is also tasked with the pool area for drinks.We ordered tacos and the kitchen took about 20mins to get those out.Tacos were street style but with only one corn tortilla under each--this means they fall apart and you are eating them with a fork.We were guests at the hotel and had a food credit to use otherwise we would not have chosen to eat there.

The food was terrible, the server took forever to come to our table, the guac had zero flavor, barely any salt. The steak was absolutely awful with zero flavor. Would not recommend anyone to dine there. Only thing good was the drinks.
