Hope 46

I love this restaurant and hotel! Everything I've had here has been excellent. The seasonal veggies are my personally favorite, with or without salmon. Collin the bartender is one of the coolest and helpful people I've encountered on my numerous stays and dining experience. All the wait staff are pleasant and the food is really good.I think this place is a hidden gem

This classic American pool cabana serves up cocktails, mocktails, and all sorts of fried food for locals who know the Lafayette swim club as well as out of towners who are smart enough to stay at this glamour of yesteryear hotel. Expect bartenders and wait staff with years of exp and tattoos to match their attitudes. Ask for a table overlooking the pool, or splurge and get the pool pass so you can partake in the water sport activities. The pool is very kid friendly.

Wow! What a great experience at Hope 46! When you enter the Lafayette Hotel's main entrance (on El Cajon), walk towards the outdoor pool and Hope 46 will be on the left hand side. A delicious breakfast with the eggs and chorizo, the beans and cotija cheese, two corn tortillas, red potatoes with cooked bell peppers and onions, a sliced avocado half and house salsa. I also ordered a pretty tasty Bloody Mary and a "Man-mosa" (a mimosa with a shot of vodka). Alexandra was my server and bartender and she was outstanding! Made the whole experience that much better. Parking might be difficult as it's limited around the area and their are some metered spots.
