Refined Modern Mexican inside St. Regis with standout brunch views and polished service; food quality is generally strong but value and consistency vary at peak or holiday events.
Diana delivers solid hotel dining with exceptional views of Reforma and the Angel and warm, attentive service that elevate the experience. However, inconsistent execution during peak times and holidays—including overcooked seafood and service lapses—prevents it from reaching grade A territory. Best experienced during calm brunch periods when the kitchen and front-of-house perform at their polished best.
Set on the third floor of The St. Regis, the room feels elegant and polished with sweeping views of Reforma and the Angel. Guests highlight warm, attentive service and a relaxed brunch vibe, with one diner sharing, "The team kept us comfortable and the view did the rest." Holiday periods can be bumpy for reservations, so expectations matter. The kitchen leans Modern Mexican with creative, produce-driven plates rather than theatrics: aguachile, octopus in chilmole, and even gnocchi with salsa borracha. Most plates are well-executed and nicely presented, though a few reports cite overcooked seafood or bland sauces when the room is busy. It suits travelers and locals seeking refined hotel dining over street-style tradition. Families are welcome. Staff have prepared simple kid requests like a custom pasta and the brunch spread includes friendly options like eggs, chilaquiles, and sandwiches. While there is no explicit kid menu, the mix of approachable dishes and flexibility works for many families; just note portions and pricing reflect a luxury hotel setting.
