After going to the Secret Garden to see the new white lion cubs, I stopped here for lunch when I found out that you could go here even if not a guest of the hotel. I was promptly seated with a good view of the pool area and the waterfall there. No sooner than I sat down, my server Cathy arrived with a tall ice water. She also broguht me an iced tea that I wanted.
I ordered a turkey and bacon sandwich and I mentioned that I could always take half the wrap home with me. Cathy pointed out it was a ciabatta sandwich. I asked her if they could do it as a wrap and she replied that she didn't see where that would be a problem. For a side, I got fries.
The wrap was excellent, filled with much turkey and bacon and the fries were a good accompaniment. I did not get dessert. Instead, I got a to go box and took half the wrap and some fries home.
It was so pleasant sitting there and watching the tourists--one of my favorite things to do in this wonderful city! Even though the temperature was in the high 90s, the outdoor restaurant was pleasant. They have a very good misting system.
Since I have a year's pass to the Secret Garden, I think I'll stop more often during pool season when I go to visit the animals.
