| - We purchased the New Year's Eve package with the Copperwynd resort which included dinner and free flowing champagne as well as brunch for two New Year's Day at flourish. Dinner was fine. We like to have a really nice meal on New Year's Eve to celebrate our lives together. The service was a 4 out of 5. The food was ok and dessert (chocolate bread pudding) was less than ok and served cold. The live music was great and we danced until just before midnight when we went to our room. The view was incredible, so I'll add that to my review of the resort itself. Brunch was awful. It wasn't $100 a person, only $38, so I guess I can't compare it to other up scale brunches, but even for that price I expect a decent meal. The selection was slim. They had warming trays out with ham, bacon and potatoes. There was what they called a yogurt bar (with no yogurt in sight) which consisted of wilted salad since it was right by the window and there was not an attempt to keep it chilled, whole pears, pineapple, strawberries and blueberries. There was also a granola and dried fruit tray, but again, no yogurt, chocolate pastries and the most surprising of all was the left over bread pudding from the previous night was served for brunch!! The ham was cold, bacon was swimming in its own grease, the strawberries were oddly squishy, like they were previously frozen and the last bite I took was of a rotten potato. I lost my appetite after that. They did have an omelette bar. The omelettes ended up being the only thing I could really eat. They also had a Bloody Mary bar, we had one trip a piece included in our meal. The bloody was also quite tasty. Overall, I wish the ingredients were fresh, but they weren't. We won't dine here again. It definitely was not worth the price we paid.
