| - I almost feel like writing this review might be unfair. I literally feel like family here. I started coming here some time in 2015. Fell in love with the awesome pancakes and started coming more regularly to enjoy pancakes and tacos.
But some where in the year, I started inviting friends to meet me on the roof top for cocktails, or when I scored a pool pass, I would invite friends to join me at the pool to hang out and eat food, or I would bring my laptop and sip coffee and work.
I've never been to a more welcoming establishment! The one thing I will say about Cafe Tranquilo, and the Clarendon, in general, is that the staff goes above and beyond to give you the most amazing service possible. I could list so many instances in which their service was simply amazing, I will share 2.
My A/C broke last year. I wasn't sure that it would be repaired that night. I called and stopped by the front desk to see if they had rooms, explained I wanted to give the repair guys a little longer, but I might be back. An hour later, I get a phone call from the Claredon's front desk asking if I was ok, and did I still want to come back. I was shocked that they would take the time to call! Fortunately, that night, the A/C guys had just notified me that they were about to switch my AC back on.
I stopped in recently, and this inspired my review update.... I pull out my laptop to work in the lounge. My server, Falyn, stops by to take my food order. I say... "Hmmm, I saw some one with cheese fries and chorizo the other day, I could go for something like that...". Falyn simply said, "if we have the ingredients, we can make it, no worries! I'll bring that right out. want anything else on it like sour cream?". Oh, and it was so delicious... so guilt-inducing delicious. Those fries were the most amazing comfort food.
I'm sorry folks, but I go to a lot of restaurants, I co-host a supper club for Pete's sake, and it is rare that you find a restaurant that will go off script/menu for you like this! Rare to find a hotel that will personally phone you, when you haven't actually confirmed a reservation, to let you know they were holding a room for you just in case.
Oh the JOY!
