| - I found this listing on Yelp. After seeing the pics and reviews, I was pretty excited. We came here to meet up with a friend for lunch on Saturday. It's a beautiful environment, with well appointed decorations. The staff are amazingly attentive and friendly.
We sat down to the Brunch menu (it was 12:30 & brunch went until 2:00). My other half couldn't find anything she could order, and they quickly let us know we could order off the dinner menu too.
After reviewing the menu, we all decided to go with the Power salad. My partner changed out the feta cheese and asked if she could have romaine instead of kale. They gladly complied. Very nice.
So why the three stars do you ask? That salad we all got was so dry, overloaded with nuts and cranberries, and just plain boring. In fact, we were all shocked. I am unsure what is "power "about a cup of cranberries and a cup of almonds in a pile of dried kale, topped with another cup of crumbled dry feta cheese. And my partner's salad was a bowl of romaine chopped lettuce topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan and the same nut and cranberry mixture. We all ate quietly, because I think we didn't want to embarrass one another that the salad was so odd.
Again, mind you, the inside facility was simply stunning with the decorations. As one entered into the female bathroom, there was a separate front area for washing one's hands that was simply lovely. There was a painted saying on the wall stated "How lovely you are!"
These are all great touches! However, I actually came to enjoy the food. I was rather sad that I invited my friend to come here. But I didn't know until I partook. I've heard the drinks are really great here from our hotel staff. So I guess if I ever come back, that's all I'm Coming in for.
