| - We went for sunday brunch so here we go:
The Good : This place overlooks the pool and no one seemed to care if we hung out by the pool after you eat. For the price of admission you get to eat from 10 to 4, we showed up at 11 so we made a full day out of it. For 16 bucks you get all you can drink Chandon champaign, mimosas, or billinis. Needless to say my wife got hammered.
The Bad : The food wasn't too good, here is the deal, there is a small buffet that serves up some interesting paninis (good), there is a smoothie bar (ehh), sushi (sucked), a few pastries (real small selection but good), and candy (it's candy). Everything else you order off the menu. They have pizza (margarita was real good) different benedicts that were ok, and what they call white trash stuff, it was like pigs and blankets and chicken and waffles. Basically everything came out just ok, soggy waffle and chicken. The eggs with the benedicts did come out cooked right. Everyone gets all excited about the lobster benedict but you can't bribe me with a few tiny lumps of over cooked lobster. Just everything tasted precooked and like it was being kept warm in the back, it probably was. Oh ya, the biscuits and gravy sucked as well as our service for the most part. They have simons signature dessert the junk food platter which is cotton candy (awesome) and home made snow balls and hostess cupcakes (the real deal is better for sure) and a crusty brownie and a chocolate chip cookie. It's a cool idea but doesn't taste that good.
The Ugly : Brunch for 2 with one champaign with tip was 115 F&%@ dollars. We could have went to breakfast and ordered everything we ate off a menu and it would have been less and it would been fresh and would have tasted better. If it was cheaper we would probably come back because the selection is fun and so is the pool but it was just too pricey, for 115 bucks I want to eat something amazing.
We ate at simon at the hard rock a few years ago and It wasn't too good and this place didn't change our minds about this chef, sorry.
