| - Met some friends for brunch at T. Cooks - it was a really nice place. I am really glad I read the other Yelpers' suggestions before I went. It is a must to order an entree and get the buffet as an add-on. That is a no-brainer. I'm not sure who came up with their pricing for the brunch/entrees, but it was a bit strange - same price to order an entree with the buffet as ordering just the buffet. Huh. Anyhow, the banana stuffed french toast was pretty good - a little dry, but good. One of my other friends ordered the apple and brie french toast - it looked drenched in sauce, but she said it was good. My other friend ordered the salmon - he liked it, but didn't care for the skin left on the salmon. The buffet was good if you plan to eat a ton of crab legs and shrimp. The salads are good, but the selection is very small. The omelet guy makes a really good omelet. Other than that, the buffet is somewhat unimpressive. I should have passed on the buffet. I mostly enjoy buffets for their delicious desserts, and this dessert spread was completely uninspired. The creme brulee was not cooked all the way and the cannoli was just okay. The other desserts were just okay, too - nothing to remember. So... my suggestion is to just order an entree and skip the buffet, unless you are famished and want to stuff yourself - then, go for it! It was pricey, so be prepared for the bill! I probably won't go back for awhile to eat. However, I did stop in the reception for the hotel after brunch and asked to see a casita. They were very accommodating and had a bellman show us a casita room fairly quickly. The room was nice, but the view was really nice! The pool areas are very well maintained. This would be a nice place to come for a romantic weekend get-away.
