No tables. 90 minute+ wait. just told us “too bad” and we should try to go somewhere else. We were staying at hotel. No offer for take-out, nothing.

My father ordered an omelette.First, they gave my dad the wrong meal. He’s not one to complain, and decided he would just eat the scrambled eggs in front of him. Luckily, the server noticed and ended up giving him his omelette. Which was satisfactory at best.The sausage links I ordered were honestly the worst I have ever had in my life. They were so bad. I’m not sure if they just popped them in the microwave and then served them, or what…no one should ever bite into a sausage and have it taste bland and mushy. Needless to say…I ate one of the six sausage links and decided that was enough. They never gave me the toast that I ordered, and forgot the orange juice until I mentioned something before leaving.The ambiance was beautiful. I would recommend sitting out on the patio area. Very pretty. Unfortunately, our experience here was pretty terrible that I can’t even recommend anyone eat here. Overpriced for the worst meal I’ve had in a LONG time. All I can say is I hope lunch/dinner is a much better experience. Do not go here for breakfast. You’re better off going to Starbucks and getting a breakfast sandwich.

I sat outside in the plaza and really enjoyed the general ambience of the fire and the fountains. I had a pretty nice meal the lemon saffron scallops appetizer was great, and my entree (garlic tofu noodles) was pretty good. There was a minor issue with my dish (they left the tofu out) but it was quickly resolved (brought me a plate of sauteed tofu to mix in) and then they also gave me a free dessert. I tried the sorbet trio which had three fresh fruit sorbets (mango, raspberry and peach) which was delicious although it was a LOT of sorbet I was expecting small dishes of each, but they were each a full sized dish!
