    The service and staff were excellent, but the Chilean Seabass ($68) was undercooked and served with steamed spinach with the stalks, hard to chew, and an inedible mushroom (?) side dish. They did serve warm bread at the beginning, which was mostly what we ate along with a tomato basil soup, which was very good.

    Our breakfast was included with our hotel reservation and it was amazing. My French Toast with bourbon glazed peaches was a perfect sweet start to the day. My wife's potatoes, which accompanied her "best omelette in a very long time", were also outstanding. The coffee was good and the attentive staff kept my cup filled throughout our meal (without being asked).

FAQs
