Message: | Still haven't been for dinner, but made the error of going for breakfast yesterday. My wife tried the French toast made from brioche. Nice, but certainly not spectacular. I had the eggs benedict, also fine but nothing to rave about. Two coffees, one side of bacon and one of sausage. Tab was $49.54 plus cost me $5 to ransom car back from valet. Worst part was after putting down the check the waiter vanished. Maybe he thought we were staying and would just charge it to the room, but in any case I had to go and hunt down the hostess, who looked totally befuddled. About another 10 minutes passed with nobody coming back with my change. I then found the manager who went to look. Finally another 5 minutes and a different waitress finally came back with my change and valet ticket. This was with about 6 people in the whole restaurant. Never again. This whole experience reminded me again of how many times I have been disappointed in "fine hotel" dining. As a final side note they had a sort of buffet continental spread layed out on a raised table behind where we were sitting. A family came in and one of their children, a boy of about 8, came over to the lox tray and proceeded to touch every piece of salmon on the plate before going back to his table. Glad I wasn't having the salmon after that little performance. |
