great and amazing food and service
Delicious! Must try the Aveo toast and lemon ricotta pancakes! Service was excellent!!
The food, service, and atmosphere, and hotel were amazing! Totally recommend it!
Best thing about this cafe is the location. U can't beat the view of sunset from here. Sitting outside is a must do.
Otherwise the food is just ok. Leek soup was overpowered by capers, the oysters were good but only bc of the accompaniments, the crab cakes below avg, the surf and turf was not worth it - lobster tail was small and overcooked and the filet was covered with too much sauce etc that it was hard to appreciate the meat itself.
Its also a bit pricey but this is expected because of location.
I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. My wife and I had drinks and tapas before dinner and both the food and service were great! The homemade hummas and pita are great, as was the restaurants version of margaritas. Very enjoyable experience!
The flip side came at the breakfast buffet. The selection was mediocre at best. Stations were not clean, fruit bowls were empty, no side plates, smoothie pitchers with no glasses, breads and pastries that Starbucks would be embarrassed to serve, etc. The buffet only option at 10:00am, on a Saturday is not ideal.
For me a sub par buffet for two at $100 is a bit insulting for a restaurant of this calaber.
