    Nice, mostly open air casual spot to grab a meal, served by pleasant waitress. Common problem is stupid pidgeons trying to grab your food before you get your fork in it! We've had breakfast there, observing other customers with a variety of foods. Not one time have we been disappointed, nor have we seen others voicing negativity!

    We placed an order over the phone, their automated service sent us a link to order online. We ordered from the menu online and when we picked up the food, it wasn’t what we ordered. We called and asked and they said they stopped serving that food item so they just made us a plate without the main entree… it also included shrimp but all we got were the 4 empty heads with legs of the shrimp, no meat. So they didn’t give us the ribs or shrimp we ordered. We called and explained and they said they would have the manager call us back. We never received a call back. So we were billed almost $50 for a plate that had 25-30% of what it was suppose to. The other plate we ordered, which was just fish and chips, we had to toss because we couldn’t chew it, it is was so over cooked. They never did anything about that either… all in we spent over $100 just on food just to have to go somewhere else to eat because they wouldn’t do anything about their screw up. We are staying in the hotel, so we are very close.

    Super disappointing dinner staff. Morning staff seems to be great but complete opposite later in the day. Our server kept leaving for extended periods over and over again. It took us having to get up and ask the bar for drinks which he proceeded to not make until I had to walk up again and ask. Considering it wasn’t very busy not sure why it was so terrible. Even worse when we let him know we just wanted our bill and not the drinks there was no apology but just a terrible attitude from him.

    I ordered a Benedict with steak for protein and a French toast. The French toast was great, one of the very few I really loved. Very fluffy.. the Benedict, a complete sad waste of money. The hollandaise sauce was way too sour. The steak was gross and I paid $16 to add it to the Benedict and it was a cheap cut and not good so I only ate half of the steak piece on one Benedict and completely ignored the second piece because I felt sick to my stomach eating the Benedict. Paid $54 and left very unsatisfied. The old cinnamon place was better. Never again.
