    Breakfast buffet did not disappoint! Eggs were cheesy, bacon was crispy, sausages were juicy with the perfect snap! šŸ˜‡ Grabbed some dessert from the coffee bar and oh my they were delightful as well, macaroons so soft and sweet, the fudge so decadent! šŸ˜

    Being a hotel guest, I had to order through "room service"... I ordered Nachos and it was not nachos. it was tortilla chips individually covered with black bean paste and fixings, which arrived, cold, soggy, and not what I wanted. I wanted a plate of pile of nachos that was crunchy and yummy. I was disappointed.

    We dined at Blake’s Bistro several times during our stay at the San Luis Resort and Spa, enjoying lunch twice and dinner once. The food, every single time, was outstanding. The flavors were consistently fresh and vibrant, and the kitchen is clearly capable of delivering memorable dishes. That said, the dining experience itself was a bit more complex. On our first lunch visit, the wait for food stretched to nearly an hour, which felt unusual given that the restaurant was not particularly busy. I voiced this concern with the hotel, and to their credit, the food and beverage manager Tiffany reached out to me directly. She was warm, apologetic, and proactive. She even personally facilitated our next lunch, ensuring we were better taken care of. While the wait was still around 45 minutes even with her assistance, I appreciated the effort and sincerity of the follow-up. It showed that management genuinely cared about our experience. In terms of food, it was well worth the patience. My children absolutely loved the ribs—though it’s important to note they take extra time to prepare, so plan accordingly if you order them. The kitchen also deserves credit for its ability to accommodate gluten sensitivities without compromising flavor. My two personal favorites were the Baja fish tacos and the grilled tofu, both of which can be prepared gluten-free. These dishes were flavorful, fresh, and versatile enough to enjoy at either lunch or dinner. Overall, Blake’s Bistro offers an excellent menu with delicious, thoughtful food. Just be prepared to linger a bit longer than you might expect, especially at lunchtime. The service recovery efforts by management were genuine and commendable, and the kitchen shines when it comes to taste. If you have the time, it’s a dining experience worth savoring.
