Our light lunch at cafe in the park was so delicious. The ambiance was incredible and our server Tommie was very attentive! She checked back in frequently, made sure we were enjoying everything, and kept our drinks well filled. We got the lobster bisque and the nachos with shrimp for a light tapas style lunch and we could not have gone wrong, highly highly highly recommend!
Not sure why the ratings are so low- the food, atmosphere, service, and presentation were all top notch. Our server was very personable as well! I wish I had more space in my stomach to eat more; the desserts looked amazing.
As a avid foodie the fact that this restraunt isn't at least 4.5 stars feels downright criminal then again I come from wonderful overpriced state of New York<3
Have been to this restaurant twice and I have to say that me and my family enjoy the food and service. It does take a little while if you need extra condiments or a refill but overall the waiters are very nice and help out as much as they can. We have been to breakfast and dinner and both times we were treated great. If your are staying at the hotel kids 6 and under eat free with a paid adult entree so that is a plus for us since we have little ones.
We had lunch, our waitress was Ariel she was friendly and respectful, and attentive. I had the Texas burger, it came with fries. The burger had ham bacon cheese sauce and pickled jalapenos, the burger was cooked as order and had good flavor. The fries where steak, they were crispy on the outside with a soft center
Comfortable atmosphere and nice to have a location on-site. Downside - it's expensive, especially for breakfast. Service was okay (3 stars at best), but our waiter was very nice, so 5 stars for him. We only went for dinner our first day there but went elsewhere for the duration of our stay. Good kids menu that was comprised of all the essential meals kids eat (grilled cheese, chicken tenders, etc)
