Very empty on a Sunday morning. We missed the in room ordering that ended at 1015. We were seated right away and given a good amount of attention. Food was good and hotel priced. We thought the avocado on the açaí bowl was interesting but it was very fresh and good with my toast. Eggs cooked how we ordered. Chicken sausage was juicy. - E Lee
