    We were celebrating Birthdays and seated at window booth as requested in our reservation. They reconfigured the layout for the brunch buffet and it was so much easier to get to all the stations. The food was excellent as well as the service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience.

    We loved that we could have our pups with us in the patio seating. They have excellent service, even brought a heating lamp next to us when it got chilly. The food was exceptional!!! First day my husband had the catch of the day Halibut and I had the braised short rib. OMG I would have licked my plate it no one was looking. Second day we ordered room service. I got lox on avocado toast. The salmon was so fresh tasting with meaty portions. My husband got eggs Benedict and a plate of waffles to share. We were so stuffed and satisfied. After breakfast/ brunch we went on a 6 mile hike with the doggies. That night we were too tired to go out for dinner so we ordered in again the food came so quickly al the dishes were still hot and yummy. I had the warm beet salad and for my main dish the scallops with risotto. Really big portions to I couldn’t finish my scallops. My husband got the pork chops and the wedge salad. We were both satiated. After digesting we went for a dip in the hot tub (we stayed at the resort)
