                                                      Our expectations were high. The food descriptions really make you think you’re about to be served something special. The prices too… Very nice corporate vibe. Very comfortable. You’re gonna spend over 100 for 2 adults and a child to have breakfast. Our food had the sisco warmed over vibe. The croissant bun on my egg sandwich felt frozen and reheated. The flavors were nice and If the food had been served hot and felt more fresh, we wouldn’t give such a bad review. The meal was comped because we complained. But that’s because no one checked on us after we had tasted the food. 20 minutes went by without a checkin. Could not accommodate a single americano with 12 ounces of water. Only one small size for the coffee cups. So we ordered a single black coffee for myself and that was $14 for the carafe. She ordered tea and we ordered an apple juice for our son. The drinks ($27) plus the tip ($20) - I gave him the tip on the non comped price- plus $10 dollar valet and 5 dollar tip made our spend a total of $62 - that’s about the value of the meal but we didn’t even pay for the meal.

                                                      Themed lunch was very lame- didn’t hold up to the way it was described. Food was poor and not accommodating to dietary restrictions- when we asked for clarification, the staff was rude and dismissive. I have reached out to the manager as this meal was absolutely not worth the $500 we spent. It was atrocious.
