Great service from Remy! Breakfast was good and at a decent price.
I thought this place was a spa, because it's in the back corner of the hotel. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was a restaurant. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are enough for lunch and dinner!
We arrived late for breakfast and stayed for lunch. John the water's words as he brought our lunch was to prepare to unhinge your jaws. He wasn't kidding as my wife's turkey BLT was ginormous! My choice was perhaps a little self-inflicted : a cheddar burger that was a double patty with my own addition of a sunnyside up egg. I ended up having to use a knife and fork. Besides the excellent food, John our waiter was excellent. He brought me honey and lemon and a big pot of hot water as I was kind of struggling through a cold. Much appreciated! He even sent me on my way with some extra lemon slices and honey. Great guy. Thank you Essence for this really positive experience!
I was told the food here is amazing and that is 100% the truth. There was a very nice buffet set out but we went to the menu. I had the banana bread French toast while my friend had the salmon eggs Benedict. We shared our orders and both dishes were delicious! Thank you Chef Ricky.
The slow roasted pulled halal chicken sandwich was amazing! Perfect blend of hearty chicken and creaminess coming from avocados. Would definitely go again for the sandwich. Have also tried this fish and chips. Reminded me a little of F&C from Halifax with the simple but crispy batter.
Breakfast menu was very good and the cooks were very nice offering us personal drinks even when we stayed past breakfast hours. We ate a lot.
The recommended avocado toast add poached eggs was good. Perfect balance of nutrition and enough to fill up an empty stomach.
