I went “off special” and tried the Buddha bowl, very filling and healthy! Someone in our party has a walker, so we got the special back-door treatment! Can always count on Blinkers being a dependable place to dine!

Sloppy handling of our reservation—even though they had sent MULTIPLE reminders to us. They were not prepared for us at all. When we told the young woman at reception that we were leaving, she said ‘okay.’ Okay? We decided we did not want to spend $100+ for such indifference. At the very least, some training and protocols for staff are warranted.
