    The brunch was amazing - avocado toast, huevos rancheros, salmons benedict, and Waldorf salad and drinks. I would recommend all of them. Matt the server was very good. We were sat inside in the back corner of the restaurant in the dark, even though the beautifully lit dining room by the windows remained available.

    The menu was totally different than what was listed for the Sunday brunch. I was excited to go with her grandkids for a celebration of Christmas and birthday, which was nice. When I made the reservation, it said they we’re not doing outside seating. It would’ve been a beautiful day to be outside. The food was OK, not great. Would not advise getting the date shake, which I was really excited about or the great grasshopper drink. The date shake was icy and did not have much flavor. The grasshopper drink, which said it had ice cream had maybe one dollop of ice cream and my husband said it was definitely not what one would expect for an ice cream drink. Both drinks came without spoons. I asked for one and when my husband was almost done with his the waiter ask if he needed one by then it was too late. The main meal itself was reasonable for what you got at a five star resort. The drinks were pricey, considering what they were. Would not recommend. We’ve always loved El Charro for dinner.

    The food was exceptional especially the trout almond one. Our server was Vicky and she was perfectly delightful. We plan to go here because it is a beautiful setting and delicious food. Service has always been fantastic. This is a special treat for us so we enjoy that food and service is so great. We are an older couple so we appreciate the attention.
