    Sinclairs for breakfast
    Harry B.

    Shenanigans!! That breakfast was interesting. Food was good. Service, well.... There in lies the story and should I but an emphasis on lies. People why lie? And at a restaurants? Don't get it. The manager heard our story and I'm sure is making it right. So.. Eggs Benedict was good!!! Careful if you try to get some modifications. Mimosa? Meh.... And no the orange juice is not fresher squeezed. The bread was great!! Yes more please. People this is a resort and it is about the experience. Customer service above all. Manager did talk to us and I'm sure is making it a learning experience. All in all I would go back. Good food. Clean place. And I'm hotel.

    Cafe Sinclair is located in the beautiful West Baden resort in French Lick. It is a marvel and should not be missed. Cafe Sinclair's is open for Breakfast and then again for dinner. My husband and I stopped in to visit the hotel and had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast. We had hot tea service and he a cappuccino from there coffee shop for breakfast we enjoyed pancakes and a rolled omelet. They also serve a tasting of there in house banana bread. My husband said his Mom's was better, but it looked beautiful! Sinclair's is located in the original dinning room of the hotel and with its high ceilings and beautiful windows it takes the dinner back in time! Justice our server was great and took excellent care of us! Can't wait to visit again.

    Derby Pancakes - French Lick Resort Bourbon Tour

    This restaurant is inside the West Baden Springs Hotel where we are staying and on the French Lick Bourbon Trail so it was the perfect place for our first breakfast. The Bourbon Trail item is the Derby Pancakes topped with bourbon caramel sauce so that is what I ordered. I also ordered a side of Applewood Smoked Bacon. The pancakes were huge. They were so yummy that I did my best to finish them but I was just too full. The bacon was very good and I did manage to eat all of that. The service was fantastic. Our server and the lady that brought our food were very friendly. The atmosphere was very nice and such a comfortable place for a nice breakfast.

    My husband and I went to this resort for our one year anniversary, so it was kinda a big deal. We wanted breakfast in the hotel and Sinclair's is the spot. We were seated by a friendly young man and left to enjoy the ambiance. The server, Patty, eventually made her way over to our table and apologized for not seeing us, not big deal, but we were ready to order by then, so we did. Both of us wanted eggs benedict with spinach, but I also wanted mushrooms and extra hollandaise on mine. He wanted the fruit cup and I wanted the potato casserole. Some short time later, our food arrived and was missing the spinach as well as the mushrooms, and the extra hollandaise sauce. So, we told the young woman (not Patty) that our order was incorrect and she looked at the ticket and told us that it was just as ordered, but that she would fix it and tell our server. We don't like to waste food and my husband was really hungry, so he opted to eat it as it came, but she took mine back to add the other components. Patty eventually made her way back to the table and told us how she asked the kitchen to remake my order and was sorry and that the reason it was wrong was that she was handling the bill for another client and that is why she had'nt had the time to ask the chef about if she should add an upcharge for the spinach and mushrooms. (poor form to discuss this with a client) My husband ate and enjoyed his coffee, but accidentally spilled the cream on the table and floor. When Patty came over again and said that if it had been water, it was no big deal, but that it was cream...you know, that's an issue. WHAT!? Did she just reprimand my husband for spilling the milk??? Yes she did. Then he asked for more bread but she also told him that they probobly didn't have any more bread and if they did it was the last of what they had. Just tell us that you will bring the damn bread, and if you are out then tell us you are out. Finally she did bring more bread and told us that it really was the last of the bread. Who tells their clients that?? Finally my food came but by that time my husband was mostly finished with his meal, so we ended up eating separately. The food itself was a bit on the cool to luke warm side... The eggs were a little runny for me since I asked for poached medium, but still very enjoyable. The hollandaise was creamy but missing the bite of lemon. The spinach and mushroom added another level and I ate every bite! Here's where it gets weird. Patty, brings the bill and even though she messed up on the order she added the upcharge to the bill. We paid for it, but we wanted to leave Patty with some constructive criticism. So we told her how our breakfast went for us. We were surpprised that for someone who had been working there for so long didn't know what to charge for an extra add on, botched both orders, and still charged extra for that, even after we ate separately. Then she said, "I'll be honest, I didn't ask them to remake your order, I just asked them to add what was missing so it could come out to you faster." I don't like to waste food, but why lie to me? She argued with us that since we accepted my husband's food as it was, that it wasn't her fault, that the wrongness was because the kitchen was finished preparing the food before she had a chance to ask about the add ons. Then she said she went ahead and removed his coffee from the bill, but that the manager said she HAD to charge for the extras because of the food shortages and higher prices COVID had caused. WHAT?!? I asked her about employee empowerment because something wasn't right here. She said that she didn't have the power to do that, (another lie,) because the had removed the coffee from the bill without asking the manager... So, we asked to speak to the manager, and that's when she said,"I'll be honest with you; I didn't speak to the manager about the upcharge, but let me go talk with her right now." She admitted that she lied about talking to the manager and was just trying to pad the bill for a better tip. NOT COOL. We said that we still wanted to talk to the manager. Then she said that she would get in trouble if we did that. We didn't want her to get in trouble, but she vehemently said that she would if we persisted. Then she said that she would indeed go speak witht the manager at that time because she felt badly. She came back and said again,"I'll be honest with you, I really wont get in trouble. I mean, I wont get fired or anything like that. I'll probably get a talking to, but I wont really be in TROUBLE." Now I was getting pissed. All the stories, and manipulations, and lies over what...EGGS and Spinach?? WTF? So, yeah, I want to talk to your manager. So finally, the manager came over and we told her the story of our breakfast experience. Patty was the one element that made it so memorable and I don't mean that in a good way.

    The kids and I ate breakfast at Cafe Sinclair's while staying at the West Baden hotel. The service was great and my kids filled up on their massive plate sized pancakes. Sinclair's is the best breakfast spot at French Lick.

    The breakfast was wonderful as was the waitress. I would like to have the recipe for the little crispy potato casserole that comes with the eggs Benedict and other breakfast items. It was very unique and delicious as was our breakfast. I would definitely go there again. Thank you for a great breakfast experience.

    We recently stayed at the West Baden Springs Hotel. While there we opted for the Anniversary Package, as we were celebrating. The package came with a $30 breakfast credit, so we stopped at Café at Sinclair's before checking out on Sunday. The décor is nice, like the rest of the hotel it all feels very elaborate. And the menu wasn't bad, though it's definitely overpriced. The meal started with complimentary banana bread that looked tasty. Unfortunately, I hate bananas. I've tried to like them. Promise. I even tried a small bite, but I hated it. We decided to get the Oatmeal, Biscuits and Gravy, and Stuffed French Toast. The French Toast changes daily, and we lucked out with chocolate chip. It was delicious, but unlike any French toast I've ever had before. It was more like bread shaped pancake batter than actual bread.. Delicious, but strange. The biscuits and gravy were also very tasty, and the oatmeal was alright too. The service was great. We were greeted, seated, and waited on promptly. Our server checked with us several times throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. And he brought our check to us quickly, which we needed for check-out. If you find yourself at West Baden Springs Hotel I would definitely suggest Café at Sinclair's for breakfast. They also had some yummy sounding pizzas on the menu, that I'm sure would be great for lunch, but we'll have to wait until next time to find out.

There's only 2 of us and it's NOT busy. I guess it's taken this long to forget that "we are never coming back." Food came really really fast and was better than okay but not great. Waitress only checked on us one time early in the experience and was never seen again until the end. Never came back to offer us a chance to order a second drink or dessert and it took forever to get the bill. Honestly, not an enjoyable experience. The only thing that keeps us coming back is our poor memory. So, I guess I'll post again in 2028.

After navigating the charming but challenging rural byways-- which included horse-drawn buggies and flooded out roads--tourists from the north deserve a good meal when they arrive, and they will get one. My lunch companion chose a Reuben, which was served on delicious dark rye bread, along with a cup of fresh fruit. Yes fresh, not commercially prepared. I chose the 1/2 soup and sandwich. Flavorful tomato basil soup and half of a club on focacia? I believe. That was a little difficult to eat, but it tasted good. I chose French fries with mine, which were hot and plentiful. We both had iced tea which was fresh and good but we were never offered a refill. Service was efficient but not super attentive. The snack mix that arrived with water when we sat down was a nice touch. Oh, and did I mention the atmosphere in which we dined? Only the 8th wonder of the world. See it for yourself. Although this hotel seemed less popular than its nearby sister hotel, French Lick Springs, West Baden hotel was a better experience for a day visitor. We had a lovely day; well worth the trip.
