    While spending your day at Glen Ivy resort you are bound to get hungry. We stopped in at the Cafe Sol which is inside the resort. The place is nice with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a terrace above to eat as well. As you are eating they come around and clear your plates once done. As you walk in you are given a tray and utensils. There are monitors above showing what each section serves and you wait in the line of the section you choose. They have salads, sandwiches and wraps, nachos and pizza, and dessert. We opted for the sandwich spot. The price of a sandwich is $16-$18 so I'm here thinking it's gonna be great. The food is definitely overpriced for what it is and the food is just okay. We ordered a turkey pesto panini and a turkey avocado sandwich and shared. One of them came with a pasta salad and the other with some fruit. The panini was the favorite. It tasted good and the bread was soft. The fruit was also very sweet and fresh. As for the turkey avocado it was bland and the meat was dry. It needed some sauce or add ons. The pasta salad did not have any seasoning and it was like eating boiled penne. For a soft drink it was $5 and you get refills thru the day. Once your inside there aren't many food options so you kind of get stuck here. The food is okay and prices are high but if your hungry it's gotta do.

    Wow! I'm so impressed by this restaurant! Located inside Glen Ivy Hot Springs, I honestly thought they'd serve sub par food at ridiculously high prices since, you're already at the spa and you have no choice but to eat there, like any amusement park, but no, the food's reasonably priced for the amount you receive, and it's all delicious. All the food's brought in from local farmers, keeping it fresh, healthy and reasonably priced. Their theme is Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. It's all made to order and you pick from three different stations. They have a special everyday. The day I went it was pho. There's a sandwich station that includes soups, and pasta w/marinara as a side dish. There are also pizzas, calzones, tacos, and huge wonderful salads. The salads are $12 - $16 but they are massive, I kid you not, as big as a head of lettuce, enough to share and then some. Seared ahi tuna salads, chicken, blackened wild salmon, etc. The first time I ate here I had the greek special w/gyro meat on pita bread w/yogurt, very tasty. The second time I had the tacos. You get three w/a choice of shrimp, wild salmon, beef or chicken. I had a salmon, a shrimp and a beef. All came w/cilantro sauce, and some other seasoning. Wasn't a big fan of the salmon w/dill.. the meat was very firm like it was marinated in something, sweet. The beef and shrimp ones were delicious. I couldn't help myself and also got a fresh oatmeal cookie, sooo good! There's also yummy potato chips, haagen daaz ice cream bars and specialty drinks. It's nice to know you can have a wonderful meal as you pamper yourself at this spa!

    The ahi Poki salad!

    Overall: The atmosphere and the service is great. The food is overpriced. FOOD: So how it works, it's set up like a cafeteria where they make it fresh in front of you. There is a salad section (ahi poke, chicken Caesar, and 2 others), a pizza and sandwich section, and a desert section. You pick up a tray and head to the sign where you want to order and tell the staff what you would like. I ordered the kale and spinach 3 cheese quesadilla ($16)and my friend ordered the ahi poke salad ($18). They make the items right in front of you (pretty nice, can tell it's not microwave food or pre-made). She absolutely loved her salad and when I tried it, I somewhat did also. It felt just like something that I could make at home or order at a Japanese restaurant for a lower price.When I received mine, I felt the same way also. It was good but I could probably do it at home or order elsewhere. ATMOSPHERE: You can sit outside under the umbrellas, or inside (there is also an outside shaded area away from umbrellas). It reminds of me of being in Vegas in one of the grand hotel's pool area. It is lush with green plants and decorative chairs and tables. There are servers asking if everything is fine. Overall, just gorgeous. How could it not be with all the green and the pools nearby?! SERVICE: Amazing. Once again they're coming around asking how you are doing and if you need anything. The staff you rings you up at the counter asks how your day is going, what treatments you did, etc. Friendly and honestly interested in you. I like them :) I think I'll just come back to sit in the shade and munch on the snacks I bring unless I am SUPER hungry. But really, they were nice and very helpful.

    Mmmm! A cafe smack dab in the middle of our little oasis. Here at Glen Ivy, Cafe Sole offers a spectacular variety of healthy soulful food. - Italian, Salads, Sandwiches, Tacos and more. As Cynthia A. said, ridiculously high priced but will sure have you saying "You get what you pay for." You pay a pretty penny for the amount of cilantro, shrimp and over flowing citrus juice coming out of your Shrimp & Salmon tacos. (Enter Shrimp & Salmon taco visual here) Definitely delicious and would definitely come back for more! Grab a glass of wine to wash down all of that wholesome goodness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5/5 Ambiance - The mood, character, quality, tone, atmosphere. 5/5 Service - Helpful, accommodating, efficient, delivery and speed? 5/5 Food / Merchandise - Quality, taste, presentation. 3/5 Price - Reasonable, inexpensive, high priced?

    This salad was gross. Ingredients tasted old and stale. I didn't even finish it.

    Unfortunately this is the only restaurant on the property if I can remember correctly. The cafe is cafeteria style and certain meals are prepared ahead of time, which doesn't make the meal very fresh. I ordered the southwestern salad and the lettuce was brown. The salad was underdressed and the toppings were stale. It was practically tasteless. The only salad I think were made to order was the poke salad. My boyfriend had a salad and he seemed pretty pleased with it. The line is also really long just to enter the cafe depending on which hour you decide to eat. It really sucks there's nothing else to eat.

The Hispanic flair of this restaurant makes me excited to go back and experience more. The Vibe: of the restaurant is rustic, with foliage, wonderful decor, great lighting and art on the wall. They set a wonderful tone for a nice evening out with family or a nice date. Plenty of seating and even some just at the bar if you're in for a quick drink. The service: Jesus was our host and honestly we were very grateful for him. He brought in good suggestions, we let him know what we were debating on and he narrowed it out for us. He was wonderful in simple conversation checked in often and made sure we enjoyed everything. You would get 5 stars on his service alone. The food: There was not one dish we did not like from the appetizers, to the sauces that came with the chips, THE MOLE!!! I had the Branzino with the salad and it was amazing, the crispy skin, the seasoning was just on point. My Wife got the file braised short ribs and she does not usually finish her food and she cleaned her plate. She shared some with me and it was perfect!! We also got a side of mushrooms and they were amazing. My mother in law got the chicken Belagio, and she loved it. I had a taste of hers as well and the chicken was really good and tender even when fried. We usually don't get dessert when we get appetizers but we had to give it a go. The tres leches was pretty delicious, a little dry in parts but I did enjoy it. Overall Blackstone was a wonderful experience, when you have great service and a wonderful play on flavors you get the CJAC

    During our visit to the spa, my sister and I decided to have lunch at Ivy Kitchen, and it was the…read moreperfect choice. My sister ordered the Philly Cheesesteak. While it was made fresh to order and served with hot, crispy fries, the steak itself could have used a little more seasoning. Thankfully, the delicious dipping sauces--including a cheesy sauce and ranch--helped elevate the dish. I went with the Chicken Nachos, and wow...they were absolutely amazing! The portion size was huge and could easily be shared between two people. If I were to do it again, my sister and I would definitely split the nachos and save room for more spa-time relaxation. The only unexpected hiccup during our visit was a power outage. This was completely outside of Glen Ivy's control, as we later learned that Edison had temporarily shut off power to perform service in the area. Fortunately, power was restored within about 45 minutes to an hour. Thankfully, my sister and I had already taken our lunch break before it happened. What really impressed me was how the staff handled the situation. Once power was restored, team members walked throughout the resort personally notifying guests that services were available again. Their communication and professionalism helped make an inconvenient situation much smoother. I would absolutely return to Glen Ivy and Ivy Kitchen. Whether you're looking for something light or a more filling meal, they have options to satisfy just about every appetite. Combined with the beautiful spa setting and attentive staff, it makes for a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you're spending the day at Glen Ivy, be sure to stop by Ivy Kitchen--you won't regret it.

You can really see the effort with getting grass-fed beef along with avoiding seed oils in their cooking. Stepping inside the restaurant, it immediately took me as if we were in the wild west but elevated. It's really beautiful inside and very rustic. We went ahead and ordered the sirloin and the mac and cheese. Both were awesome. The sirloin had a chew, but was super juicy. It came out medium rare, just like what we requested. Loved the carrots and mashed potatoes that came with it. The chimichurri sauce was killer. The mac and cheese was a great starter and came with a lot of bacon in it. For dessert, the brownie with vanilla ice cream was fantastic. It wasn't too sweet and I loved the contrast with the hot brownie and cold ice cream. It's also gluten free! Service was super sweet. They all treated us well. We'll definitely want to be back when their menu changes. This is the type of restaurant that we would love to support.

I will admit this is a bit pricey but for special occasions or for visiting friends will def spend a little more for the experience. You can tell they put the extra money toward the fresh food.
