I had two food experiences, one being room service and the other the full breakfast buffet. In both cases, prices were higher than even usual in Australia, and while there was quantity, the flavors were lacking.
Room service us available in the evenings and strangely, the menu is different than if you were eating in the restaurant. I would have eaten in the restaurant, but the menu there was fancy and even more expensive, so I opted for room service. There's a $4 AUD tray fee.
I had the crispy chicken sandwich, which came with chunky fries. Large portions on both; the chicken spilled out of the bun. Both were fresh fried and crispy outside.
But the chicken was a bit bland, while the fries were oversalted. (I guess they balanced each other, salt-wise.) I was okay with the chicken but the fries were just too salty for me.
I had the full breakfast buffet for $25 AUD (about $17 US at the time). There was a continental breakfast buffet for less and a few items you could order, like an omelet or eggs benedict.
I had bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms, hash browns, fresh fruit, and orange juice. (I had two flights that day, and needed a big hit of protein to sustain me.) Again, quantity, but flavors were lacking.
I made sure to eat and drink everything I took, but it wasn't worth the price.
Breakfast was served till 10:30, but already at 9:45 when I arrived, they weren't putting out any more food. People who arrived after me found that a lot of stuff was already depleted.
The dining room is spacious, with interior and exterior seating and tables. There's a nice view outside. There's a bar here, too. It would be a nice place to have coffee or a drink and watch the sunset. read more
