   The food here is consistently good. I love that they use local food sources. They also have a lot of gluten free, vegatarian and vegan options. They have a secret/off menu dessert "horchata ice cream sandwhich" that is by-far one of the best desserts I've had.

   The restaurant Tia Carmen is absolutely beautiful. Every employee/ hostess / waiter was very professional & accommodating. We had reservations & seated quickly for 9am breakfast. Table & chairs comfortable. Buffet food selection had quite a bit of selection especially of meat proteins. Which was very good. But even though food was in individual covered containers, food was not hot. Coffee was not hot as well. But otherwise food selection/ display was well done. Would have liked to have seen hot tea offered as well. My husband, Son & Daughter ordered cocktails which were very good. Ambience & setting very relaxing & not at all rushed. Our waiter was excellent, rather exceptional. So sorry I didn’t get his name. Would go again for special occasion for breakfast/ lunch Buffet. Thank you.

   Very lovely dinner last night. We had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Interesting and creative flavor combinations. The tuna was amazing as was the steak. The staff was extremely friendly,attentive, and knowledgeable. Only downside we saw was the ambient noise level was quite high.

   Service was excellent. Cocktails were really good. I ordered tri tip kabab which was delicious. Vegetarian food was average especially appetizers.
