very poor breakfast, greasy, undercooked, small plates. Had to que to get in, got table got coffee an d juice put on table went and got breakfast went back to table to see someone sitting at it, people next to our table said waitress cleared table for someone else can sit down, cups and glasses were full, and we had to que to get food. Why would full cups and glasses be taken away when we are getting our food. by the time we got another table our food was cold so we left. I stay in many hotels and never have i come across such a poor breakfast set up and poor food.
