Pros:

Did not eat breakfast Had dinner at the Bistro. I had the senior meal of Roast Pork. It was good to be served fresh vegetables, however the meat was overcooked and the apple sauce cold. We ordered and ate at the beginning of the evening so there was no reason for the meals not to be hot and tasty.

Cons:

The table set up for our party was not conducive to a group event.
