La Terraza

Description:

• This big and sunny restaurant has a dramatic view. Two-story walls of windows sweep the eye out over the greenery of the hotel's garden. Lunchtimes focus on a well-stocked buffet that dominates rooms off to the side of the eating area. At nighttime, except for a sprawling soup-and-salad bar (access to which is included in the price of any main course), the buffet is eliminated in favor of a la carte dining that's choreographed by a carefully trained staff. There are different themed menus every day. Menu items change but are likely to include grilled grouper with either lemon butter or criolla sauce; T-bone steaks with béarnaise, red-wine, or mushroom sauce; a succulent chateaubriand that's prepared for two diners at a time; and lobster that's available several different ways.
