  Sat at the bar, I ask the bartender for a Margarita, buddy asks for a Beefeater/tonic. She asks me if I want it on the rocks with salt. Immediately, buddy receives his drink, which is really small with lots of ice. After about 5 minutes, I receive a margarita/martini. No ice, no salt, and in a martini glass. Rejected. Next attempt is passable, but still no salt (which I didn't really want, but she asked and I said yes). Too much ice, and now way too much booze. I'm not a picky guy, but charging us $10 each for these drinks was BS. If I wanted a shot of tequila, I would have asked for it. You could argue I got a lot of booze for $10. That's true, but some drinks are about balance. I won't go back-- and we didn't!!

  If you are looking for a bar with sports you found it, but not much more.

  The food here was extremely good, even for informal eating.  Inside, looked to be for the more quiet crowd, and the party of ladies I was with felt a little awkward sitting in there with the "older" crowd, so we sat outside under the umbrella shaded tables for our meal and mimosas.
  
  The chef came out to check on us, and service was attentative.  Our food was extremely good.  Since we were limited on the amount of time we had before jumping on over to the spa, we had ourselves a light lunch.  I had the fried portabello mushroom fritters - which were really good, but I wasn't used to the crummy batter... [I'm used to tempura battered mushrooms, but either way - it's all about the mushroom, right?]  =P
  
  My friends ordered the mussels or clams, and it was definitely worth the $$ she paid.  We assumed it would be a tiny portion, but they came out with a fat plate of them, and they were delicious.  Everything looked great, but I was one of the few who had their spa treatments early, so I didn't get my chance to pick off of everyone's plates.  For informal dining, it was pretty good, but stay outside for patio dining if you don't want to alienate other patrons with your conversations.
