Ok, getting pretty excited and not going for another 6 weeks. Does anyone have copies of the menus at the restaurant? I want to start planning where I'm eating and what. I know crazy but man I can't wait to get away...
Jamie did a round up of everything hotel including food which you can access here: Temptation Hotel Information and Resort Map - Updated May 09 It's from '09 but alot of it either hasn't changed much or will at least give you a an approximate of what to expect.
Unless I'm missing it that post just has Margarita’s Lunch menu. I was hoping someone that has been there recently or is going can take (or has) pics of the menu for us to see...
I didn't take any pictures of the menus in the restaurants, but can tell you that the seafood restaurant does not have very many things on the menu to choose from. There was a steak (I don't like seafood at all), but it was wrapped in bacon and the menu didn't say that (I don't like bacon either). The Italian restaurant has more variety in the menu selections and they have a wine list. There are non-Italian things on the menu as well as lasagna and spaghetti. I had steak there as well (also bacon wrapped without them saying so on the menu), and I had a chicken dish stuffed with ricotta cheese that was pretty good. The wine list is on the expensive side, and any bottle of wine you get outside of their crappy house wine will cost you extra. If you want wine with dinner, I suggest you buy a bottle somewhere else and bring it with you -then you'll get what you know you like for a much better price. They don't have a corkage fee from what I saw. Or just order from the bar. The waiters were nice in all the restaurants, I liked the ambiance in the seafood restaurant the best and the waiters too. We got treated like we were VIPs in a fancy restaurant there, and our waiter was Alex and he was awesome! I liked the way they did the tables with sheer curtains in between for some privacy, and it was very quiet and elegant. I wish they had more food selection, but if you like seafood you would not be disappointed if you like nicer restaurants. Sorry I don't have more specifics on the menu items!
I remember seeing a bottle of Chateau Ste. Michelle cab, which is not bad but costs only around $9 in the grocery store locally - it was the equivalent of $80 in the restaurant. That is an insane markup! Usually we find restaurants charge per glass what the bottle charge is in the store, and a 3-4x markup is kind of normal - anything more than that is a rip off, imo! Maybe it costs more to get American wine in Mexico, don't know - but I suggest not paying those prices and bringing your own red - use your money for something else.
Just bumping this up hoping someone has pics of the menus or will when they go on vacation in the next couple weeks. Thanks
They just talk about the type of food you can get but not the actual menu. I've been there before so I know what type they have I was hoping for actual menus so I can plan and drool...
