Menu Types

Breakfast consists of fruit, rice + beans, eggs or basically whatever you want. Just ask the Lovely Matcha and she will be happy to make it for you. Lunches are at the restaurant on site and your order during breakfast and it is brought to you by the Wonderful Galan (with a smile) as you sit at the table. Most dinners are a huge Buffet style. Some of the best food I have EVER had at any center or restaurant anywhere for that matter. Dinner. AMAZING. Not much more to say about that other than you won't believe how great it is. Buffet style. Best meals I have ever had in my life.
