We are booked for our first CR stay (Atrium CL) in Dec. I apologize if I've overlooked it, but wondering if anyone has pics and/or a list of recent food offerings? I know things can/sometimes do change frequently, so just looking to get an idea of what could be offered. TIA
.
We were there last week (Wed-Sunday). I didn't take any photos, but I remember many of the food items.
Breakfast: always cereal & milk, oatmeal with toppings, little mason jars of yogurt (plain and strawberry) with granola, hard boiled eggs with what I think was a feta cheese topping, various deli meats, smoked salmon, pastries, bagels/toast (and cream cheese), and fruit.
Midday: MYO snack mix (varied, with some combination of gummy bears, M&Ms, swedish fish, goldfish, banana chips and almonds), homemade potato chips with dip, crudite (I'm almost certain; I was focused on the chips), flatbread/breadsticks, and cookies.
Apps: always included soup (alternated between tomato bisque and NE clam chowder), cheese (the offerings here were odd -- sticks of what looked like four cheeses all joined together and cubes of a white cheese that was, maybe, asiago? I couldn't identify it. The point is, not cheddar, swiss, etc.), deli meats, rolls & butter, PB&J, a tiny single-bite plate, a cold salad, a hot chafing dish item and a kid item (alternated between chicken nuggets and mac&cheese). IIRC, the specific items were:
Wed: Pork loin with polenta (chafing dish), seared tuna, I think (tiny plate), greek salad.
Thurs: Asparagus with lemon mascarpone (tiny plate), beef stir-fry (chafing dish), can't remember the salad.
Friday: crab salad (tiny plate), flank steak with masa (chafing dish), black bean and avocado salad
Saturday: Beet salad with goat cheese (tiny plate), salmon (chafing dish), farro salad. Sorry I can't remember more, we didn't eat apps that day b/c we had a dinner ADR.
Dessert: There was always a shot glass full of something layered and creamy, a layered cake-type offering, cookies, and a few pastry-type items. I can't remember what was out which night, but there were macarons on two nights, key lime bites, cookies & cream rice krispie treats, a boston cream cake (2 nights), rocky road bars. I do remember that Saturday night seemed like leftover night, with most (all?) of the offerings re-appearances of items we'd had earlier in the week (not stale or anything, just not new to us).
There was coffee and tea out pretty much all day (both the nespresso and carafes of regular coffee in the morning, at least, then nespresso for the rest of the day), plus sodas, club soda, tonic water and chocolate milk in the cooler. In the evenings, there were red and white wines, a sparkling wine, beers and hard cider. With dessert were cordials. The first few days, we asked for cups of milk to go with dessert, but by Friday they were stocking cartons in the fridge. Mornings had OJ and water in dispensers. The water stayed out all day, but OJ was replaced by iced tea by midday.
Overall, we were pleased with the food offerings. The tiny plate apps and the shot glass desserts were (in my opinion) the best things offered. Each day, they were really delicious. Not that the rest of the food wasn't good, just that we really enjoyed those items specifically. I don't even like crab, but that crab salad was amazing. And I'm still kind of dreaming of the chocolate hazelnut shooter we had our first night...
A++ (minus the missing water, with water containers only set up half the time as well)
Liquid diet for that stay, but it Looks so incredible and I’m a sucker for ‘new’, so think it’s worth a short visit.
If they are hard to peel doesn't that mean that they are very fresh eggs? I find that the freshest organic eggs are the hardest to peel. Plus they would be much cleaner.
I’m happy to see it a available for vegetarians but not at the cost of the 2nd main dish...
