Here's my report from my July stay - imho, yes, they do have some heavy appetizers. Then again, I suppose it depends on how hearty of an appetite you have...


AKL Concierge has a really terrific selection of foods at their concierge lounge. Up until this year, I *would* have said better than the Grand's even .. though since the Grand has "spiffed up" their offerings, they come out ahead this time! LOL The ONLY thing I think the Grand ought to do is put in one of those fabulous cappachino/espresso machines!!
(Come on Tony .. if you're reading this, you can pass that on to them! <g>)

Here's what I found as the offerings this year:

BREAKFAST
Oatmeal; raisins, brown sugar, dried apricots and almonds; assorted juice boxes; mango, orange, pineapple & apple juice; frosted flakes, raisin bran, cheerios, fruit loops; croissants, blueberry, bran and banana nut muffins; whole fruits; white and wheat bread and yogurts too.

LUNCH
Veggie Chips, pumpkin seeds, spicy snack mix, whole fresh fruit; PB&J sandwiches, gummies, goldfish, cinnamon sugar pita crisps, pretzels, iced tea, African smoothies, lemonade.

SNACKS
The same items, minus the sandwiches, that are on for lunch.

DINNER
Sugar Cane Chicken, peanut sauce, Kalamata olive hummus, roasted red pepper and tomato hummus, smoked almonds, beef satay, smoked gouda and cheddar cheese, regular gouda, and swiss cheese too, crackers, salted pita crisps, spicy snack mix. There was also a selection of South African wines, including a chardonnay, a merlot, a shiraz and a cabernet, as well as a white zinfandel.

DESSERT
Mini key lime pies; mini cheesecakes; mini fruit tarts, brownies, cupcakes, 3 types of cookies .. no zebra domes this time that I saw though! There was also a selection of after dinner drinks too, including Grand Marnier, Sambuca, Frangelica, Kahlua.
