Unfortunately, dining at the hotel did not compare to the tea. The food was okay, but nothing to rave about -- and I dined in every restaurant. I’m not a sushi or
sashimi fan, so I didn’t appreciate Gonbei, the traditional Japanese restaurant located just four steps from my door. I loved the
open-air design and colors, and they did serve some tasty tempura -- but you can get that anywhere. The Dining Room, which overlooks the golf course and is the other restaurant that serves dinner, has a wide variety of dishes, from local specialties to international cuisine. Breakfast is also
served in the dining room, which is very
elegant. I felt like I slob when I walked in with shorts on (though it’s totally acceptable during the day). Breakfast is not a buffet. The menu included a nice selection of fruits,
pastries, cereal, yogurt,
eggs, waffles, pancakes and local treats like
chicken curry. In the Jim Thompson Tea Room a traditional luncheon English roast is served once a week. This
large buffet has all the English
delicacies, like shepherd’s pie and Yorkshire pudding. When there is no lunch buffet they offer a menu with a
number of
salads,
soups, even
burgers. Nightly rates begin at 700 RM ($197).
