To dine, the secluded rooftop hotel eatery had some fine bites like the grilled Albacore tuna loin (with sundried tomatoes and Kalamata olive tapenade), a light yet moist, flavourful entrée.

For the more carnivorous, the AAA flat iron steak with Chimichurri sauce was a succulent, fine midday meat treat.
