Facility serves a breakfast buffet until 10am on weekdays and then has a dinner menu and room service available in the evenings.
Consumer advisory was included on the menu board for breakfast for eggs that guest can request cooked for them.
The following recommendations were made:
1. Use more ice around cold items at buffet and at waiter area at bar. It is strongly recommended that items such as cut melon, milk, yogurt, cream cheese, etc. are not saved for next day use. If it is being carried over, ensure that the items were holding at 41F or below before saving it.
2. Manager was reminded that cut melon is a potentially hazardous food and as such, it must be kept at 41F or below.
3. It was noted that the hood filters were being cleaned (using dishmachine and 3-vat) during breakfast, while the grill/fryers were in use. It is highly recommended that this be done when the cookline is not in use.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
