Ate breakfast here a couple times during our stay at the Phoenician. The terrace seating is where it's at! This place has a beautiful view of the Phoenician grounds with the desert hills in the background. With a hot cup of coffee and a complimentary hotel copy of the WSJ, it's pretty much the perfect way to start your day.\n\n...Maybe that's how they justify charging $17-25 for breakfast, plus an additional $6 - yes SIX DOLLARS - for a regular cup of joe! Hear that? That's the sound of one star swooshing away! Sure, the food here is solid (try the Carnitas Huevos Rancheros - YUM), but after two days of this we just got tired of dropping $75 on breakfast.\n\nThe other star is lost due to service. Both mornings we waited a good 10 min for anyone to take a drink order, and another 10 min before we actually received our overpriced cups of coffee. I don't care if you're a diner or a 4-star hotel, 20 min is too long to wait for a freaking cup of coffee!
