We got up on Valentine's Day and I suggested that we go for breakfast. We decided to go to one of the country clubs and Tierra del Sol is the closest to us. We didn't know that they didn't open until 9:00 and we had arrived at 8:25. So we took a little ride. We had heard that La Hacienda also had a Sunday breakfast buffet so we took a ride down there and they were closed.

So we killed a little time and headed back to Tierra del Sol. We got there a few minutes after 9:00.

There was no one there to greet us or tell us where to sit. After a few minutes a woman carrying a cup of coffee came in behind us and said that we could sit anywhere. So we sat ourselves and waited. After several minutes a waitress came and asked if we wanted coffee and brought us some. There were about eight other people there and everyone was sitting and chatting. I got up to look and there was no food at the buffet.

Servers and preparers were walking back and forth. Finally at about 9:15, Jenny says, I think the buffet is ready. No one told us so we went over and sure enough people were getting food. A line of about twelve had formed for the omelette and carving station so I just grabbed a few things off the line and figured I'd get an omelette later. I grabbed a piece of French toast, (there was no syrup) a couple of pieces of bacon, sausage and some grits. At the end of the line were some blintzes with a compote next to them. There was no serving ladle in the compote. I was finally able to track down a waiter who went off to get a serving ladle.

It wasn't until I sat down that I realized there were no eggs on the buffet. Jenny said they probably were supposed to be in the empty spot on the buffet line. I agreed and thought that I'd grab some when they came out.

We finished what we ate and there was still a big line at the omelette station so I grabbed a few more things from the buffet line. Jenny had a few more things and we were full. We sat around and had another cup of coffee (Tea in my case) and decided we were too full to eat anymore so I asked for the check.

Just as the server brought us our check a guy comes out of the kitchen with a tub full of eggs. It was 9:45.

I paid my bill and we left, never to return.

The food was OK, not great but I can't complain about it. But whole operation seems very disorganized and very amateurish.

Oh, I found out later that the woman that walked in wth her cup of coffee and told us to sit anywhere was the manager. Now, I wonder what the problem could be?
