Had breakfast at Harriman's all six days that we stayed at the Salamander. We ate outdoors each time. The setting here is beautiful, and the breakfast is world class, we loved it every morning. While we didn't get a chance to try the restaurant during dinner hours, the menu does look nice during that timeframe, too. If dinner is near as good as breakfast, then you'd be in for a treat.
Impeccable service, Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Delicious Amuse Bouche with Israeli caviar. Tasty Fresh Oysters. Delicious Locally raised Wagyu Ribeye followed by a visually appealing and sweet dessert.
Although this post is about the restaurant, I wanted to share that our experience staying at the Salamander Resort was spectacular. This was our final experience before leaving the resort after staying for a few nights. It was a bit unusual when we reserved a table for Sunday Brunch as the doors opened at 10:30am and we were given an 11:00am even though we requested an earlier time which they said was not available. We got to the restaurant 15 minutes early just to see if they could accommodate us, which they did. Entering the restaurant, we noticed that more than 60% of the restaurant was empty. Not sure why we weren’t able to get the earlier time. On to the food, we started off with an Amuse pallet cleanser. First course was a nice pear salad, mini avocado toast, fruit salad, fresh bread, and Nutella bread. The salad and fresh bread was delicious. Nutella bread was dry and didn’t taste very good. For the second course, we had scrambled eggs, a meat platter (bacon, prime rib, chicken sausage), potatoes, pancakes and french toast. Everything was good besides the sausage, french toast, and pancakes. The sausage was dry and lacked flavor. The french toast was dry and lacked flavor. No amount of syrup could help it. We decided to box the desserts since we were full. We also needed to box some of the second course as it was too much food for us to finish in one sitting. The servers asked if we wanted to box the food and we took them on their offer. Come to find out, they just dropped some boxes by our table. This was a bit disappointing considering the level of service we had received at the resort the previous days. We boxed it all ourselves. Finally I don’t particular like to complain in my reviews but one thing to note here. If you have plans or things to do be mindful to bake in a buffer. The pace of this meal was much slower than normal. It took a long time between each course and the servers rarely came to check in on us. I wouldn’t recommend this place for Sunday Brunch. Try another place if you’re able.
The seating area was lovely, cozy and classy. The food was amazing, tasty and delicious. I can recommend everything pictured except maybe the blueberry pancakes because it tasted average but still delicious. Everything was great especially the respect from the staff and servers. I thank them all from the chef to the servers and front desk employees.
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Harrimans and our experience was superb! The food, ambiance, and service was top notch. Anna, our waitress, was phenomenal; she was so knowledgeable about the menu and extremely personable. We never felt rushed and didn’t regret any of our course choices. And as a cherry on top, the Chef came to our table (as well as others) to ensure everything was meeting our expectations. It truly may have been the best restaurant experience we had this year (and that’s saying a lot).
