I ate dinner at a rotating restaurant on the beach, owned by Holiday Inn. The view was spectacular. The food...less than stellar.

This is the second Holiday Inn at which I've eaten on the beach. Both have had wonderful places, yet lackluster food. Do they pander that much to the meat-and-potatoes crowd that stay in their hotel rooms? I don't think there was an original item on their entire menu. They really need to outsource their dining.

Lord, the view, though. Powder white sand stretching in a crescent, from north to south, and water everywhere. The sun set into the Gulf just as I was finishing and standing up to leave -- it was red and round and glistening, like a waiting kiss.

I used to love the rotating lounge at the Marriot Marquee at Times Square in NY. The restaurant was far more expensive, and far less impressive. On the other hand, the lounge (just a floor below the restaurant) served a moderately priced, and a very decent, buffet, good drinks, great view and comfy couches.

There's a place exactly like that in Atlanta.


This place wasn't even close.

damn, we need to find you a woman. your last few entries have been like softcore!
i'm jealous you get to have arepas tomorrow.
plus, it's a holiday inn - you can't expect much from that, even if they have a decent view.

I keep expecting that they will outsource the restaurant, given the property taxes they must pay. Guess they get enough from the rooms, they can neglect the food.

Re: softcore...I'm compensating.

Wow. That is lovely and makes the inner poet in me shiver.
