"Instead of being just the usual simple combination of salmon, cream cheese and bagel with maybe some tomotoes, capers, etc. this cama on a large plate with a big portion of salmon with pesto, really freash tomotoes, caper beriies, jalapenos, pickled onions, capers, Calabrian style red chili peppers, a salad and more. it was the absolutely best I've ever had, and we've been to many high-end restaurants. We thinkl the hotela nd restaurant hit a home run!"
