AALTOS Garden Cafe — Restaurant in Grand Forks

I gave this overpriced pompous purveyor of swill 1 * only because it won't allow me to give them a negative star. When we visited it was on Christmas and I'm sure nobody wanted to be there. But if they're going to have the doors open they need to provide better food than you can get in a Frozen TV dinner. And that is not hyperbole that is a fact. The salad bar was okay the desert bar was absolutely a travesty. There was pecan pie and it was just a mockery of that Southern dish. The main food bar had a decent selection however the quality was extraordinary poor. The stuffing, the turkey the meatballs literally everything else was absolutely dry and flavorless. And what's was the price for this swill? Over $100. For 2 adults and 2 children. Understand that is not a bad price for a good meal in a quality restaurant. If ever I find myself in Grand Forks ND staying at the Canad inns on Christmas again I will be sure to grab a couple of cans of spam and a loaf of bread from a culinary standpoint it would be a much more desirable fair then what you will...

For the price that you are paying at this hotel, especially if you are in a suite, the rate of this breakfast should be free and included with the room. The actual restaurant was clean and nice and the service was very attentive and great, the food was a completely...

The food had no flavor. A regrettable choice. Should have gone out and bought donuts and milk for the family. Would have saved $60 and been much happier.

The worst part is that they didn't bus the tables. We ate later in the morning. Two thirds of the tables were piled high with dishes from earlier guests. They didn't appear to be understaffed, just undermanaged. I've never seen anything like it and don't expect to as i won't...
