The food is really good at the resort and we figured with surf and turf it sort of gives two options and most would be able to eat one or the other. The beef is excellent quality and is comparable to what you get in an upscale steakhouse in the US.

 

I agree with KC, I don't think that would work KristenLilly. Not to mention, in Mexico when you order off of a menu at a restaurant you could be waiting a looooooong time. They will want to know what time you expect to have your meal, first dance, etc and they will be on time with the schedule that is set.

KC- that sounds like a great idea. I wish we had thought of doing that. I think it ended up working out fine though. What are the menu items that you chose?

 

So Valeria agreed to let us have a choice for the entrees. I'm confused why people are printing menus then if you have to tell the resort what people are having beforehand. Is it just a formality to have a menu there even though people don't order off of it?

Is anyone else not doing assigned seating? Thoughts on how that will work?

I guess the point of the menu is to describe what they're having.  Even if they get to choose their entree ahead of time, they don't know what the other courses are.  Plus they look nice on the table.

 

We're assigning tables.  I would definitely make a sign of some sort or assign one or two people (depending on how big your group is) to make sure everyone knows they can just pick their own seat so no one is confused.

Just as KCDawn said, I made the menu so that our guests would know what they were having for dinner as well as it looking nice on the table. They didn't order from it, just were able to view it.

I have not even been thinking about the menu . . . . I was hoping to try the food when we get there?!?!?!?!! I dont think I will be making menu placecards, I need to take SOMETHING off my plate, no pun intended ! I am making escort cards though

I have tryed to contact Cecilia by email a lot of time but I'm not able to receive answer from her.

Do you know if she is the resort or on holiday?

[Funkydoll]

same happening to me.  I sent her emails and still haven't got any reply.

[KCDawn]

I've been dealing with Valeria, so I have no idea what's going on with Cecilia.  That's frustrating though!

Hey CriCri!

 

Cecilia has been on vacation, but she just got back.  She emailed me today.  I'm sure she is bombarded with emails...
