Mission Inn Restaurant

The food was "ok" for the price, excluding the dessert. Omg! The FLAN!!! Incredible!!! It was a wonderful experience either way, because Omar made our night special by being considerate, kind, and accommodating. I want to be upfront and say that I am really perticular about my meals and have celiacs disease, so it does limit me on what I can eat. Either way, we felt that the steak was undercooked (I personally always order rare steak, so it's odd for me to call steak overcooked) and would've been better if it was seared more... my husband actually got sick from it. The sauce in the shrimp pasta was okay, but the shrimp in the pasta was DELIGHTFUL!! Thanks for a good experience, Omar. The restaurant is lucky to have someone like you representing them.

Delicious and fresh. I tried the Hearty Bowl for breakfast. It was a generous portion of nicely roasted vegetables, like bok choy, haricot vert,, zucchini, spinach, etc. The veggies had nice char marks on them and still had some crunchiness to the vegetables, not soggy or over cooked at all. It was very lightly seasoned with two perfectly poached eggs and nice fresh avocado slices on top. I have celiac disease so I have to be very careful not to eat gluten (no wheat, rye, barley). They have items on the menu that are naturally gluten free and my server, Maria, was super nice and understood the importance of being sure my food is not contaminated with gluten. I was interested in the truffle French fries so she took the initiative to check with the kitchen to see whether or not the French fries were 100% gluten free (not shared in a fryer with other items). Unfortunately the fryer is shared AND the fries are dusted with an ingredient containing gluten so I had to pass. I was plenty full from the veggie bowl, so I’m glad in a way that I didn’t get the french fries! Oh, by the way, the coffee is nice and freshly brewed and delicious and comes with a generous pitcher of cream for people like me who like the coffee, beige. The only slightly negative comment would be the seemingly haughty red headed hostess who has a hard time smiling apparently. She was polite enough but not even slightly welcoming or friendly. Maybe she was having a rough morning. UPDATE: I had breakfast here the next morning with the same hostess. She was smiling and delightful. She must have been having a bad day yesterday! I saw her signing with a deaf woman and thought it was super cool that she knows sign language!
