"The staff at Westmont Carmel Valley are very attentive, however, the food is a very poor quality. The meat dishes are very tough, and although they provide fresh produce with each meal, it is so undercooked as to be not cooked at all. For example, carrots and beans and broccoli are practically raw when served with your cooked meal. You need a steak knife to cut the carrots so you can eat them. Additionally, no matter what you order for your meal what they bring you is never what you ordered. Then if you send it back to the kitchen to get your actual order, it will be another 30 minutes at least before your correct order comes out again." - K…
