Cafe Sole

If you are worried about food while going to glen ivy, don't be. They have quite a few amazing dishes. They have a broad range of salads, sandwiches and wraps, and a few warm or other dishes, as well as desserts! The special was turkey chili, but as it was 90+ chili was not something I was wanting, so I went with the salmon tacos. The four street style tacos come with salmon, cabbage, pico de gallo and salsa, as well as a creamy sauce. They also have a small dallop of guacamole with a few chips. Overall they are very good, and there is quite a bit, so I see you could almost split these and be satisfied. I also had one of their coffee cupcakes and I was pleasantly surprised. It had a good, not overpowering, flavor which I really enjoyed. They also have a large selection of fountain beverages including flavored teas and vitamin water. I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Cafe Sole. Everything on the menu looked so good! We couldn't decide on one thing so we decided to each order a sandwich and split it.They had 3 different stations. One was with salads and poke. The other was sandwiches and wraps. Lastly it was pizza. We ordered the pesto panini sandwich and the turkey avocado sandwich. The pesto one stood out by far to the other sandwich. Had great flavor and was still warm. The turkey sandwich was super dry and needed lots of flavor! More cheese and sauce! It came with a side of pasta which also was extremely bland. The other side we got was fruit and that was delicious. Each piece was soft and juicy. Prices are up there, about $18+ for a sandwich by itself. Drinks are extra $5 but you can come back for refills.It did the trick for us while we were there hungry, but wasn't amazing.

While spending your day at Glen Ivy resort you are bound to get hungry. We stopped in at the Cafe Sol which is inside the resort. The place is nice with indoor and outdoor seating. There is a terrace above to eat as well. As you are eating they come around and clear your plates once done. As you walk in you are given a tray and utensils. There are monitors above showing what each section serves and you wait in the line of the section you choose. They have salads, sandwiches and wraps, nachos and pizza, and dessert. We opted for the sandwich spot. The price of a sandwich is $16-$18 so I'm here thinking it's gonna be great. The food is definitely overpriced for what it is and the food is just okay. We ordered a turkey pesto panini and a turkey avocado sandwich and shared. One of them came with a pasta salad and the other with some fruit. The panini was the favorite. It tasted good and the bread was soft. The fruit was also very sweet and fresh. As for the turkey avocado it was bland and the meat was dry. It needed some sauce or add ons. The pasta salad did not have any seasoning and it was like eating boiled penne. For a soft drink it was $5 and you get refills thru the day. Once your inside there aren't many food options so you kind of get stuck here. The food is okay and prices are high but if your hungry it's gotta do.

All that sun, water, and mud can make a person hungry!This is the main food resource at Glen Ivy. They also have a sushi bar (so they say), but it was closed when we went at about 4:45pm. Thankfully, we just got in before Cafe Sole closed. They were cleaning up, but still allowed us to order anything off the menu. There are lots of choices, and all seem to have that extra little oomph to make it more like spa food... healthy, good quality, tasty. Even though you order from a counter while holding a tray, the food that you leave with is really good stuff. Take it outdoors and eat while enjoying the beautiful scenery... trees, plants, mountains, birds, pools - and people walking around in the swim suits, if that's your sort of thing :PThe food itself is generally all around the same price $12-13. We ordered the Glen Ivy sandwich. Turkey slices, swiss cheese, avocado, sprouts, on squaw bread... Huge sandwich... and the best red grapes - so firm/crisp, sweet, and delicious. Plus a carrot cake for my mom's bday. She thought it was perfect.They also have wine & beer. Small plastic cups of wine for $6-7, but whatever, it was good.Friendly staff. Closes at 5pm, but get there earlier.

Overall: The atmosphere and the service is great. The food is overpriced.FOOD: So how it works, it's set up like a cafeteria where they make it fresh in front of you. There is a salad section (ahi poke, chicken Caesar, and 2 others), a pizza and sandwich section, and a desert section. You pick up a tray and head to the sign where you want to order and tell the staff what you would like. I ordered the kale and spinach 3 cheese quesadilla ($16)and my friend ordered the ahi poke salad ($18). They make the items right in front of you (pretty nice, can tell it's not microwave food or pre-made). She absolutely loved her salad and when I tried it, I somewhat did also. It felt just like something that I could make at home or order at a Japanese restaurant for a lower price.When I received mine, I felt the same way also. It was good but I could probably do it at home or order elsewhere. ATMOSPHERE: You can sit outside under the umbrellas, or inside (there is also an outside shaded area away from umbrellas). It reminds of me of being in Vegas in one of the grand hotel's pool area. It is lush with green plants and decorative chairs and tables. There are servers asking if everything is fine. Overall, just gorgeous. How could it not be with all the green and the pools nearby?!SERVICE: Amazing. Once again they're coming around asking how you are doing and if you need anything. The staff you rings you up at the counter asks how your day is going, what treatments you did, etc. Friendly and honestly interested in you. I like them :) I think I'll just come back to sit in the shade and munch on the snacks I bring unless I am SUPER hungry. But really, they were nice and very helpful.

We stopped in here for lunch during our Glen Ivy visit. I have eaten here years ago and remember it being pretty good.They offer a variety of salads, wraps, sandwiches, pizzas, nachos and soups. There is also an extensive variety of delectable desserts.My friend and I both got salads. I got the chicken caesar salad and she got the salmon salad. Both were really good. They give you a decent sized portion, too. The prices are on the higher side though. Both salads were $16 each. We got iced teas too. They offer Mighty Leaf brand, which is my favorite. The iced teas and beverages are $5 each- yikes! However, it is free refills. We ended the meal with chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious Nestle Tollhouse kind that had just the right amount of chewiness.Overall, it was very good. It's just a bit pricey for what you get. The ambiance and the tropical views are quite enjoyable though!

Wow! I'm so impressed by this restaurant! Located inside Glen Ivy Hot Springs, I honestly thought they'd serve sub par food at ridiculously high prices since, you're already at the spa and you have no choice but to eat there, like any amusement park, but no, the food's reasonably priced for the amount you receive, and it's all delicious. All the food's brought in from local farmers, keeping it fresh, healthy and reasonably priced. Their theme is Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. It's all made to order and you pick from three different stations. They have a special everyday. The day I went it was pho.There's a sandwich station that includes soups, and pasta w/marinara as a side dish. There are also pizzas, calzones, tacos, and huge wonderful salads. The salads are $12 - $16 but they are massive, I kid you not, as big as a head of lettuce, enough to share and then some. Seared ahi tuna salads, chicken, blackened wild salmon, etc. The first time I ate here I had the greek special w/gyro meat on pita bread w/yogurt, very tasty. The second time I had the tacos. You get three w/a choice of shrimp, wild salmon, beef or chicken. I had a salmon, a shrimp and a beef. All came w/cilantro sauce, and some other seasoning. Wasn't a big fan of the salmon w/dill.. the meat was very firm like it was marinated in something, sweet. The beef and shrimp ones were delicious. I couldn't help myself and also got a fresh oatmeal cookie, sooo good! There's also yummy potato chips, haagen daaz ice cream bars and specialty drinks. It's nice to know you can have a wonderful meal as you pamper yourself at this spa!

Mmmm! A cafe smack dab in the middle of our little oasis. Here at Glen Ivy, Cafe Sole offers a spectacular variety of healthy soulful food. - Italian, Salads, Sandwiches, Tacos and more. As Cynthia A. said, ridiculously high priced but will sure have you saying "You get what you pay for." You pay a pretty penny for the amount of cilantro, shrimp and over flowing citrus juice coming out of your Shrimp & Salmon tacos. (Enter Shrimp & Salmon taco visual here)Definitely delicious and would definitely come back for more! Grab a glass of wine to wash down all of that wholesome goodness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5/5 Ambiance - The mood, character, quality, tone, atmosphere.5/5 Service - Helpful, accommodating, efficient, delivery and speed?5/5 Food / Merchandise - Quality, taste, presentation.3/5 Price - Reasonable, inexpensive, high priced?(Based on Irma's review rating rubric - http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/evXt-5kyL-guqoCwxaAxtQ/l

Ah what to eat? The age old question. Well, when in Glen Ivy, you don't have a choice. You come here! Then you have to make a choice between the ginormous $20 nachos or the $14 soup and sandwich. Actually they have salads, turkey burger, and a few other munchables. Well, we ordered the sandwich because there was no way we could finish the nachos. We got in line (The one in the middle) , paid at the register, and grab ourself a seat. I believe the if you got iced tea here, you get free refills throughout the day. The portions of their soup here are out of your mind! It's bigger than the sandwich! I was expecting like a small cup or bowl, not a bowl that feeds 2 hungry marines! I got a pulled pulled panini. My other friends got a chicken. The bread that comes on pulled pork (long oblong kind) is different that that of chicken (round kind).Eat inside or al fresco. Oh there is a guy outside in a cart selling beer in a cart. He will dispense inside a blue cup. Someone he didn't give enough to warrant a 5 star review. Overall, even though it's the only choice, it's not a bad choice to go to.

While the food was tasty, the service was negligent at best. We approached the counter and were promptly ignored for several minutes then when we did order none of the chefs interacted with one another so no one knew what we were waiting for. I think they all assumed that we had been helped by another chef, which wasn't the case. A simple case of lack of communication. What made it worse is that we were the only people waiting to order. Literally no one else was in line. Anyways we came here due being famished after a day of relaxation. Who knew it could be so taxing? Split between three girls: nachos, a margarita pizza (which came with a side salad), a slice of carrot cake, and cookies. Does it sound like we were hungry? Because we were. We also got three drinks which were refillable, score!Nachos: chips piled high with beans, queso cheese, and all the toppings you'd expect for nachos. We got the 'single' serving but it was ginormous! Well worth the price. Margarita pizza: cherry tomatoes, soft mozzarella cheese, and a thin spread of tomato sauce. Crust was crisp and chewy, perfectly cooked. Side salad was a spring mix that I opted for ranch. The dressing was so good! Like the perfect ranch good. Carrot cake: Moist (I know everyone hates that word but what else can I use to describe cake?) filled with carrot, raisins, and spices that make carrot cake forget that you are eating vegetables in pastry. Frosting was too overwhelming for me, but it usually is when it comes to cream cheese frosting. My cohorts loved it though. White chocolate macadamia nut cookies: Unbelievable. Freshly baked each morning, these cookies are enough for me to want to come back to this cafe. They come in a two pack!Why the ding? It's the service. Yes it is expensive, but it's that whole 'you're trapped here might as well make the best of it' mentality. The food is shareable and the ingredients are good so just sit back and relish in the nachos, bro.
