Cinnamon Tree Restaurant

This restaurant was where I had my meals throughout my hotel stay at Delta. Since this hotel is located in a business park, the nearest fast food or dine in place is like half a mile walk.

The hotel does well to give a customer, not sure if it being booked through a business is what had them give me four vouchers; however, it definitely is a saver. I had tried their breakfast for 8/8 and it was not bad. Breakfast had bacon strips, cheese omelettes with some vegetables in it, french toast sticks, potato rounds/wedges, and these yogurt parfaits.

The restaurant is situated really oddly because if one stands at the podium, ready to be seated and no one is there, one has to go into the room so that a server is able to see that you are waiting to be seated. The servers will also be the ones to get you a beverage (water, soft drinks, etc.)

This restaurant can also be used for a lunch option. Today, they had a taco bar. Three different kind of meats and any additional vegetables, sour cream, guacamole, etc. on the side. They had two kinds of desserts, banana nut break cake, and a cheesecake. Both were good. The only bad part is the inflated price. Unlike breakfast, where I had a voucher; lunch, I had to pay $24 including tax.

$24 for two taco made with three different kinds of meats, a corn vegetable mix, salsa, and cheese and a slice of banana nut bread cake and a slice of cheesecake. That is nuts!

I foresee that I am going to be spending at least another $50 here before my stay is up. Probably will eat a big lunch everyday and skip dinner. I have seen people order off a menu and so I am curious as to what value the voucher will hold, how many items I can order in one sitting, if I do that option instead.

8/10

Decided to come back to this place for breakfast today and they had some different things. They had an applesauce cup and cut up fruit (cantaloupe, honey dew melon, strawberries, and blueberry mix) along with the normal uncut apples and bananas.

They also have a make your own omelette station. I decided to get mine with three meats (ham, sausage, and bacon bits along with green peppers and spinach leaves). Beverage of choice was orange juice.

My original goal was to try something different at this place because I would ultimately be reviewing it; however, I found the A LA CARTE was kind of a ripoff if one has a voucher. I mean there are no exclusive dishes here and if one goes for the buffet, they get everything on the A LA CARTE. I guess if one just wanted a cheap breakfast that could be an option. Cheaper to get an omelette or waffle for like $12 than eat a buffet for $22.

We came here for breakfast since we purchased the room and breakfast package. We had the option of I believe an American breakfast or the buffet, and we went for the buffet of course! I was impressed with selection, they had the basics, sausage, bacon, hash browns, fruit, various pastries, and the most memorable was the omelette station. We were able to order customized omelettes and they were so delicious! The bacon was amazing, the hash browns not so much, they had an odd and oily taste to them, and the pastries were very dry. If you want turkey products you have to request since it's only pork on the buffet. Our waitress was friendly, she was attentive for the most part, we had to request beverage refills a few times after we'd ask but it wasn't too bad. I would come back for the bacon and omelette. Yummy!

I also liked the decor it was very cozy and classy! It's a nice setting to have brunch or dinner with family and friends.

Mediocre hotel room service food mainly tastes like its been microwaved.

I had the cream of she crab. Consistency was smooth. Flavor profile was eggy, cream, and had a nice touch of seafood base. There were small bits of lump crab meat in there as well. The portioning of crab was moderate. The soup was the best part of the meal.

We ordered the calamari and wings for apps. These were of decent quality. Everything was fried and salty.

The hunt valley inn burger was quite unmemorable. We ordered it Medium but it was clearly just well done. The patty is blatantly from frozen. The accompanying fries were from frozen: tasty but oily and not much interesting flavor depth.

Hands down the worst breakfast I've ever had. I asked for eggs over easy and they came back hard as a rock, burnt hashbrown, cold toast. I had to ask for butter.
Cute little waitress pretty clueless first brought my coffee then walked away brought me my juice 10 minutes later came back with my water 5 minutes after that came back with my cream now my coffee is cold. then my horrible breakfast showed up didn't have time to send it back although I let her know that it was not good. As I was walking out I told my friends that they were going to be waiting over a half hour for breakfast and they did and they said their breakfast was freezing cold overdone just like mine.

Terrible! I ordered a crab cake sandwich with fries. The crab cake was very average. The entire meal arrived luke warm after waiting close to 30 minutes for it. I do not recommend it.

I have no complaints on this restaurant. It is very beautiful inside and the bar area as well. Our meals were fab! I had fish tacos that were prepared and seasoned perfectly. The add ons, like the avocado was an unexpected touch. I have had mediocre tacos in the past. People can actually screw fish tacos up, but these were on point and one of the best I have had. They allowed me to switch my side of rice for asparagus, Score! Great dinner. My friend enjoyed his as well. He asked to switch his side to wild mushrooms and they accommodated his request, no problem. I think this place may be a hidden gem! The whole restaurant was empty with exception for us. Very happy we chose this place!

Another delicious brunch at cinnamon tree. The room has been renovated and its looks very lovely. A nice relaxing atmosphere, great for larger groups. The breakfast buffet was great. I enjoyed the fresh fruit and the omlette that i got from the omlette station.

We will be back.

-At one time this buffet was outstanding! But now it is rather boring with bland but acceptable food. The problem is there is just nothing outstanding in the menu- nothing worth 37 bucks for Easter brunch.
-Wait staff and servers are fine, but the Asian hostesses are grouchy and not approachable. I told them that several of my party would be a bit late and when they did arrive, the hostess would not let them in the dining room until I came out to get them.
- Also the way the buffet tables are setup are confusing and the staff had to be asked 2 times to replenish plates and food.

Incredibly bad food! I order the grilled chicken burger! It came out looking like it was prepared the day before! Despite the "toasted" bun, it was ICE cold! I then order dessert, cream brûlée and it tasted freezer burnt!! They charge premium prices but deliver less than premium quality food. I truly believe McDonalds has a better chicken burger.

I was staying in the Hunt Valley Inn for FaerieCon. 2016. Cinnamon Tree is the restaurant attached to the hotel. The Sunday brunch had a variety of hot and cold breakfast and lunch food. It was able to accommodate carnivores and vegetarians alike. There was a breakfast buffet, a hot lunch buffet, salad bar, omelette/ waffle station. The lady working the omelet station was amazing. She had three omelette orders going and all three people walked away happy.

The staff was friendly and efficient. Thank you, Terence, for taking care of the five of us.
