The price of admission is well worth the satisfaction of mouth-watering treats that are offered at this relaxing venue. The ambiance is no doubt soothing as one is surrounded by beautiful palm trees and the sound of water splashing from the immense Victorian fountain at center court. Indulgence is a beautiful thing, when practiced at a stage like this. L.A.

  • Pros: Everything.
  • Cons: None.
