A spacious room with an elegant, contemporary décor and with a handsome bar and lounge, Ceres overlooks lush gardens, waterfalls and fountains. Dining al fresco is popular, as is the breakfast buffet. Freshly squeezed orange juice and a strawberry-banana smoothie are refreshing breakfast starters, and omelets and eggs Benedict are hot options. At lunch and dinner, vegetable with beef and barley soup is served; so are jumbo lump crab cakes with field greens and tarragon mayo, and lemon-zested calamari with shrimp tempura. The menu changes seasonally, so for dinner you may find yourself starting with a red and yellow beet and watercress salad accompanied by goat cheese and candied walnuts, topped with a citrus vinaigrette. We like the open-face lobster ravioli in basil vodka sauce. The ten-ounce center-cut Prime filet of beef with Vidalia onion jam is also a winner. Save room for the creamy vanilla bean cheesecake with a fresh berry compote. A piano player on weekend evenings makes this restaurant with standout views even more romantic.
