fine gardensreally good viewstasteless wingssoggy fries

The gardens were fine. I mean fine! Yoga showed us around, and I really enjoyed the walk up the mountain. The views were really good. Yoga pointed out fruits of the land.

I think the food at the bar could be improved. It was just dreadful. My chicken wings lacked any taste. The fries felt soggy, not crispy. I think there is room for improvements.
