Suncadia Resort - Fifty6 Degrees Review

I recently went on a marriage retreat to Suncadia Resort with my wife.  I was totally blown away by the resort in general.  It has everything you need, from golf, wineries, rivers, beautiful scenery, and great food!  I had some amazing food at Swiftwater Cellars, the winery on the property.  I highly recommend the Kung Pao Calamari for an appetizer, one of the best calamaris I've ever had in my life.  The Beef Tenderloin was absolutely perfectly cooked. . . .

(Not a picture of my drink. . . .but was my reaction!
But this isn't about their food.  We walked into the bar at the Lodge, Fifty6 Degrees, for a nightcap after dinner.  I ordered a Spanish Coffee, and they basically had no idea how to make it.  They pulled  together a coffee drink in a short coffee cup, with no sugared rim, some alcohol added (tasted like Whiskey) and topped it off with canned whip cream.  That was quite an expensive $12 coffee.

I do plan on going back to Suncadia, because it is certainly a world class resort!  But next time, I'm going to go teach them how to make a real Spanish Coffee, because I can't drink whatever they gave me again.  Once I do that, I'll update this post. For now, this gets a rating of 2/10
