I enjoy visiting cafeterias in public places such as government centers, and hospitals. Part of the reason being that they offer a wide variety of dishes and they are typically healthier and less expensive than most restaurants.
The City Centre Cafe at the Christus Santa Rosa is definitely one of the nicer cafeterias. It reminded me of a University cafeteria with different areas offering different types of food. For instance, their grill area offered grilled chicken burgers, burgers, and pizza. There was a section that had chicken enchiladas and beef fajitas. Another section offered sesame chicken saute and deli style sandwiches. They also had a mid-sized salad bar.
I opted for the sesame chicken saute. It had all the regular stuff in it: chicken, water chestnuts, baby corn, green onion, mushrooms, etc. and was served over a bed of rice. The one thing I didn’t like about this meal was that the rice was of an instant variety and wasn’t steamed. They should seriously invest in a steamer if they’re constantly creating Asian-style, sauteed dishes. $5.29 for a heap of a serving.
I’ll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings. Again, the price is good, and it’s better than fast food. And, although they don’t offer as much of a selection as a place like Luby’s, I sure liked the food at the Christus Santa Rosa City Centre Cafe much more.
