Queen's Medical Center Room Service

What? Did I just say room service? As in ordering food from a beautifully printed menu? Just like you'd do in a fancy hotel room?

Yes, that's what I said. The Queen's Medical Center has a room-service menu. If your doctor hasn't ordered a special diet while you're in there, you can call them up and order whatever you like. They even know your room number when you call, even though you've just been moved there.

The meal will be delivered within 45 minutes or less, and if a family member wants to order a meal, they can do that as well (but you have to get a guest tray voucher from the cafeteria or deli). Calls to the kitchen extension can be made from the room, but say you just talked to a family member on the phone and mentioned what you want to eat. The family member can call their outside line and order for you.

They offer full-on breakfasts (omelets, breakfast meats, fruit, cereals, pastry, yogurt), liquid or pureed diets, broths, soups, deli sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, hot entrees (Mac and Cheese, chili, pot roast, meatloaf, turkey, chicken pot pie and more), Asian stir fry, Italian dishes, ramen, beverages and desserts.

Outstanding! It isn't a four-star restaurant, but hey, they're trying hard.
