The restaurant was not staff appropriately. They were overwhelmed and were making lots of mistakes. They could t keep up with the tables. Also, there were several open tables during dinner. You would think the manager would staff appropriately when they see the amount of reservations and knowing there is a sold out Zac Brown concert in the same resort.

Service was ok. Seems since we had 8 people in our group and there was an automatic service charge they didn’t need to be attentive to us. Had to ask a few time for refills. Then the food ,we got the ribs which were great and large and meaty but I also ordered the Fajita trio. All I received was 3 shrimp 4 sliced pieces of chicken and steak. Definitely not worth the price. The loaded me with plenty of sour cream, tomatoes and lettuce. And the wraps were just warm and crusty like they were over microwaved. My friend got a beer with a souvenir cup to bring home. How they charged was $12 for the beer vs a regular alcoholic drink was $8. Really didn’t need to “souvenir” cup. Overall an ok visit. But is it worth the price no.
