   We reserved to celebrate my husbands birthday. We agreed to be seated in the bar area - but that turned out to be a little bit too loud. Our server seemed overwhelmed and we did not have attentive service throughout the entire dinner - the server knew it was not going well - every time she would come by, she would apologize. A woman at a table near us was irritated with her table service and when she asked a server if she could please put in a drink order, the gal seemed irritable in her response. One waiter spilled a big pitcher of water right next to us - mistakes happen I know. Then we ordered dessert and it was not complimentary even tho I mentioned his birthday in the reservation and the hostess noted that and chatted with us about it. We've spent his birthday here every year since 2020 so that was a surprise. I was too embarrassed to mention anything but $18 for three small Bon bons and no candle was a bit much. Overall not a great experience and at those prices, it should have been more special - we will find a different place for next year.

   I love the new Mediterranean inspired dinner menu! As well as the Sunday Brunch spread.

   Beautiful property, nice live music during Mothers Day brunch. Buffet with quite a variety of items. Food was very good as was table service. Buffett area very tight so it was difficult to maneuver around with all the people there. And was very expensive. My sons wanted to surprise their Mom with a bottle of champagne and had a hard time getting anyone to call them back before the event which was disappointing for a high end resort who should have very high level of customer service. Overall a very nice experience though.

   Our waiter, Jason, was superb. The food was not. I had shrimp and rib-eye kebabs which were tasty, but way overcooked and dry. Zucchini chips were really good and quite unusual. The blueberry cheesecake dessert was superb.

   Jason was our service person and he was terrific, warm, welcoming, and helpful with a few menu requests. Cocktails were wonderful, we had a relaxing time enjoying them and the beautiful sunset. The pace of service allowed us time to catch up with friends, but not feel like we were lagging. Food was truly delicious. After dining here so many times over the years, this is still one of our absolute favorites for ambiance, service, and food!
