   Food was great, the general ambiance wonderful, music level too loud for a quiet dinner conversation!

   Good food. They only had on server, and she did as well as she could, but it made the service slow. Nice view of the ocean.

   We had reservations for 5:30pm but were ready at 4:30 so we decided to go early and see if we could get in because of the wait times mentioned in previous reviews. We were seated outside and our drink and appetizer order was taken and fulfilled in a friendly, professional and timely way. However, the service was a real mixed bag. Our entrees took a very long time to get and they weren’t that busy. The food was was bland and overcooked. It wasn’t worth the price spent. We sat outside, which was nice, but it was a little like a picnic and less like a nice restaurant. Still, we had a beautiful view of the ocean.

   They were out of all lobster and shrimp, which meant over half the menu wasn't available. Out of the 4 meals we ordered, only the filet was good, and that was extremely overpriced for what it was. The meal was so bad that we didn't return the next morning for the free breakfast. Definitely would not recommend!!!

   The server was amazing. They are grossly understaffed and overall inattentive. Ordered food and 45 mins later were told they were out of one of the items. Then ordered a substitute (Salmon) and it arrived 45 mins and was almost raw. The management of this resort needs to either be open and severely limit the number of customers or just not be open at all.

   The views were the best. The lobster bisque was delicious. Steele drum music delightful but only played 1/2 the time we were there. Downhill from there. Carambola pasta with shrimp was good. But the wahoo first delivered was overcooked,dry and uneatable. Sent back. The second was a little better. Servers had to be flagged down. Delivered our main course while we were still eating our first course. Very poor wine list. We were given 20% off for the issue with the wahoo.

    I'd made reservations here due to myself and my spouse staying on property. It was my birthday to and only to get there and they had no bread available for bread basket, and run of of filet Minion for surf and turf. Totally disappointed and they are very expensive. My husband got the Cornish hen dish and it had absolutely no flavor and was very dry. He left it on the plate Practically untouched. To make matters worse we went next door to get a simple burger and fries, they had run out of fries and it took over 30mins to get a burger. The only thing decent were the staff were pleasant and understand.
