I don’t know where to start it was so horrible. Waited one hour and 20 minutes to receive a cold bowl of soup (was to be hot). Received a Shrimp cocktail with 5 tiny shrimps, tried ordering various thing on their disgraceful menu only to find none were available because they can only order for the kitchen very small amounts of food because they only have a few small coolers. Asked for a pasta dish al dente ended up with over boiled fettuccine covered in some nondescript pasta vodka sauce. They said they don’t have coffee. The property is operated by Aimbridge under a Marriott franchise. I suggest read trip advisor before considering this abomination of a restaurant. I almost forgot asked for salt and received a tiny weeny bag similar to the kind when you order coffee out and you are given a plastic utensils from a small coffee shoppe.

We understand that staffing may be difficult and that times may take longer. Nevertheless the ambiance, the food quality and the waiter were excellent.

Everything was late- seating, food ordering, food service and to top it off the food itself was basic and badly plated.
I thought that after Marriott took it over there would be some positive changes. NONE so far.

A very disappointing Christmas Dinner. Service was very slow. It took 35 minutes from time ordered to get a shrimp cocktail. It took over 2 hours for dinner.
I had the Filet and was surprised that a 1/4 of it was gristle. The sauce on the steak was cold.
My husband had the Wahoo fish and it was good.
My husband had ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio. He thought he had ordered the $48 wine, but he had not said which Pinot Grigio and the Server did not ask which one on the menu. When the bill came it was the $75 wine.

The place was short staffed. There was poor communication and we waited almost an hour for starters. We never got to the main course. Our reservation was 7:30 and we left at 9:30 without a meal.

On our honeymoon. Made a reservation, and when we arrived the restaurant wasn’t open. We had to drive 30 min to have dinner elsewhere.
