Island Kitchen — Restaurant in Seogwipo-si

This is the main restaurant at the JW Marriott Resort & Spa. They offer breakfast, brunch buffet and seafood dinner buffet. We’ve so far tried the dinner buffet and a la carte buffet. The food is quite good. The dessert selections in particular are fantastic. They also customized our breakfast order to accommodate our dietary restriction.

Only one ding, hence the minus one star for service. I’m a serial snacker. I like to eat many very small meals throughout the day. I purposely ordered more food off the a la carte menu so I could pack some to go for our morning drive. When I asked for to-go boxes, the waiter told me no to-go for food, only for drinks, which was a tad annoying. The Guest Relations manager eventually redeemed the experience after I complained. She shared that the reason they did not offer to-go boxes is because guests have complained in the past about to-go food going bad. I recommend either calling out no to-go up front before any food is ordered or explaining the concern about to-go food going bad when asked, as opposed to just saying “no” for future to-go requests. I agree guests need to be made aware of this concern, but we are all adults and should be able to do what we want with food we...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at JW marriott and only ate here for our stay. The morning breakfast was great- we were given plenty of food starting with freshly squeezed fruit juice, the best croissant i’ve ever had and truffle butter, and crunchy toasted granola with fresh yogurt.

A la carte menu consists of western and Korean- Korean menu was a hit for the kids and western menu consisted of plenty of protein.

Dinner seafood royale was over the top- not only it was fresh seafood and sashimi, the best part to rave about was the DESSERT!! So many intricate desserts to choose from and all too pretty to eat but also delicious. Their original green tea blend was amazing to finish off the meal.

The only thing Id like to ask so that it improves for the guest experience is that if they can change the cutleries for every meal. They saved the cutleries after clearing out the courses or empty plates- which I didnt mind but most upscale restaurants would bring you fresh ones. That is all. The staff were all very...

We had an incredible brunch, dinner, and breakfast here! The food was fresh and local. The atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful. I particularly loved the all you can drink brunch, which was the same price as breakfast and dinner surprisingly. The service was really nice as well, everyone treated us with kindness and respect, even though they didn’t speak our language perfectly. I also loved having our server Stephen hosting us every meal, it made for especially memorable service! I would definitely recommend getting the package deal when staying at the...
