After requesting specifically to be seated by bay windows facing the mini golf and bay the hostess started taking us to a totally different room which we need to redirect her. Then ordering the burger for $18.95 and requesting medium it came practically rare and ona soft brioche bun where the bottom bun was so wet from the excessive oil on the spring mix lettuce and tomatoes that the burger fell apart after just one bite. While the burger was larger than most (positive) I tried handling the burger once or twice more but the patty kept sliding around off the now practically extinct bun. I resorted to carving through the cooked parts with knife and fork. If I had wanted a steak I would have ordered one. Who designed this burger and did anyone take it out for a live spin before putting it on the menu? The Parmesan crusted fries were nice however. PS I don’t care that this is a well liked hotel. This particular burger dish needs to be redesigned. The bun should be sturdier and larger for this large...
Read moreYou really can’t beat the view and the grounds at the Grand, which bumps my review from a 4 based on quality and price to a 5 when you consider everything.
You can visit the restaurants and stroll the grounds without having a room. My family likes to visit a few times a month just for coffee from their coffee shop or breakfast/lunch from the Bayside Grill, then stroll along the bay and pond for an hour or so.

We are headed back this morning for breakfast and will order off the menu, at least for the kids. The last time we visited, the family sitting next to us had some great looking breakfast plates that I...
Read moreWe were pretty excited to eat here after doing the Christmas stroll to see the lights. We called ahead for a larger group (2 days prior) and the receptionist stated that he would add us to the list at our expected time. Upon arrival, we were told we were not on the list and the wait was an hour. We finally got a table in the "lobby" area and received our appetizer after the meal, received lukewarm food (mac & cheese with short ribs) which had at least a good 30% of fat instead of meat. The meat was tender and good except for all the fat. Three other people at our table ordered the same thing and had ZERO fat. We brought it to the waitresses attention, who then took it back to the manager, which did nothing to accommodate us other than remove the late appetizer from the bill. We...
