Tanglewood- A Southern Kitchen — Restaurant in Bonita Springs

Visited for the breakfast buffet. I love ❤️ breakfast buffets, specially when they have made to order omelette stations. Unfortunately, this one let me down a little bit. The pancakes for example didn’t taste fresh. They tasted if a back stack was made and left out. I believe this is because they left them out on a serving wood cutting type board instead of placing them in a chaffing container with lid. They had offerings like potatoes like, scrambled eggs, bacon and chicken sausage. I ordered a custom egg white omelette with ham. I asked for olive oil rather than vegetable oil. It was nice and fresh, just a too much oil used. I like a fine coat of the pan, when it was served the my plate had oil below the omelette. But the lady was friendly and service was fast. She was cooking 4 at a time and was very impressive. 3 of us had it and all notice the oil thing. But I will tell you it was still good. The side dishes like sausage and pancakes were a let down. potatoes were a little on the colder side. The service was great, they kept our table clean and offered juices and refreshment. I will skip this buffet next time I am in town. Not terrible but ok. Parking is validated but they messed up on mine and had to pay 10.00 bucks. Manager later agreed to reimburse me but got tied up and...

Saturday, 3/13/21, three of us dined at Tanglewood Restaurant in the Coconut Hyatt. The experience was less than average which included poor, disorganized service, average food and a nice outdoor ambiance.

A lovely evening and we asked to be seated outside when reserved.

We ordered calamari for an appetizer and no plates were offered, and after flagging down a bus boy it still took ten minutes to find someone to give us plates. When ordering cocktails I asked for a beverage napkin which never came. The eggplant parm was okay, the spaghettini was over cooked, over cut with no sauce. The broccolini tasted like it had been barbecued which was not a nice complement to the parm.

Another friend ordered spaghetti bolognese which he said was not very good at all. The third person ordered frutta Di mare and she didn’t complain.

It is spring break so there were oodles of screaming kids and families which contributed to the chaos of the poor, disorganized service.

I would never recommend...

Fantastic Dining Experience – Highly Recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining here and I have to say, it was a truly delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right blend of elegance and comfort.

The ALLIGATOR JAMBALAYA was a burst of flavor, clearly prepared with passion and attention. Everything was cooked to perfection. The Espresso martini from ALEX @ Mangroves bar was out of this world!

But what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional service. Our server, MYLA was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made me feel welcome. I dined alone, which can be anxiety provoking but she anticipated my needs without being intrusive, made excellent menu recommendations, and ensured my glass was never empty. It’s rare to find a team so dedicated to creating a memorable dining experience.

If you’re looking for a place with great food and service that makes you feel like a valued guest, Tanglewood should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait...
