Tarpon House — Restaurant in Cape Coral

We saw the Marriott advertise for their Thanksgiving buffet , thinking it was a Marriott We thought it was going to be top-of-the-line food atmosphere for Thanksgiving but to our surprise, it was extremely disappointing. We actually walked in questioning if we were in the right spot, they assured us that this was the correct restaurant the Tarpon. there was no table cloths it looked like it was set up for a casual lunch it had NoThanksgiving feel to the restaurant. Turkey was a processed turkey breast serve, not a fresh turkey there was no sweet potatoes There was no cranberry sauce, no bread, no crackers it was actually shocking and when you asked for these items they said they were not available. At the end we asked for coffee and there was no coffee . The waiter was so kind he went to the coffee shop in the hotel to get us two coffees. All the food was extremely average ! I think they need to reevaluate that chef who put that menu together We had a very disappointing...

Like the other Marriott restaurants on site, the waitress and service were top notch!! We were greated right away by what appeared to be a manager. We were given the option of indoor/outdoor. The waitress was very helpful, kind and knowledgeable about the menu items. The food was decent, but not for the price point...I get that it's a resort and we're on vacation, but I think charging $9 per egg is excessive and taking advantage of the fact that there are no other breakfast options nearby. My poached eggs over hash plate was delicious because I didn't use the hollandaise sauce that had no flavor...salt and pepper did the trick. The name of the meal has the word "scallions " in it....they were merely sprinkled on the blank parts of the plate and weren't enough to add any flavor. The coffee was bold and strong, which I really like. The buffet is around $23pp unless you want to add an egg, then it goes up to around $28pp. Like other reviews, I agree that the views...

Posting specifically about the dinner - and more specifically about Pam, our fantastic server. The dinner at Tarpon House was lovely, food really great, drunken grouper a special hit, as were other dishes. The sunset views were spectacular, made all the better bc our server, Pam, offered immediately to take our picture and brought us to the “best” spot for the best view (a gorgeous shot)! She proceeded to give us recommendations for where to go on our stay (we had just arrived a few hours prior) and gave very “locals only” specific pointers that turned out to lead to one of our best days ever on a trip. She truly made both the dinner AND the trip memorable and a delight, and getting to know her was a treat as well!

FYI, costs for this restaurant are quite high, so keep that in mind - and we ended up avoiding it for breakfasts when you learn that a small bowl of fruit is like $11. What??? But the dinner with...
