Laguna Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Dr. Phillips

The best dinner I had there was the veggie burger. It was larger than any I have had before. It did not taste like it was frozen. It was not made to taste like meat like the mystery material burgers do. The cornmeal covered bun and vegetables on it were fresh and tasty. They have a selection of fries to choose from. My fries were the regular American Fries and great. Another dinner I had there was the Spinach Salad. It is usually served with a protein, so they should add more vegetables to it to make it a meal when not getting meat, chicken, or shrimp. I was still hungry on that occasion so I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip with chips. It was not oily from the cheese as many dips can be. They served a small portion of chips, but my waitress offered to bring more a few times which was appreciated. The amount of artichokes, cheese, and spinach was balanced well and was delicious. All six of my Mango Ginger Beer mocktails were great... Hotel prices should be expected. They add a gratuity to all checks, from one or more people based on the amount of people in the group. Usually when I was on the patio I was presented with a placemat menu which is limited compared to the full formal menu served indoors. In my opinion, this restaurant deserves to be considered a place to go to even if you are not a guest at the hotel. You must consider that you will be walking a bit of a distance from the parking lot to get there, and the parking is limited if you are not a hotel guest. The hotel has many rooms and guests, along with convention attendees, so there...

This is located inside the Hilton Doubletree by Seaworld.

For a hotel restaurant it was OK. Average food with a little more than average prices (typical hotel pricing, but less than typical "resort" pricing). My Spinach salad with grilled chicken breast was $22. It was good, but not really noteworthy. You're paying for the convenience of staying on the property to eat. My husband had the chicken wings and said they were ok, but he only ate half of them (very unusual for him) and he said there wasn't very much meat on them.

The service was great though! We ate at an odd time and there was only one other table with diners. We only ate the 1 meal on property as we had a vehicle with us on this trip and were able to go out and there are many great restaurants options within a 5-10 minute drive.

So, if you're hungry and don't want to leave the hotel, Laguna's does the job, but it's not going to be a memorable vacation meal if you know...

I was here for a surveyor convention this week. I arrived a few minutes before noon & was walked all the way through the restaurant to a small table. I was surrounded by several large parties. I waited for nearly 30 minutes before Maria A. asked what I wanted to drink. I said I wanted a diet Pepsi and the DT Club sandwich. This was the description per the menu: DT Club $15.50 Sliced turkey breast, bacon, tomato, cheddar cheese, arugula, and chipotle spread on ciabata bun The sandwich arrived at 1:17pm!! I never got a refill on my drink. I had to be back to my meeting at 1:30pm!! I crammed the sandwich that was missing bacon, tomato, and arugula.... and they had the nerve to add a automatic gratuity?!?! I crossed off the gratuity and pretty much had to run to get back to the meeting. There was never any apology issued for this lousy service and meal.... if you want to call it that. If I could, I would give NEGATIVE STARS!!! Date of...
