The Grand Bar and Lounge — Restaurant in Florida

I don’t understand how this place has more than one star. Went here this morning for breakfast. It’s in a hotel, a bit confusing but that’s another story…I walk in and it’s cute looking, looks more like a bar/lounge. I’m the only one there. I order an omelette and a smoothie. 20 min goes by no one says anything to me. Then a woman comes out and goes to the door and locks it .I said did you just lock me in? She said no don’t worry we are just closing because they are coming to do work and points to the ceiling. She doesn’t mention my food, doesn’t apologize for the wait. I was about to walk out the door (which I had to unlock) and I wish I did walk out the door. Meal cost me $26.50. For an omelette and smoothie. The omelette tasted fine in my opinion it’s pretty hard to mess up an omelette, but for the price -not impressed. A hash brown that taste packaged and some toast. The smoothie was $8.50 and let me tell you it was absolutely not a smoothie. It was just with ice blended. I wish I used my credit card instead of cash because I would dispute it. The drink should have been $2 and should not have been advertised as a smoothie. It was supposed to be mango and coconut milk and other fruit. It was mango juice and maybe apple juice and ice. Horrible experience -one of the worst in my life.(PS I did try to call to resolve this before posting because I very very rarely post a bad review -but I couldn’t get anyone...

Bartender had no clue how to bartend; asked for a regular Long Island, she kept insisting I have a blue Long Island, I informed her I did not like blue long islands as I find them too sweet and she looked puzzled. I insisted I have a regular Long Island and she came back and gave me a blue Long Island anyway. First red flag, when we ordered food my gf asked for a burger and she never asked for a temperature and when the burger came my gf told me it seemed like the burger was incredibly dry and tasted like it was microwaved. The Cajun pasta I ordered was tasty, but the salmon was dry. Aside from that, the ambiance was nice and the decor was nice and comfortable. It seems like this is a good spot if you’re staying at the hotel, if you’re a local (like me) I think there are better...

Wow - beware of all the great reviews.

This place is located inside a hotel. Google said open until 11Pm. Arrived at 4pm for an early dinner and they were closed. The hotel front desk said they didn't know when they would open but usually about 6:30pm. I called the restaurant phone number and the guy at the hotel front desk (that I just asked why the restaurant was closed and he said he didn't know) answered the phone .

Dine here...
