Iāve been wanting to try this place since itās opened!! The restaurant is in a brand new resort so everything is nice and new. Kinda of a woodsy contemporary style. When you walk in, you enter through the hotel lobby. At first sight you see the bar. We were with our baby, so we couldnāt dine in the bar. But if we return, I think we would ONLY dine in the bar. The views are better, bigger windows, and has more of a āvibeā compared to the restaurant.
DRINKS: NOT GOOD. I am a private bartender and spent years in fine dining bars, where we use only the best quality spirits, fresh squeezed juices, and kold draft ice. I try to have realistic standards when not at a cocktail bar or 5 star restaurant. We ordered two margaritas, east enough. Tequila, triple sec, citrus, garnish, EASY. I understand the liquor laws and know drinks are small. But the drink tasted like watered down, and had no flavor. Like the sweet and sour mix may have been made wrong? Or the server (I think the servers make the drinks, but not positive) didnāt add the right ingredients. Iām not sure. But I would not recommend ordering one of their cocktails. Maybe the bartender upstairs has more experience but it just seemed like cocktail knowledge was not up to par. I would stick with beer and wine next time we dine!
SERVICE: Great server! She was very nice, respectful and helpful. Seemed like she values her work and likes the restaurant.
APPETIZERS: were AWESOME. We loved the (not so) spicy wings and the grilled artichoke. Would likely go back just for the artichoke!
SALAD: I LOVED the Caesar salad. Big enough for the table to share too. Would totally order that again.
ENTREES: We ordered two pasta entrees. Pretty good flavor, maybe 7/10. But They. Are. HUGE. Looking at other tables, it looked like all the food comes out in very large portions!
DESSERT: nothing too fancy here. Not amazing. Not bad either. Probably wonāt get desserts when I return.
Over all, nice enough place! Will...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreUnbelievable WORST Restaurant ever!!! I ordered salmon, medium rare, the piece that came was so small and thin that it was well done. The waitress was sorry and took it back. 5 minutes later she came back and told me 3 minutes. 20 minutes later (they had probably tried other small pieces that had come out well done too), I finally received my dish, a thicker cut, which was completely FROZEN!!! The waitress was now embarrassed. A cook came out, sorry too but with no explanation. They wanted to offer desserts. Everybody was done eating (see below) and I was not about to try something else. The desserts came out: the skillet cookie tasted like baking soda and the flourless cakes were so burnt and super dry on the outside that they crumbled (instead of being soufflĆ©-likeā¦.andā¦.wait for itā¦.they were FROZEN INSIDE!!!! So I told the waitress, my husband was very pissed my kids could not stop laughingā¦.saying they would call the Dune 2 wormsā¦.and it is not overā¦.there was a knuckle longā¦.eggshell in my daughterās cake that we insisted the waitress brought back to the kitchen!!!
As for the rest! This should NOT be called the overlook (with a panoramic view) as there is a building being built right in front, very close, taking most of the view. Skip the $4 bread and butter: 3 small pieces burnt on a grill with no butter, we had to ask for the butter! Our kids ordered pizza, we had to ask for towels to wipe off all the fat dripping down their hands. None of them wanted to finish it (when every week they order too much to save some for breakfast! We insisted they took it to go. They through it in the garbage can in the garage when wr arrived! This restaurant has a 4.2ā¦.should be a 2.4!!!! AVOID!!! Not worth your...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad family in from out of town on Monday February 17, 2024 and wanted to take them to a nice restaurant for a night out. Instead of the night being a pleasant and relaxed evening g ended up being a horrible experience for all. First ordered three cocktails and two mocktails for the table. After 25 or 20 minutes and asking the server about the drinks was informed that the bartender was late. After over an hour and asking about the cocktails multiple times finally 2 of three cocktails arrived but were horrible. The third cocktail arrived 15 minutes later and it was not drinkable either. At this point still no mocktails for the other two. The server agreed to have one of the cocktails remade which ultimately never came. After over an hour and a half we finally received most of the meals we preferred but not one of the salads. Asked to speak to the manager only to be told the manager never came in. After two hours asked for the check and told server to take the salad ( which never came), the two mocktails and the remade cocktails that never came either. At that point the server said the reason the mocktails never came was because the bartender didnāt have all the ingredients. It appeared that the servers were taking orders, delivering the good and clearing tables which Iām sure was overwhelming to them. Itās unforgivable that a restaurant like this wouldnāt have a backup plan to served their guests. If we hadnāt paid hundreds of dollars for this meal I might have understood the service but once again this service was not under any circumstances acceptable. With all the other options available for exceptional good and service I canāt imagine I would ever go back...
