Read moreI am not normally one to leave a review but I was really disappointed in this restaurant. We are staying at the hotel so we figured might as well support as we know they just rebranded and changed everything and give them a shot! We order shrimp cocktail which was probably the only good thing we ordered. Everything else was just ok pretty bland. While I’m a huge tourist fan unlike most I support tourist restaurants as they are good and deal with lots of crazy people. Tourist town comes with tourist prices and I’m fine with. However I have kids and asked if they have a kids menu, our server said yes we have chicken strip and fettuccine for kids. I said perfect. Ordered one kid the tenders and one fettuccine and one kid an adults taco meal. Come to find out there is no kids meal, kids sizes or prices. It was adult meals at the adult prices for my children. Not to mention one got water, free of course, one got sprite it comes in a can and cost $5 for a can of sprite and the other orders lemonade. $10 freaking lemonade. Very plain simple lemonade nothing fancy. Like what?! That’s INSANE!! We are a family of 6 and our bill was over $330 and I didn’t even order a meal. I’m not a cheapskate when it comes to dinner especially if there is seafood which we didn’t even get to experience being close to the ocean. Also tip is automatically included in the price which I would tip at minimum 20% regardless but this whole experience on bland food and a “kids” meal and dinner in generally just wasn’t what it should have been. Highly don’t recommend. Save your money, get an Uber if you have to and go somewhere good and fancy it will still be cheaper and hopefully...
Read moreWe booked here specifically because we were arriving by boat and needed overnight docking. I called to verify. At first the girl who answered said they don’t have docks??!! (meanwhile it’s advertised as one of the o my in the area with a dock) She then asked a manager who informed her they do have docks. I asked does it need to be reserved and what’s the cost and she said no reservation and no cost. We arrived on a thursday midday and there were plenty of spaces to dock (it was actually empty) The dockmaster Ralph said the docks are for the restaurant not the hotel and for overnight it’s $150.He was very nice and helped us dock while we went to speak to the hotel which is all connected. The hotel said the dock is through the restaurant and not them. We were very angry because we just came in by boat after 4 hours in rough seas. We told John the man upfront that we were told there was docking at no charge for guests. Needless to say we canceled the reservation and hopefully they refund us due to their lack of information and training with their front desk staff. We still had a glimpse of hope Being that we were tired and hungry. We asked the girl upfront at the restaurant about the docking. Here is the icing on the cake.: she said it’s normally $500 for overnight docking but because our boat wasn’t huge, she will only charge us $200. What a scam! so basically the hotel lost a reservation and the restaurant lost several hundred dollars in revenue because we would’ve had lunch, drinks and dinner. Ridiculous! We are actually from South Florida and we would never go or recommend this place or the restaurant to...
