There is ample outdoor or indoor seating. Both areas kept nice and clean. Breakfast Crabcake Benedict- Initially a bit on the salty side, I had briefly mentioned this to my wait staff person when she asked how my meal was. A hallmark of good customer service and management was to make their customers happy. Despite not wanting to make a fuss over it, she must have mentioned it to her supervisor who promptly came out and explained that the Country style ham used for this dish might explain the extra saltiness. She was very nice and wanted to be sure I could enjoy my meal by readily offering to exchange the dish to exclude the country ham and replaced it with bacon instead. I was pleasantly surprised and really appreciated her quick response and remedy to the situation. Bonus point for that! The newly prepared dish came out as promised and I was able to enjoy my meal after this. I was also delighted that my request for morning coffee came with an additional carafe to enjoy about a good 3-cups without have to ask for a refill. The wait staff personnel were very friendly, periodically checked on how I was doing without being intrusive and she was able to give helpful information about their menu selections. I felt no rush to leave my table when my late sleeping husband decided to join me later too. The prices were very reasonable and they provide full service for their hotel guests by also offering room service, take out options and delivery to the poolside if you become hungry. An overall enjoyable experience for an out of town guest who was there for the first time for a wedding. Parking is by valet or you can do self parking which is a bit more of a distance. Just factor in the heat of the day when you visit the area.

It is a bit pricier than other options, but you are paying for the convenient location and ambience. The drinks are delicious with plenty of options on the standard menu. Drinks are a bit pricey for the size, but that's a minor concern. Bartenders are super friendly and happy to offer local recommendations. We split a Reuben sandwich, which was delicious, and Mahi mahi tacos which were also very good. Great little spot for a quick bite and some good food!

We arrived for our dinner reservation early as we wanted to relax, enjoy each others company and enjoy great wine. We started our dinner with a bottle of CAYMUS we'd brought along and ordered the charcuterie board. It was really a terrible board the were slimy meats, the cheese was sooo hard and in blocks meats were we struggled to even be able to cut with the butter knife we were given, and the bread was like a thin long crouton that crumbled everywhere when you took a bite. The macadamia nuts were probably the best part. Then we had the pork shank it was okay and was overpowered by the copious amount of sweet Thai chili on top. I had the Seafood Fra Diavalo and wedge. The dish was super tasty but was quite cold and the salad was less than average. My husband ordered the ribeye and the risotto. The steak was medium well (ordered medium rare) but really was the best feature of the night. The risotto was some of the worst flavored and textured food I've ever had in a restaurant, unfortunately. We got the chocolate tart and crème brûlée cheesecake. The tart was forgetful but the cheesecake was great. Our server was good she was very attentive but you could tell she was [very] nervous. We did have breakfast the next morning and watched ponies across the way. I was so disappointed after the front desk had recommended chicken and waffles but it wasn't on the breakfast menu and even though I asked, I was told the chicken couldn't be prepared. I resorted to the Beaufort Benedict it would've been 10x better without the hard dry toast and served on a proper English muffin. The honey dew on my fruit plate needed about 3 more days before it would've been tripe but the rest of it was good. The latte was great. The vibe of the restaurant, the wine wall, all of the plants, and the VIEW was worth our trip alone but the food could absolutely be stepped up a few notches.

Most enjoyable meal and afternoon I have spent in a long time. It has it all, food, drinks on the porch and dining deck. read more Most enjoyable meal and afternoon I have spent in a long time. It has it all, food, drinks on the porch and dining deck.
