Restaurants near Vistana's Beach Club

My husband and I spend 4 mos out of the year in FL and the Dolphin Bar is our favorite restaurant! We've always enjoyed our dining experience in the past and celebrate his birthday on Dec 26 year after year. The food is delicious and we are always pleased with the presentation. However this year, we were not pleased with the wait staff. We made a reservation in advance and were seated immediately, but when brought to our seat, my husband's menu was "tossed" on the table and it fell onto the chair as the young lady whipped around and before properly seating us. Our waitress was very similar, she was very quick to leave our table and twice, she left as my husband was speaking to her. Our bread was brought to our table AFTER we received our entree- we had ordered a cocktail and would have enjoyed the bread beforehand as we were very hungry. When we ordered a birthday dessert, we were directed to a tall leatherette menu already on the table. We settled on an apple crisp, but when we ordered, the waitress yanked it off the table and said it was the fall fare and that it wasn't available. She then brought a different menu to order from. We don't typically complain, but we expect more from the Dolphin Bar- this was not the experience we are accustomed to from this lovely restaurant.

The food was amazing. This was our first time here. It’s a little bit pricey, but it’s great for a special occasion. We came here for Christmas because we wanted some place special and it was really nice because there was a piano player throughout the whole time we were there. Service was great. I had short ribs. My son had filet mignon and my husband had Osco Busco. Everything was amazing. We highly recommend this place.

I am so glad I decided to spend my birthday at Kyle G’s Prime Seafood! They made me feel like a queen! I notified the restaurant that it was my birthday and arrived at a decorated table. Our server Julie was very sweet, funny, and very attentive to our party! All of the food was delicious and we were all pleased- including my very hard to please mother! I was served first for everything, which I did not expect but was very nice! At the end of the dinner, out came a cute little cupcake and a candle! I normally don’t celebrate my birthday as it’s the 23rd of December, but I am glad I did and I chose this restaurant. You all made my birthday a special occasion! I will return soon!

This is the second time at this restaurant and the food was just amazing. Next time you go, order the Chicken wings for appetizer, chicken Milanese for your entree, and the Italian Zeppoles for dessert. You won’t regret it!

Liked all the new construction and parking lot! Food and service were good. Priced a bit on the high side.
