    Servers were overwhelmingly hospitable and we appreciated their kindness throughout the night. Food arrived late, and didn’t suit some of our expectations. The basque cheesecake was absolutely fantastic. Decent experience

    Good service, bad communication between food runners, kitchen and wait staff. Food took a long time and when it came out it was mediocre. Not a great experience.

    Angel Oak is an intimately lit restaurant with a private, romantic feel. Their menu is varied and has plenty of choices for everyone’s taste. We started with a bottle of champagne and prawn cocktails. Fresh and sweet. We requested the aged New York and the coffee rubbed filet, medium. Both were spectacular!! What made this dinner even more pleasurable was our server, Joe. He is fantastic. We never had to ask for anything, he was so attentive. We also had the pleasure of being introduced to Chef Seitour. He was so gracious taking the time for us to Thank him. We are dining with them again this evening.

    The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We were quickly seated and had immediate service. The server explained the dishes nicely. We split the Caesar salad. It was soaked in dressing with soggy tomatos. The seabass (maybe frozen), was inedible. The pasta dish was OK. Mgt. was apologetic and replaced the dish.

    All staff were great except reception. She wasn’t dressed appropriately, she didn’t read reservation notes, sat us in a lousy table, appeared rushed for no reason. Kaz our server was amazing as were other supervisors. Food was very good but I probably would skip unless I did not want to leave resort. Menu limited.

    Our favorite dining experience on our drive north. It’s a beautiful venue with spectacular ocean sunset views, the staff is experienced and excellent. The chef prepares exquisite fish, and meat dishes, along with seasonal side dishes, and fabulously innovative desserts in addition to classics like cheesecake! Nice pre dinner center bar for cocktails!
