   The prices here are almost insulting. I worked in restaurants and recognized Sysco basic Angus burgers and battered fries on a 30 dollar hamburger. My wife's burger was overcooked as was my 40+ dollar pork chop that had to be less than 4 ounces with the bone and was about the same quality you'd get from a Vons. We even specified that the burger should be medium rare (came out med well) and the pork chop medium rare as well ( came out well done). I have zero issues paying for a good meal, and even understand if there was issues that day in the kitchen, but when you start with Applebee's level food quality, you'll never be able to justify half the prices they are charging.

   The food was amazing! The dishes were absolutely delicious. The crabcake was full of flavor, and the vegan pasta was fantastic. You do need to add the salmon, which comes separately for an additional charge of $20 for a slice to go on top of the pasta. The lavender cocktail was delightful—very flavorful—and the blueberry cocktail was also excellent. Upon our arrival, we got there a couple of minutes early and had to wait until our reservation time. The table we were seated at was a bit wobbly, and they had to come over to clean the area. One thing to note is that if you visit in the evening or afternoon, be aware that many hotel guests walk around the restaurant, which can be uncomfortable, though it’s not uncommon. At the end of our dinner, we paid our bill, but the only uncomfortable situation we encountered was with our waitress, who seemed dissatisfied with the amount of tip we left. While the service was good, it felt unprofessional for the restaurant to allow their waitstaff to approach customers about their tips or to ask for more. Overall, while the food and drinks were excellent, the service experience left something to be desired.

   Server was amazing under the consequences for it took almost 2 hours to get our food. Food was good unfortunately my meal came out cold my husband's was hot the manager did give us a complimentary appetizer. I believe they just were overwhelmed due to that it was Valentine's Day. Will try again

   We had a valentines dinner reservation . The ambience , live music , little touches for Valentine’s Day were lovely …The fixed price menu was $300/per couple (price was not posted on the menu we had to ask) which included 2 drinks but ordering off the regular menu was much better value. Salad and entrees were very good although I thought $35 for a vegetable pasta dish overpriced . We were very disappointed in the strawberry pastry dessert . There was no strawberry filling and it was deep friend so you taste the oil. Our server could see that there was absolutely no strawberry filling in the one we received and she offered to replace it but we didn’t like that it was deep fried, perhaps the strawberry came out in the cooking process, she very kindly took it off our menu. Definitely a lovely atmosphere. It’s a beautiful hotel and if the prices are within your budget, you will most likely enjoy.

   Such a beautiful hotel and restaurant. Fish options were not available which is why we wanted to try Ox & Ocean. They mentioned they didn't receive their shipment. We live at the beach, management could have sourced these options from a local supplier. We opted for other menu options. Presentation and flavor were amazing however my steak was cooked med well instead of med rare. It was a quiet evening but food and service took a long time. It was worth a try but may not be my first choice to take friends or family. I will give it another try in the future. We all deserve a second chance.

    We came here because we were staying at the hotel to celebrate my husbands birthday. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow and the food took over and hour to come out. I would’ve understood this but the food was not good at all and some of it wasn’t what was described on the menu. It was very disappointing, especially for the high price.
