The food was fresh, flavorful, and there was something for everyone to enjoy. Even better, it was great spending quality time together and sharing a delicious meal. A wonderful dining experience with good food, good company, and great memories! ** Highly recommended for a casual and satisfying buffet lunch!

The…read morerestaurant was very busy, which meant the food was constantly being replenished and was always fresh and hot. There was a great selection with plenty of variety and something for everyone, making it a good choice for the whole family. The price was reasonable for the quality and amount of food offered. The décor was also very nice, including a koi fish pond that added to the atmosphere. My only suggestion would be to add a few hand-sanitizer stations throughout the buffet area, especially since it is so large and serves so many guests.

For supper, they offer an array of shrimp, crab, oysters, and mussels. With all the standards. The mushrooms always get my attention, and the fried rice is a winner. Our server came by our table and told us she couldn't remember which one was a Diet Coke and a regular. That was a first for me. This place has so many serving areas that it would be impossible to taste everything offered. An interesting challenge for someone is to come over multiple times to sample all their dishes.

First off, they are flexible in terms of not everyone at the table has to get the same choice. If one person only wants hot pot, while everyone else wants both, that's fine. Pricing is decent and competitive. Worth the price tag. We are typically hot pot people but I must say with this restaurant, I think I favored the KBBQ more. There were plenty of bbq options including butter shrimp, bulgogi, pork belly and short ribs. I loved it all! You can also ask the server for white rice and they will bring it to your table. The hot pot options were great as well. I enjoyed the rolled fatty beef, the crabs, and the many options that were going around on the conveyer belt. They had a variety of broth options. My partner loved the spicy option. We will definitely be back!

What a fantastic experience at a local restaurant…read more I have to admit, we expected a bar food experience but that is not the case. The menu is extensive with a lot of seafood options. They have specials based on the local catch, which was hogfish that day. It was amazing. Macadamia crusted with a mango salsa, cheesy risotto and asparagus. The fish was perfectly cooked and all the flavors were great. Our server, Kara, was very friendly. It was later in the night so we got to ask for recommendations and discussed the local scene. Inside is very nice with an open concept. Overall, very good and we will be back.

A Standout Oriental Buffet We were making a shopping trip to…read moreCostco and as we were turning into the Costco lot, we saw a sign for this restaurant across the street. We finished our shopping, got in the car, read a few reviews for Jing Du and said 'Let's give it a try.' Glad we did. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has both booths and tables. The adult Lunch Buffet is $14.99 and runs from 11:00 to 3:45. As with so many of the oriental buffets, we had to walk around and get familiar with what was offered before focusing on particulars. There is an Hibachi grill where you can assemble your ingredients and Mr. Hibachi will cook it for you. The sushi bar is impressive. I am not a real sushi person so I'm not sure if it's all legit, but the few pieces I took tasted very good. I found it helpful to have signs above the offerings to get an idea of what was there. All of the stations are just loaded with foods. I happen to be a Hot and Sour Soup fan and I found their soup to be one of the best I have ever had. Really good. I also found the fish to be quite tasty. A mild, flaky whitefish, maybe tilapia or basa, in a broth with light soy sauce and something else. I enjoyed this fish very much. The peel and eat cold shrimp were good, but the cocktail sauce was the best. Nice strong horseradish kicked up the shrimp. One notable item was the pork egg rolls. Most buffets have these small rolls with a few shreds of veggies and not much flavor. These gems actually had pork and veggies in them and were delicious. We tried many items and most everything was good. They have a few dessert items and there is a freezer case with a variety of ice cream. We will definitely go back and bring our daughter who is sushi person so she can evaluate it. The Dinner Buffet is $18.99 and includes snow crab legs. This restaurant is all you can eat, but please eat all you take and not waste food.

It's not the highest-end quality you'll find, but for the price, you absolutely get your money's worth. The sushi selection was surprisingly strong, with a great mix of traditional rolls and more unconventional options I hadn't tried before. I especially appreciated the number of cooked rolls available for anyone hesitant about raw fish. The crab legs were very good, though they were served cold -- I would have loved the option to have them hot. Still, for a buffet setting, they were a solid offering. They also had a variety of Japanese favorites, including one of my personal staples: octopus balls (takoyaki), which I was happy to see included. Overall, it's a fun, filling spot that's definitely worth a visit if you're looking for variety and value.

Our family was excited to experience the new Margaritaville in Fort Myers Beach. We are Floridians,…read morefrom the other coast, and we have always enjoyed FMB, which is only a few hours away. Upon arriving, we were told that a luggage cart was only available through a bellhop service. They only offer valet, as a side note. When we checked in, we did receive a complimentary margarita, but no smiles or warmth. This carried on throughout the weekend; none of the staff seemed pleased to be there, and only one of them even smiled back or said hello. The room was clean and new, and the theming is on point. It is a beautiful place and as a PH, I truly enjoyed the music and the decor. Everything is so Margaritaville -- colors, music, theme. All 10/10. When it came to restaurant staff, we had the opposite experience and everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our time at the downstairs bar and at the JWB, which is more of an upscale dining experience with a beautiful view of the beach. The pool does not open until 9am, but we brought our own tent and chairs because we were researched and knew that the public beach is right next to the resort. This was the best move we could have made! Highly recommend if you're driving and can bring your own beach supplies. I do believe that you can have a complimentary umbrella and 2 chairs as an overnight guest, but we were pleased to be able to have our own space. The other thing worth mentioning is that you cannot bring food or drink into the pool area -- not even from their own restaurant/bar. I purchased lunch from the downstairs restaurant and as I was waiting to bring it to the beach, I was told that I could not bring my drink into the pool area right next door. It's all one resort, and organization, but I assume they are worried about people bringing their own cocktails in the cups they provide. There should be an option to show your receipt or at least people should be aware of that before they spend $15 plus on a drink at a POOL/ BEACH BAR. I would say that we had a great experience because we were with family and the beach is stunning regardless of where you stay. The weather in July is touch and go, so we were blessed with mostly clear days. Would I recommend a stay here? No. I think that there are many other places with the same view and a similar experience, and we felt like we were charged for every little thing, plus the unfriendly staff. Even as we were checking out and making several trips to our vehicle, housekeeping kept trying to enter our room (before check out) no matter how many times I explained we were still working on moving out.

It was gross. Valet took forever due to them being open to the public so hotel guests are not the priority unfortunately. Honestly the bad outweighed the good. Resort is overpriced and not as nearly as clean as other reviews said. Rooms are nice though. Unable to use balcony due to people smoking. The beach is nice. IMO it's not worth the money, especially if you want a smoke free vacation resort. Beware, there's a quiet section by the pool but no staff likes to work it because they think you're not spending money. We had to go to bar for service. Oh, the gym is nice too. So it's not all bad, just mostly. Food was meh. We left the property to eat better quality food. My expectations were not met, that's for sure.

**Der Dutchman -- Sarasota, FL**…read more The bakery counter alone is worth the stop. Case after case of donuts done right -- peach cake donuts, glazed honey buns, long johns in vanilla, chocolate, and caramel, plus apple and peach fritters that look like they were dropped in the fryer an hour ago. The muffin case is just as deep: lemon poppyseed, blueberry, raisin bran, streusel-topped, all in tall paper wraps. Past the bakery it turns into a proper Amish country market. Shelves of fresh wheat bread and dinner rolls, jars of their own apple butter, bulk candy by the pound in wicker baskets -- Mary Janes, butterscotch disks, Tootsie Rolls, jaw breakers -- and a Florida salt water taffy section for the tourists. The coffee wall has bulk bins and bagged roasts from Fresh Cup of Hope and local Sarasota Coffee & Tea. Clean, well-stocked, and generously staffed. Come hungry and bring a bag.

The managers were so attentive and every time we passed by checked in on us to see what activities we had done or suggest new activities for us to do. We loved the kayaking and paddle boards - also rented jet skis 2 separate days. Getting day passes for additional guests was super easy. Love the ease of the bracelets doing everything, being the key, room charge, proof we belong - super easy for everyone to keep track Of! The complimentary breakfast was "ok" nothing spectacular, but still decent. The guy who collected the towels by the pool (seemed like a manager/lead) was rude every single day - to the point we waited to take our towels back a few times to avoid another interaction. We will definitely be back!

The entire area was clean, right on the beach, and the staff was friendly everywhere we went. The resort offers a ton of amenities: free kayaks, bikes, paddleboards, lounge chairs, and umbrellas. They also have paid options like fishing charters and other nearby excursions. There are three pools total -- two family pools and one adults‑only pool -- plus a couple of hot tubs. Our room was amazing. We were on the first floor with a perfect view of the beach. The adults‑only pool was right in front of our balcony, so we could relax, listen to the music, or join the trivia games happening throughout the day. The room itself was spacious and included a kitchenette with a stove, which made it easy to cook if we wanted to. You can stay busy here or do absolutely nothing -- we chose the "chill" route. There are two restaurants and a bar on the property, but if you want more options, you can walk about 15-30 minutes (rough estimate) or drive 2 mins (fyi paid parking) to the main strip with plenty of shops and restaurants. The front desk also told us about a trolley that runs for $0.75 each way or $2.00 for an all‑day pass. Everything was close by, we didn't get in our car until it was time to head home. We'll definitely be coming back. It's a little on the pricier side, but with everything included -- and probably more that I'm forgetting -- it's absolutely worth it.
