    Grouper and risotto
    Jenette S.

    Never totally full for dinner so we know we're ok with the kiddos. The food is always yummy and we get friendly servers. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It was all tasty and they had a lot of dessert to try as well.

    Excellent service. We love coming here for thanksgiving. They have a prix fixed menu. We all chose the lobster bisque to start. For the main course My brother chose the traditional turkey dinner and the rest of us ordered the prime rib. It was incredibly best one I've ever had. Juicy and tender meat. And the mascarpone mashed potatoes were a great accompaniment. For desserts were great we got pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate bomb, and pineapple upside cake with coconut ice cream. The later was my absolute favorite. The coconut ice cream was so flavorful. The decor was perfect for thanksgiving with orange and yellow flowers and gourds on the table.

    The first night's NY strip, what's left of the capes salad and the bread. DON'T miss the bread!!!

    This may be the most deeply underrated restaurant I've ever been to- I'm so confused. Staying for a conference (which usually means you're held captive by the hotel kitchen for days on end and just hoping to not go to bed hungry or wake up with food poisoning.) Not this place. The marketing team at the hotel severely missed the opportunity to highlight this restaurant and its executive chef. First night I ate here exhausted from travel. I thought they were closed because there was only one other group in the restaurant. The device was five star- I practically had my own waiter. I had the burata caprese because I will always get it if it's on a menu. There types of fresh, chilled, flavorful tomatoes and creamy burratta. Omg. Yes. Waiter casually mentions do you want bread- sure. I've learned one my second trip back- YES - you absolutely want the bread. It's amazing. The perfect mix of flavor soft and light on the inside white just enough texture on the crust to hold up sprinkled with cheese. I'm told by tonight's waiter it's apparently one of the chef's particular talents with study of pizzas and such. It shows. He gets textures very well. For my meal I had the ny strip. Hate me all you want but as a traveler I have to get it well tone safe. Both times it's been juicy, flavorful, not tough, delicious. The broccolini was beautiful fresh green with that tough of garlic and the air gratin potatoes are not what you'd expect- think casserole/ratatouille but all potato. Amazing. Tonight I made it to dessert. A pineapple upside down cake with vanilla ice cream. It's not what you're expecting. It's better. Remember back to the starting with the bread. The chef shows how he has mastered that texture- crispy outside of the cake like it sizzled on a skillet and soft light spongy inside. Not dry. Not too dense. Cherries that didn't come out of a jar after being bleached to an unnatural color and flavor. Vibrant and a nice pairing with the creamy ice cream. I don't know who dropped the ball not talking about this place but I feel like I stumbled upon a secret.

    The resort put a lot of effort into this Bistro. It is well put together, very clean, and beautiful. The service was excellent and servers were patient with our large group. The food was top notch. Well prepared meals and beautiful to look at. I think you would enjoy this place after spending the day on the beach. Excellent restaurant, service, and food! Come check them out!

    Decided to eat here since I'm staying at the Sheraton. I'm never one to eat at the hotel restaurant but I was blown away at how good the food was here. I initially thought I would get couple appetizers, salad and the bisque. The server comes by and says there is a special and she said it was fresh pasta with basil cream sauce and crispy pork belly and shrimp. She highly recommended it so we said we will do that, salad and bisque and will share it all. Salad was good, dressing was slightly sweet with the tart. It had some good greens but not the typical lettuce. Then there was oranges, grapefruit and strawberries with the sweet nuts. I really enjoyed this salad. The bisque was good but too salty for my taste. My husband enjoyed it. I don't cook with much salt at home. Then the main event. The pasta just perfectly cook, the pork belly crispy like a Korean bbq. The shrimp was good but I fell in love with the pork belly. The sauce was cream sauce vs like an Alfredo sauce which has cheese. It was Percy for me as I don't like cheese. Super amazing special!

    Somewhat surprisingly, quite good. Not perfect but well worth the meal during a crowded spring break. We started with the Risotto balls which were crispy and full of cheesy goodness. Also the olives were a surprise hit with a dash of meat and fried. For the main dishes, the steak frosted was a great value and well prepared (and mostly tender). The crab cake and filet was a huge hit. Great crab cake without too much filler. The tagliatelle Al Tartufo was pretty good too with mushrooms and tenderloin. It was just missing one thing: tagliatelle pasta. Instead it seemed to come with a spaghetti or angel hair with no explanation. The same with the seafood version of it. Weird and kinda disappointing since I love a good tagliatelle. The desserts were also mostly good. The key lime creek brûlée is a stand out without being too tart or sweet. The bread pudding was loved by my dining companion. The vanilla ice cream and caramel certainly made it but I found it lacking on the bread itself which felt just over cooked to me. Service was solid and food came out quickly. Decor inside is nondescript and kinda disappointing in a hotel sort of way. But would I comeback again? Yep. The food was much better than I expected.

    Rusty's solid dinner service here with Steak Frites and Pappardelle Bolognese! Both were great meals! Today we are eating breakfast at Rusty's and food was fantastic again the Southern Benedict- buttermilk biscuit, whole hog maple sausage and Cajun Hollandaise Sauce Yummy! The Grand Marnier French Toast, the Pancakes and the Simple breakfast were also great! Everyone satisfied and happy easy 5 Stars !!

    We ordered the super green salad, half rib with rice, and kid's burger with fries, along with a virgun Pina colada. Everything tasted amazing, surprisingly. The ribs were perfectly seasoned, sweet, juicy, tender and melt in your mouth. The salad was ok, could have added more stuff, because it looked half empty. The kids burger was the bomb, perfectly cooked, fries tasted great, my son loved it. And the virgin Pina colada was the star of the night. Service was excellent, we ordered it to dine outdoor and the food came out within 15 mins.

    Usually hotel restaurants aren't anything special.. but this is a HUGE exception. If Rusty's was back where we're from, my wife and I would be frequent visitors. I would put it up there as the second best restaurant I've been to, all while maintaining reasonable prices for the food you get. I ordered the Grouper while my wife ordered the Steak and Crab Cake. To me, walleye is by far the best fish you can eat, BUT this dish was a very close second. The sauce drizzled on the fish and greens is delicious. As for my wife's dish, she said very well could have sent the steak knife back to the chef. Overall, great atmosphere and great service. The staff and our waitress in particular were extremely friendly and food was just as pleasant. We can't wait to stop back for more.

Their menu had some decent options and they were willing to work with us to provide lower carb options. Three stand out servers to mention: Cass & Jason and Kimi. These three were rockstars and made our stay so good! They earned the triple digit tips and were much appreciated! Conversely, and the reason I dropped a star, was Omar. He was a terrible server that was more interested in picking up on the young ladies around the pool than doing his job as a server. If you find yourself in his section consider moving or just go to the bar and get your own food and drinks. He is the sorriest excuse for a server on the planet. He completely ignored my wife and I. We had to come to him to order, not the other way around. At first the bar told us we had to order from him, but I pressed the issue and Brandon let me open a new tab with them. Less convenient, but way better service than Omar. A stand out moment was on Thursday, when they ran out of Deep Eddy Lemon. Cass ensured there was a new bottle the following morning. Likewise on Saturday, they ran out of Deep Eddy Lemon once again. Jason asked if there was any other vodka that would work. I said something to the effect of "no thanks.... I'll just pass." I think he moved mountains to locate another bottle on premises keeping the vacation and vibes flowing. Much appreciation Cass & Jason! Kimi didn't move mountains for us, but she was regularly there for us. On time, on target.

We were seated as soon as we arrived, and throughout our visit the service was really good. My friend and I were having a very hard time deciding, and when we asked the server, she flat out told us that the two things we were torn between were awesome and we should order both and split them. We got the shrimp and grits and the lobster Benedict. On their own, the grits weren't anything special, although they were texturally great. Now when you add the shrimp and gravy . . . This dish is a whole other deal. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was super well balances. It had the perfect level of spice. The lobster Benedict had a perfectly poached egg, and it worked so well. The mornay sauce was a lovely touch. I'd definitely order it again, but I would also definitely order the shrimp again. Long story short, our server was right, they were both amazing. I also got a standard Bloody Mary, which was solid. I would definitely go back to this place. It's got an upbeat, family friendly atmosphere, and I think it's a great spot for locals and out of towners alike. It's also well priced. I'd also love to try their beignets or French toast next time. They've also got a huge lunch/dinner menu that I'd definitely want to try if I were in town for longer.

Ambience was like your regular breakfast place or diner, but definitely family friendly. We were there with our 8 month old baby boy and felt comfortable. Food tasted pretty okay, we ordered coconut shrimp, fish n chips and chicken tacos for brunch! The fish was a little undercooked and the batter was still a bit wet inside. Other items were not bad. For drinks, I ordered their popular pomegranate mimosa which came really flat (no bubblies) and in a wine glass! I sent it back and got a mojito instead - which tasted a lot better! Additionally, we were not aware the breakfast menu closes at 12 pm and we were already seated, so kind of felt obligated to order from the lunch menu at around 12.05 pm! It was too early for a sea food lunch for us! We saw the table next to us had ordered breakfast just a few minutes before us but we were denied because it was already past noon. Overall a pretty average experience. I was expecting a little more authentic experience but turned out to be just like your local diner.
