    The reason for the four, I had a vegetarian dish that was not very good. I’m a regular customer so I know the quality of food Brent’s serves. I highly recommend this restaurant. They were also kind enough to take it off the bill.

    This was our first time dining at True Blue and our belated New Year celebration. A great way to kick off 2025. Everything was excellent. I had the Pretty in Pink cocktail , we split a shrimp cocktail, roasted potatoes and the oh so wonderful cauliflower soufflé. We both enjoyed the 6 ounce filet - cooked perfectly and had a great flavor! We finished with coffee and tried both the carrot cake and lemon police cake - both were very good. Service (Andrea) was helpful, attentive and very pleasant. Would highly recommend this restaurant for those special occasions.

    Food was great and service was excellent. Server suggested the Catch of the Day and it did not disappoint. We were a party of 5 and had reservations but some tables were available. Would recommend to anyone. Parking was easy- across the road.

    You wouldn't think there'd be a decent restaurant in a chain hotel, but this defies those perceptions. You're not there for ultra-fine dining, but the food is very good, the service was excellent, and expect a kid friendly environment considering this hotel serves families who are coming to the beach. The value is similar to other restaurants in the region, and would come with a solid recommendation to at least give it a try.
