A Fantastic Brunch Experience at Jack O’Neill Restaurant & Lounge Our large group recently had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Jack O’Neill Restaurant & Lounge, and it was just fabulous! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and seated with a breathtaking view of the water—truly one of the highlights of this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully presented and packed with flavor. Whether it was the classic brunch staples or more unique offerings, everything exceeded our expectations. The cocktails were another standout—expertly crafted and perfectly balanced, making for a delightful complement to our meal. Accommodating a large group can sometimes be challenging, but the service was attentive, friendly, and seamless. It’s rare to find a place that delivers on all fronts: great food, fantastic drinks, stunning views, and excellent service. If you're looking for a top-tier brunch spot with a spectacular setting, Jack O’Neill Restaurant & Lounge is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

This is our favorite restaurant and we always return for important celebratory events. Last night, every single food item we ordered was off the charts delicious. Nancy was a lovely waitress who was also enjoyable to chat with. The only wrinkle in our experience was that our table was not ready for us despite having a reservation, so we had to wait. But it is Valentine's Day weekend and was a busy evening at Cafe Cruz. We had a lovely evening and a fabulous meal!

Incredible food and top-notch service! The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. Paella Negra was a standout—flavorful and beautifully presented. The ambiance was cozy & elegant at the same time which is perfect for celebrations Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back!

We stayed at the resort and went to the restaurant for our anniversary. Shoutout to the host! She was super sweet and professional (we didn’t catch her name unfortunately) its nice to meet someone with vreat personality. Our server andrew was super nice too! The best customer service i’ve ever had! We got the bone in short ribs, and burger for entree. We liked the burger more, also we ordered a calamari for an appetizer it was the best calamari we ever had!! Definitely will come back there
