    Overall nice experience. Food is varied and anyone should be able to find something they like. Service was not what I’d have expected. Just not really sure if they were too thin or what. Attention was lacking. Slow clearings and refills.

    Would not recommend. When we walked in we noticed quite a few tables were leaving their food untouched and quickly found out why. The food was generally not good. My husband's steak was not medium rare. The waiter didn’t know what oysters Galvez was. My snapper was supposed to have sump cramp meat on it, but only had a few shreds and some tiny boiled shrimp. A few steamed green beans and parboiled rice. It was not good. The lighting is weirdly like a cafeteria and they are pumping way too much of their hotel scent into the restaurant area. At the end of our meal we had to chase down someone to pay the bill. We stay almost exclusively at Bonvoy hotels and are usually very happy with the restaurants, but we will not be staying at this hotel again

    The seafood platter my husband had was delicious and the shrimp and grits that I had was scrumptious!! And the key lime pie was as also very good! Our server, Sara, made sure we had everything - kept our water glasses filled, kept checking on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. She did a fantastic job!

    How was the Galvez lunch? EXPENSIVE and not as varied as the one at Thanksgiving. Wish we hadn't gone.
