    Excellent restaurant! High quality and flavorful food – a bit pricey, but it is a resort hotel restaurant. Excellent dishes are the scallops, chicken, skuna bay salmon, and filet mignon. The salads are really nice and I’m not a real salad eater. They make a dynamite, bacon cheeseburger and fries. Nice wine List. The servers, Elena and Dzenana really make the experience worthwhile! Friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional.

    We went on the spur of the moment. Just wanted light fare and the restaurant filled the bill. The menu seems to have been abbreviated since we were here last. But it is a hotel restaurant and it covers most of the bases for us.

    Breakfast was excellent with made to order omelets and delicious fresh fruit. Lots of sweet carbs to indulge in as well. Delicious start to the day.

    Lovely dining on patio as the boats went by. Nice selection of cocktails and wine. Salmon and scallops were delicious. Our server was courteous and allowed us to take our time.

    With the JW Marriott name attached to this restaurant, we thought it would be an upper-level dining experience. There was live music, which was REALLY loud, other guests were present with crying babies, and the delivery time for our orders was extremely long, even with the drinks. Maybe the service was short-staffed for the amount of guests? Regardless, we probably won't be visiting this restaurant again. The food was plentiful and tasty, though!

    First time we've tried the Sat buffet. Outstanding meal and value. The prime rib was especially wonderful.
