   I would not recommend eating here. If you are staying on the property it is better to leave and find another restaurant. We made 8 pm reservations and showed up at 7:30. The restaurant was half-full so we asked to be seated early. We were informed that this could not be done and offered to wait at the bar. We were handed menus and were asked to go in. Odd to be given menus and then to seat yourself. Usually, the bartender will take care of that when you arrive to a seat. There were plenty of tables open, so we did not understand why we could not be seated. The bar chairs are old and falling apart. Seat cushions are more than "well-worn." We were taken to a table just before 8 pm and it turned out that the bartender was our waiter. This is fine, but why could we have not been seated earlier? The food, for the price, was not great and the service was far less than what you would expect. Skip this place. Better to get an uber and head to a real restaurant in the area.

   This is a nice golf club and the food is what one might expect at a cheap golf club. Eat here if you just finished golfing and you want an expensive meal. Do not go out of your way to eat here.

   Very relaxing ambiance and always consistently good food. Highly recommended when in this area of Orlando/Disney. Great for families.

   They were overbooked and understaffed. We had a 7PM reservation and weren’t seated until 7:40! Had to sit outside whereas our reservation was for inside. Our drink order arrived after our food came and the entree’s were served literally minutes after the app that we had. We felt bad for our waitress. There were only 3 of them on duty and it was a no win situation for them. The food was decent and the portions were good but that couldn’t overcome the many other problems, including getting our bill.

   Very average venue, food and service for a captive audience. But not surprised as Marriott’s brand has declined since the Japanese acquisition…..from a marquis brand to a run of the mill wanna be brand…..

   The food was great but they didn’t have enough servers. The bartender was also trying to cover some tables. Because of the lack of servers we ordered less drinks. It’s too bad the service level was limited because the chef made great food!

   Our reservation was for 11:00 a.m. we got to the restaurant at 10:52. The young lady told us that they quit serving breakfast and that they were transitioning over to lunch. She seated us. We didn't have anybody come to our table until 11:10 to take our drink order. The gentleman from the bar that took our drink order said that he would come back when they would start taking lunch orders at 11:15. It was 11:35 when we got up to leave. We paid the bill for an iced tea and a diet drink. Very disappointed with this restaurant. Also the decor is falling apart. Seats have holes and rips in them. This is unmarriott like just a total disappointment and a shame we will not be going back. Marriott needs to get their act together My wife and I have been owners with Marriott for over 20 years. This is not an isolated incident. This is a symptom of a bigger problem maintenance fees. Keep going up and the quality not only in this restaurant but in the resorts that I've been to keep going down

    Highly recommend, only reason 5 stars for overall is they desperately need more people. Food good and great, but medium burger was well done, wife's shrimp scampi perfect. There were two tables with low class parents on their phone while their kids dance to Tik Tok and loudly yell out how great the videos are, other running around. IT'S THE JOB OF THE RESTAURANT TO POLICE THIS. Still would recommend.
