The most beautiful place to have lunch on a sunny day. Views of lagoon and golf course from the terrace dining. Very attentive and personal service. Wonderful menu options. A perfect way to spend the afternoon❤️

Always worried these places are over hyped. This one wasn't! All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Great food, great service, great location! We dined outside on their balcony. They have a beautiful view of the lagoon! They also have heat lamps if the weather is chilly.

Food was creative especially the beet and pear salad. At lunch the burger seemed over salted. Service started out well but once food arrived our server disappeared for long periods of time.

Restaurant Week selections were a real deal. Upscale menu selections and service but in a comfortable setting. We will definitely go again!

Diana

Calimari was superb. Szechwan chicken was spicy hot as advertised. Sorry a great sandwich was accompanied by French fries like take-out drive ins. Service was really great.

Marie

Absolutely delicious, beautiful view and outstanding service. My husband and I were blown away. Another great Richard Blais restaurant

Julia

A bit of a wait even though we had a reservation. The food was great. The service was fantastic. We will definitely come here next time we are in town!

Arrived on time but had to wait 15 minutes for table- not long, but nonetheless had to wait and there were tables available. The dining area was VERY LOUD so it was difficult to have a conversation! I had placed in the reso my wife's BD but I had to remind the server. Our server was Matt whose EXCELLENT service kinda made up for the LOUD ENVIRONMENT.

Janet

Fantastic dinner from the burrata quince salad appetizer to the crab and lobster bucatini. The pear and hibiscus pavlova was divine.

My wife ordered the salmon and the puréed potatoes. I ordered the boneless aged ribeye and the beet salad. Both were outstanding....But that was about the food. Let me tell you about the experience. I do very well in life, all praise to God, and I eat at the best steakhouses wherever I go. Coast to coast and Europe. I've been to all the so-called “best rated/reviewed” steakhouses, that have the best variety of steaks and other goodies. That have the best reputations and the fanciest decor and all that fluff and stuff. But NONE are operationally perfect with their kitchen execution. Every single steakhouse I've been to there's always one slip up somewhere... And, I'm very picky on the way I like my steak. I like Pittsburgh “plus” generally. I ordered a boneless ribeye from Ember and Rye, and it came out medium unfortunately. I wasn't very happy since my wife's salmon came out perfect and she was able to be an eating and I wasn't. But! In life I'm not about mistakes, it's all about the recovery from them. The second steak was brought out and let me tell you, it might've been the best Pittsburgh plus steak I've ever had in my life. Also, they cooked these steaks on a true Santa Maria grill. If you're not familiar with that style of cooking over embers, often times that style grilling does not get the best sear. Even though it gets a good cook throughout the steak, I like a nice char as well. This Chef was absolutely perfect on the second steak. Charred perfectly and the inside was warm red. Not overly medium. Absolutely perfect steak. So when you go out of town and you're going out to dinner for a nice steak and you have expectations that are high. Every once in a while, you'll get a disappointment. And it's not so much about that as it is about the recovery of the restaurant. And then the customer service that follows. They actually took my steak off of my bill. I did not expect that. And they didn't have to do that. Yes it is an inconvenience when you're not

Seated outside by the 28th green overlooking the Batiquitos Lagoon. Nice selection of drinks and a varied menu. Wagyu beef was first rate. We'll be back!

I went to the restaurant today to book a table for two for Christmas. I didn't order anything but will update when I do. I'm impressed with the beautiful setting and atmosphere.

Additionaly, kudos to the hotel for hiring Jenna at the host table. She was so accommodating, polite and genuinely nice. Showed me around and helped me pick and save the best table for my dinner for two. Thanks Jenna!

Atmosphere: 5

First time here and it was better than anticipated. Everything we had was quite delicious. Nothing necessarily mind-blowing, yet everything was solid.
