The location is key. This is a wonderful place to have a meal, especially if you're staying at the resort. The menu is brief, but filled with enough delicious items to choose from. The terrace is especially nice: romantic, great ambiance, terrific light as sunset turns to night.
We loved that we could have our pups with us in the patio seating. They have excellent service, even brought a heating lamp next to us when it got chilly. The food was exceptional!!!

The Gardens of Avila Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience in a beautiful environment, making it an ideal spot for special occasions. The menu features delicious dishes such as cheese platters, Brussels sprouts, chicken with risotto, and perfectly cooked salmon with veggies and polenta. Guests can also enjoy breakfast items like the best eggs Benedict, praised for the freshness of the spinach and tomatoes from the restaurant's own garden. Pair meals with a craft beer or refreshing water. While the building has a musty smell, likely due to water damage and mold, the dining room remains gorgeous and well-maintained.
The restaurant is noted for its great ambiance and fresh, delicious food. Guests have enjoyed a cozy atmosphere with quiet tables near the fireplace, enhancing the dining experience. Although some have found the service to be slow and experienced challenges, such as cold fish that needed to be remade, others have praised the overall service as good. There have been mentions of a limited wine list and staff struggling with proper wine service, which detracted from some experiences. Despite these issues, the quality of the food, including the delightful chicken with risotto and perfectly cooked salmon, along with the overall atmosphere, make it a place worth visiting again.
