Tanglewood- A Southern Kitchen

I ordered the Shrimp and Grits for dinner. There is no resemblance to the traditional flavors of this meal. The shrimp were cooked perfectly but they sat atop, what I would describe, as a bland purple rice pilaf. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken only lasted halfway through the sandwich before all that was left was the breading. My daughter's buttered noodles were flavorless. The bread and trio of complimentary butters were delicious.

We enjoyed the breakfast at the Hyatt Regency the day we had a conference at the resort. My son and I to have breakfast early and it was great. We ordered the Avocado Toast, Omelette and Country Breakfast. The service was fast and the food was great. It’s a bit expensive but overall it’s a very nice breakfast.

We went back for a second time the following day and had a similar experience. Great food and great people!!

Immediately seated upon arrival. Water and drink requests came within minutes. Appetizers, including gluten free, arrived quickly. Then after a short time dinner orders came out of the kitchen. The food, and there was a variety, was excellent. Given plenty of time to eat and relax until a dessert request was made. Overall, a very nice dining experience.

Fantastic Dining Experience – Highly Recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of dining here and I have to say, it was a truly delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right blend of elegance and comfort.

The ALLIGATOR JAMBALAYA was a burst of flavor, clearly prepared with passion and attention. Everything was cooked to perfection. The Espresso martini from ALEX @ Mangroves bar was out of this world!

But what truly set this visit apart was the exceptional service. Our server, MYLA was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made me feel welcome. I dined alone, which can be anxiety provoking but she anticipated my needs without being intrusive, made excellent menu recommendations, and ensured my glass was never empty. It’s rare to find a team so dedicated to creating a memorable dining experience.

If you’re looking for a place with great food and service that makes you feel like a valued guest, Tanglewood should be at the top of your list. I can’t wait to return!

May 4, 2025: I have never walked out of a restaurant in my life, but we did so at the Tanglewood. We arrived on time yet were asked to wait 20 minutes despite a fairly empty restaurant. We were promptly seated when we returned only to sit at our table another 20 minutes before our server finally greeted us apologizing with menus and waters. Another 20 minutes passed before her return with some bread and a promise she would be back in a few minutes to take our order. That was the last we saw of her or anyone. When the table closest to us (who arrived when we got our bread) got their meals we had enough and got up and left. We waited for over an hour and never even placed our order. There was no manager or hostess at the desk, nor did anyone stop by even after we asked another waitress for help. For the reputation the Hyatt has. this is embarrassing, worst service we have ever encountered.

Took my mom and my daughter there for Mother's Day, nice buffet wonderful service my server Edward was amazing. Some other assistance was very helpful.

This was our first time at this Buffet, and it was amazing. The staff was outstanding, and the food was great and fresh. We will definitely be back!

Dined here during a recent stay at the Hyatt. Kids enjoyed the chicken tenders and grilled cheese. Everything else was alright. Bread basket was delicious and main courses very good. Service was okay but ordered a couple of standard drinks (vodka martini, espresso martini) and waitress sounded confused. We don't live in the area so probably won't be back but not sure if we would return anyways. Most memorable part is the cornbread muffins.

Our servers were excellent, the food over the top and the attention from Collette was superb. Our go to place for special occasions. Thank you!

We enjoyed the Easter Brunch Extravaganza and it was amazing! We are not typically buffet people but the spread was extensive, fresh and amazing. The service by Edward and Silvia was attentive and prompt. We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch.

The food and atmosphere at Tanglewood was disappointing. Definitely not on par with other Hyatt Regency restaurants we have experienced. Breakfast was much better than dinner.

We are guests at the Hyatt Coconut Point Resort & actually found this to be our favorite restaurant at the hotel. We enjoyed the southern-themed menu, from corn bread & molasses butter to the key lime pie dessert. Our portions were tasty & plentiful. Service was polite & efficient. We also enjoyed the option of sitting outside on the covered dining area.

Food was bad and service was bad too. Beautiful patio but wouldn't recommend for dinner/food

Calm quiet place for lunch with gorgeous views. Nice menu choices. We dined out on the porch area. Lovely.

We really enjoyed our meal! The breadbasket was yummy, and had mini corn muffins and maple butter. For dinner, I had the fresh catch, and it was so moist and delicious! My husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich very much. Very nice dessert selection as well!
