The restaurant was busy. We were not greeted in a welcoming way and the service was slow . We were not provided drinks or greeted for about 30 minutes. It's very loud and hard to have a conversation. The food was good , but I expected it to be better . Wouldn't recommend to anyone .

Reservations at 7. Arrived at 6:50pm. Hostess took several minutes to acknowledge our party of 4. Once acknowledged, I gave my last name. Hostess said OK. Nothing happened for 10 minutes. Hosted then approached me and asked, “Is your name down?” I reminded her that I had provided my last name when we arrived, and she acknowledged our reservation. Several minutes went by and another party of 4 with a 7pm reservation, was seated. This party arrived after us. When there was no apparent movement towards provided our reserved table, I asked her when we would be seated, she replied that she had no reservation for us. I offered to show her my reservation confirmation on my phone (the reservation had been made more than a week in advance) and she literally “waived” at me and said it was not necessary. Miraculously, she directed us to a table. With no apology for the issue that we had a 7pm reservation and we were not seated until close to 7:30. Failed to recognize our arrival check in and then insulted us by declaring that we had not made a reservation.... this was a poor first day at Tween Waters.

We were unable to dine due to the restaurant being closed even though we had a reservation for this time frame

Very pleasant casual place and would recommend it to any friend or family member - overall very well done for a relaxing casual dinning experience that fit perfectly with our island time retreat

Dawn

Our server was very attentive and great but the food was just mediocre. The short rib grilled cheese was bland. The crab cakes were very fried instead of sautéed. We expected more from a restaurant at Tween waters resort.

Arrived 30 min before our reservation & they seated us right away! 4 adults, 2 kids - everyone ordered something different & all were delish. The grouper Reuben & rib grilled cheese sandwiches were BIG! Meatloaf tasty & margarita pizza very good. Recommend the key lime martini!

Our server, Nikki, was the absolute best. They need to print new menus as the salmon dish says both soy and no soy.

Service was pleasant and adequate. The food lacked something in presentation and quality, although my crab cakes were quite nice. The sides were decidedly unappetizing, particularly the Mexican rice covered with black bean “goo”. If you're looking for the basics and you're hungry, this will do. But it doesn't distinguish itself

Drinks were good, shrimp appetizer was good, and service was good. We both had steak frites - the steak was perfectly cooked. The veges had no seasoning on them and were crunchy. The fries were okay.

Service is good, nice, somewhat attentive. Meatloaf drenched in below par marinara. Grouper also overdrenched, too sweet, not sure if rice was attempted to be cooked or just thrown raw on the plate. Breakfast ok, potatoes lukewarm, bacon cooked 3 hours before.

Nice dinner! Beautiful view of Gulf. Especially liked Calamari appetizer and great cocktails!

John

Service was subpar. Food was good but the lack of service made the experience poor. Will not return.

Christine

Positive things first, service was excellent, crab cakes were great and our drinks were top notch. Negatives, queso dip was not smooth or hot, burgers were frozen patties, I wouldn't go back, not up to tween water's standards.

Very disappointed in the quality of food. The breakfast menu looks great with a lot of unusual selections but the actual food was not. I ordered the Grand Marnier French Toast. It was basically a regular French toast with no trace of a Grand Marnier or orange flavor. My side of chicken apple sausage was overcooked and dry. My husband ordered the Seafood Sauage Omelet. When he first tasted it, he called the manager over because he thought they had served him the wrong omelet. It had absolutely no seafood flavor. It was primarily eggs with spinach and very dry. Also his side of potatoes was tough and rubbery. It seemed like all of the food was prepared ahead and reheated when ordered. Disappointing for a restaurant at such a beautiful resort as Tween Waters.
