Went here with family and the happy hour apps and drinks were amazing! The nachos, pretzels and pizza were all on point. The nephew said it was the best kids cheeseburger and fries ever! It was very busy with a party going on, so we had a confusing start but I have to say the evening was great!Kid-friendliness: They made my nephew feel very welcome.they even made him laugh

The atmosphere is fine dining with a Nascar and Racing vibe. The Resteraunt is on the 2nd floor of the Daytona One Hotel. I highley suggest you make a reservation as seating is limited. Their banquet rooms host many VIP events that cater to the Stars and Musical talents! The Daytona International Speedway is within golf cart and walking distance. The Menu tantelilizes your taste buds with everything from Wings and Pretzels to Gormet signature dishes and signature cocktails made with Moonshine. Inside outside bar and service is superb! I recommend taking the family to celebrate special events. Also a great place for a romantic anniversary or 1st date dinner with that special person in your life.

Took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day. Service was great, atmosphere above average, but I ordered the seafood campanelle with clams, shrimp, octopus and pasta, and at least half the bites that I took contained broken pieces of clamshell in them, which was impossible to detect before crunching down and almost breaking a tooth on them. I should have sent it back, but didn’t. Expect better from a $100 meal for two.

The wait staff had to be asked to fill water glasses or wine glasses. The waiter was sweating profusely when he came to take our order. Servers were friendly but slow and there were so many standing around. If one waiter is busy, they should help or look out for one anothers tables.

The food was fantastic. However the servers at the bar never even looked at us when we sat at the bar. Didn't even make eye contact and say 'I'll be right with you". The hostess was a bit overwhelmed because our table was not ready because people were staying too long, but she was really sweet and totally made up for it in personality! Overall we really liked it. The electronic violin was a little cheesy. I think some cool jazz or something in the back ground would be more appropriate.

This was our first time there and we were hoping for a nice experience since we decided to try it out for their Valentine's Day event. The restaurant itself was a nice enough area and was clean. We were seated at a table that wasn't necessarily ideal since it was right behind the service area where only a very sheer curtain acted as a barrier. It was a bit distracting with all the comings and goings of the staff. Our waiter was nice but felt we were more at a chain restaurant like Applebees rather than at a more exclusive restaurant which their advertisements suggested. The food arrived and unfortunately it did not get any better. We ordered the special for the event which was a filet mignon and it was about the most tasteless piece of steak I have ever eaten. Absolutely no seasoning at all and was cooked too long. It was dry with no juices but I will say it was tender. Neither one of us finished it since it was so bland. The dessert was the only thing I can honestly say we enjoyed which was a piece of cheesecake with strawberries. This experience cost us $190 and that does not include the glasses of wine we had during our dinner. If you're looking for a more upscale dining experience, this is not it.

The restaurant is very nice, fun, and convenient in Daytona - if you want to avoid the beach crowd. Better signage in the first floor lobby would be helpful. We ordered a salad which was not delivered, no problem on the bill - just we wanted it. The food was very good - not absolutely wonderful, but better than 80% of the hotel restaurants you find. The space is fun with Daytona 500 cars. The servers are very attentive, but not over the top. Prices are reasonable for a nice restaurant. It is a good option if you are near the Speedway and want to avoid the national big brand restaurants. I suspect that lunch is great, and will go back to try it.

Food was fantastic! The service was the worst I have aver experienced and I just couldn't see why. Plenty of staff. It was crowded, but they even messed up the reservation (forgot about us 2X! 7:45 reservation seated at 8:10pm. Checked out at 10:35pm! It was hard to get drinks (the table next to us went to a bar and brought drinks back!). And everything was sloth slow. Plenty of waitstaff wandering around empty handed.

We had a family meet up lunch on a Monday and were the only ones there. Service was slow at first until the regular waiter arrived around 12:30 and he was great. Food overall was fine but they didn't have good avocados so the salad one of us tried to order couldn't be made. To compensate they brought an extra salad no charge. The overall price for 7 people seemed reasonable also.
We were there to celebrate my son‘s birthday. The fade was excellent in the service from Amir was outstanding. The noise level was high due to construction in the few bar area. We will definitely go back again and ask for Amir.

I had the displeasure of being a customer at this restaurant. I’m taking the time to leave this review to hopefully save some of you time if you’re looking for a nice meal and good service which I usually find very important these days. Let’s start with the drink- I ordered a crown and ginger ale and instead of telling me they do not have ginger ale (absurd) they make me a crown, soda water and ginger beer. ? Less than half our table received their meal after waiting about an hour to begin with and then 45 mins later the rest gets their food. Filets ordered medium came out well done and charred. Side salad came after meal was already finished. It was just a mess from top to bottom, the explanation from the manager was insincere. There’s no way this restaurant can make it if they don’t turn something around Fast.

I was very disappointed in the food and service. The atmosphere was awesome. Overpriced for the quality of service and the food...I have paid less at chart-house and top of daytona and received way better food and service. 15-20 min wait to receive our drink order.
