Went for Mother's Day Brunch so not sure vs regular menu. Nice, but looks like hotel breafast venue. Staff including hostesses very pleasant. On buffet, high end entrees like Chilean sea bass and skirt steak were excellent

Compared to last year, the food was not as good. The breakfast burrito was tasteless. The buffet was very good, but they ran out of plates and bowls and were slow to replace them. The table service is very friendly and efficient. Prices are what you would expect at a resort restaurant. Parking is very expensive, $32 for the first 3 hours, promised a voucher but the process did not work. We have no plans to return next year.
$38 dollars for some tortilla chips, one fried egg, one slice of crumbled bacon, and a cup of coffee. Granted, that included the 20% service charge, but I did not feel the amount charged for my meal was reflective of what I received. The flavor was fine, but I expected more. The bowl was filled with tortilla chips (maybe they were fresh fried flour tortilla chips?) that had been tossed in salsa verde, topped with ONE fried egg (over easy) and 1 small piece of crumbled "pork belly" which was really just a thin slice of bacon. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was definitely disappointed. The downside is unless you plan to use a rideshare service or walk, there aren't many options to choose from on-site, so diners should expect to pay a pretty penny for their meal.

Pretty solid Easter brunch buffet, with an amazing desert offering display in a separate room to the side. Maybe not 100% as high end as I was expecting, but no complaints and waitstaff and management were super nice and accommodative. Also smart of them not too overbook the space, busy but wasn't crowded at all.

it was a lovely Easter Brunch - the staff was super energetic and excited to be there.....i was by myself and they bent over backwards to check on me. the food was good....loved the seafood options. The best part of the meal was the dessert room! Wowo - they went all out in the setup of the huge table fille with desserts. huge variety and they had a lot of cute and clever ideas and the flavors were amazing! One looked like 1/2 a hard boiled egg but the exterior was coconut gelatin and the yolk was a guava mousse/paste....clever and delicious. Egg shell holders filled with cholate mousse? OMG so rich and decadent. All was topped off by an super energetic Easter bunny who entertained the kids and laughed with the adults. A job well done! the rest of the hotel could learn from this crew - their enthusiasm and desire to help everyone enjoy the meal was fabulous!!!

Three friends and I went to Olivia to celebrate a birthday. This was our second time here but the first for the bday couple. We tasted two items from the fresh mozzarella bar, had salads, four different entries + somehow made room for dessert too! Everything was delicious. Don't forget to ask for the fresh linguini cooked in the Parmesan wheel. Very rich but so good. We all will be back in the future. Dinner was expensive but well worth it.

We made reservation a week earlier to celebrate our mother's 78th birthday and picked this restaurant based on a recommendation and also looked at photos in Open Table. However it wasn't described as 2 locations for the same restaurant; the real restaurant with any ambiance is only the outdoor rooftop area several floors up and the indoor seating of the restaurant is essentially a hotel lobby bar with minimal separation and the noise from the people coming back from the beach sitting on lobby sofas and drinking out of red solo cups was a huge distraction. When we were called to confirm our reservation they asked if we wanted inside or outside seating- not if we wanted to sit in a lobby hotel restaurant or a rooftop deck appropriate for a birthday celebration. Food was excellent but the lobby restaurant was reminiscent of a Marriott Courtyard in the northeast where they put together old furniture with some Amazon seat covers and throw some tablecloths to disguise the haphazard design. This chef deserves a better set up

Made reservation on top roof but they did not have table for us, they could not find our reservation (showed them my confirmation) still did have table on top roof... offered us table on the first floor, service was so unprofessional, ordered pasta with shrimps, honestly worst meal I've ever had... very desapointing , other guest were not impressed with the food either, was not worth it, we will not go back.

Awesome experience. We arrived and were greeted by the hostess who promptly directed us to the elevators to access the rooftop. Once at the rooftop location the greeting staff was courteous and friendly. We were taken directly to our table. Where we enjoyed stunning views of the city. Our waitress delivered a service we have not seen in a long time. Outstanding service well above south Florida standards!

The indoor first floor dining experience was a bit disappointing because there are two different table/seating types and the high ceilings and marble tile walls/structural beams contribute to an excessive noise level. The conference center style chairs are very uncomfortable. Clearly, the rooftop experience is a different category. I was charged the same amount for zucchini only vs the zucchini and calamari--really?! The service was good, but the servers were changed out without explanation.
We went for the Prime Rib special on Sunday. The hostess was incredibly friendly and sat us at a nice round table in the corner. This was the last good thing to say about this place. It then became the Bait and Switch operation. We ordered cocktails. I ordered the house martini which is made with Belvedere vodka. 15 minutes after we placed our order my husband's drink came and I was told that they had no more Belvedere vodka and couldn't make my drink. Since my husband had his drink, I ordered a glass of wine (no long wait time) so we could enjoy our cocktails together. We then placed our order and minutes later learned that they had no more Prime Rib (at 6:15). Everything else was way overpriced for the quality of the restaurant so I had a shrimp cocktail and Caesar salad. The service was just okay - I can't stand restaurants where the waitstaff has that false air of superiority and treats you like you don't belong.The food was just barely tolerable. The shrimp cocktail was horrible. My husband's steak was an awful cut of beef- definitely not prime or choice. Stay away is all I can say.

Great restaurant with superior quality food. Very pricey but the quality can't be beat. Center cut filet was extremely tender and the sauces were a nice addition. Beautiful atmosphere is conducive to any celebration.

Wagyu was overseasoned-couldnt eat $150 steak! Asparagus tasted like cooking fuel from grill. Creamed spinach was watery and flat. Mac and cheese tasted like flour. Deviled eggs were ok but too much mustard. Lobster bisque had good chunks of lobster but bisque was underseasoned. Wagyu Meatballs and sauce were excellent! Waiter argued back when I explained why we didn't want him to pack the Wagyu or asparagus up.

The service was excellent but the food was not really worth the price. Way too expensive for food that was not that good. 1 steak $60-80 , but comes with no sides, nothing. Had to purchase individually. Ridiculous!!
