About Lagoon Grill

Lagoon Grill, located in a resort, offers decent food with options like burgers (including a vegetarian Beyond burger) and fries (regular and sweet potatoes). While the food may not be spectacular, the ambiance is a highlight, with outdoor seating near the water offering a unique experience. The restaurant has a nice outdoor setting near the dolphins, and the view of the lagoon adds to the appeal. Visitors can enjoy a variety of menu choices, and the food is generally fresh and served quickly, often in less than 10 minutes. The staff are friendly, and the environment is lively, with birds and ferrets sometimes coming for food on the tables. However, the service can be lacking at times, and the restaurant closes at 5 pm, making it not ideal for sunset drinks or bites. Prices may be high for the quality of food received, with some dishes like fish tacos arriving ice cold and tortillas unheated. The second visit included a burger, spicy chicken sandwich, and club sandwich, all praised for high quality and flavor. The burger was juicy and cooked just right, though missing pickles initially. The spicy chicken sandwich had a smoky hot taste, with coleslaw on top cooling it down. The fries, especially the dynamite fries, are addictive, tasting similar to eel sushi roll but with a sweet, creamy flavor. The house salad with papaya dressing was notably tasty, with dressings made in house. A special mention goes to the fish tacos, loaded with fresh fish and sweet papaya, and the turtle chocolate cake for dessert, which was icy and delicious. Visitors can enjoy a variety of menu choices, often quick to arrive, and the outdoor seating near the water with views of the dolphins creates a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant is a reasonable daytime option at the resort, offering a lively outdoor experience near the lagoon, though it is not ideal for sunset drinks due to early closing. Visitors should be cautious of birds and ferrets that sometimes come for food on the tables.
