The Rod 'N' Reel Restaurant is a place where various groups can enjoy meals together, as noted by the quiet meeting room provided for business meetings. The establishment is currently undergoing renovations, but visitors can still dine at the adjoining outdoor café, which offers a limited menu. Standout dishes include the steamed and fried shrimp, and the satisfying fries. Although some recent experiences mentioned missing items like fried chicken and cold potatoes at the buffet, the service remains commendable.
Families are welcome, with kid-friendly services and gifts for children. For special occasions, like Mother's Day and Easter, the restaurant offers a diverse menu that caters to all. Guests appreciate the beautiful decorations and friendly staff, with some noting the lovely atmosphere during events. It is suggested to make reservations in advance, especially during busy times. The renovated restaurant is anticipated to reopen soon, and many look forward to enjoying the new space.
