Our family was visiting the coast and we were excited to dine at The Spyglass. When we walked in at 5, there were 3 tables open but we were told they had no more room FOR THE NIGHT. We were the only party with kids and it seemed like they didn’t want to accommodate us because of that.

Spyglass at Otter Crest was like visiting a beautiful, faraway land. The property is gorgeous, and the view and food blew me away. So happy we had an event there and got to check it out. Will be back to enjoy it again! Soon!

Always worried about the quality of food when I am at a “view “restaurant. However, the ribs are slow cooked and amazing, the fish was great, and Becca provided the best service we could imagine. We’ve been to otter crest, lots of times, and this is the first time we went to the restaurant, and it won’t be the last!

Great atmosphere,views and decor! Super clean!Even a pool table! Staff is professional and engaging.I ordered a burger which turned out to be double smashburger patties without being described as such. So of course it was overcooked.I'll try pizza next time.

We ate here because of the proximity to our room. The pizza is INCREDIBLE. In fact, next time we will get it to go. However - drinks sucked. My 007 martini boasted some incredible flavors on the menu but I found the only flavor I could taste was gin and stale olives. The lemon, black pepper, and spruce flavors were completely lacking. My husband's margarita was just ok. The drinks were $16.99 each! And the waitress was without personality. She was friendly enough but not outgoing at all. I will not dine here again and I recommend you don't either. Get a can of beer that can't be messed up, a pizza, and head back to your room or to the pool where there are outdoor tables.Vegetarian options: Pizza available

Service very slow. No line but waited to be seated for 5 mins. Got waters, but another long wait for drinks. Food came out quickly. Wife ordered a burger but came with no bun or any fixings like lettuce, mayo, tomatoes! Had to get them reordered. The ribs were fatty and over cooked. Not worth $26Will try again on another visit as maybe they were just having a bad day.

It's pretty bad when a restaurant can eff up a hawaiin pizza. Dough wasn't done. Giant chunks of ham. Had to scrape off excess sauce. Double cheeseburger with so little taste even the bacon was bland. Just get dinner elsewhere when you stay here.
We recently had dinner at Spyglass for my mother in law’s 60th celebration. The food was outstanding including the cocktails, service was super friendly and the atmosphere was nice with a view of the ocean. Would highly recommend grabbing a bite to eat here!

I've been coming to the Inn at Otter Crest for 35 or so years because my family has a timeshare here. I remember coming to The Flying Dutchman (which it was originally named) with my grandparents for special dinners. The new proprietors have done a decent job of keeping the place going. Last time I visited was 5 years ago and they were open for breakfast which we took advantage of a few times. Now they are only open 4 nights a week for dinner only. I get it, it's off the beaten path and hard to get butts in seats.We decided to get take out on Thurs night, which is prime rib night. I took a chance on the special and I was pleasantly surprised. The prime was cooked to perfection and delicious, as was my wife's burger and my daughters grilled cheese (which I ended up eating most of). I believe it's the same owners from 5 years ago, and I believe it's the same guy cooking that was doing breakfast then. He knows what's up, you can tell when someone cooks a grilled cheese how experienced they are. I've been a pro chef for 20 years and I can see (and taste) the skill. It was excellent, and I hope they are still going strong when we visit next time.

I came with my family to celebrate my 60th birthday and I did not have plans so it was just a last minute decision. We decided to eat at this restaurant on the resort and we were pleasantly surprised. Matt took great care of us. The food was so delicious! The cocktail were made to perfection! My husband and I travel all over the world so we dine at find restaurants, we would highly recommend this venue. Thank Matt for making my birthday so memorable.

Very happy to see them open again for in house dining (not just takeout). We really like their pizza. They have specials running again. The Albacore Tuna, Ribs, and the ribeye steaks were delicious. Possibly the best grilled asparagus I've ever had. Full bar as well. Not inexpensive but no more expensive than any other nicer restaurants we frequent. We spend a week here at Otter Crest every 3 months and enjoy having dining available. We always try to have their food at least once or twice during our stays. Keep up the good work.

As the bride who held my wedding at this incredible location, I can't express how perfect it was! The ocean backdrop was breathtaking, and the cost was reasonable. The service was top-notch, and the food was a hit with our guests. Special thanks to James for being so responsive and accommodating during the planning process. Highly recommend this venue for an unforgettable wedding experience!
