    Everything about this wind and waves grill is fantastic! From the customer service, to the servers, and to the really delicious meals that we have gotten here four times in this week alone, is wonderful. Needing special mention are four of the servers that we have had this week: Jill for dinner service, Andrea for dinner service, Zack for breakfast Service, and Samantha for breakfast service. They were all wonderful, courteous, professional, and very down to earth and nice. My husband and I can’t say enough about how great this restaurant is being right inside a resort. We have never had such good food and good service in any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Kudos to the management of this resort, everything here screams customer, service, friendliness, and really cool amenities. We will definitely vacation here again.

    Superb experience. Special menu for Valentine’s Day that was out of this world. Chef’s 7-course menu with wine pairing was perfection. Gina our server was attentive and knowledgeable. Entire staff was friendly. Atmosphere was great- you could speak to your table mates and actually hear the conversation. We will be back.

    We got the lobster bisque and truffle fries to start. I LOVED the lobster bisque so much! We had never had fries cooked in truffle oil before so the flavor was weird, but they were yummy and crunchy. The bread was hot and fluffy! My boyfriend had the Elk filet, and he loved it! He said it was delicious and tender, and the mushrooms he added to it were juicy and flavorful. I has the filet wellington, and it came with parmesan mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was everything I dreamed it would be when I searched the menu and picked it before we even arrived. The pastry was super light and flaky and the filet just melted through with each cut. It comes with a sauce that they pour over it for you. Everything on my plate was high class and definitely worth it. The only thing I can say is that parking was hard to find, but that was because there was an event happening up the road, and the roads were blocked. Also, this wasn't a big deal for us, but the regular filets like a sirloin, ribeye, filet mignon or the elk filet do not come with sides. Just a heads up about that. Great place though! Highly recommend for a small celebration or girls nights.
