Restaurants near 1820 Augustine Drive

Everything was awesome. We had an issue with parking due to Christmas Day parking issues. We arrived on property an hour prior to our reservation and it took almost another hour to park. I was worried that the restaurant would not hold our reservation but was told not to worry. Once seated and our server, Chris, came to the table, the experience more than made up for the parking fiasco. Chris was very attentive and a joy to deal with.

Spacious, open, modern atmosphere. The tables are large enough to accommodate all your food and are well spaced so we didn't feel cramped. Our food was top notch and the prices were comensorite with the quality of the food. The kitchen is open to the dinning room so it's a bit noisy if you sit next to it but the dinning room is quite large so you can sit away from it if it bothers you. There is also a large outdoor dining area that looked nice and has heaters for cool weather. The fried calamari was tender as was my pork chop and my dining companion's steak. There is a large selection of desserts and the warm chocolate cake with coffee ice cream and cherry crumble with vanilla ice cream were great. The staff were all friendly including the server and the manager and others that helped run the food. As you can probably tell from my review, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Thought there was less chicken in the taco salad. Salad had some brown areas

To be fair, we ate there as hotel guests and because it just opened, they did not have a full menu yet. We started with crab soup and Ahi tuna which were both very good. My husband had stir fried rice and shrimp, which was fine but overpriced in my opinion and his as well, $32 for basically some Chinese food with a little bit of tropical flare, using roasted pineapple. I had a wedge salad and had I been thinking I would’ve asked to have the dressing on the side because that’s what I typically do. Not a huge fan of wedge salads, but that’s the only salad they had and I Was not hungry enough for an entrée. The wasabi dressing was so hot, I finally had to just give up continuing to eat it because it was becoming actually rather painful when my sinuses were burning with every bite. As far as ambience, we were expecting a bit more since this has been newly redone, but it’s very contemporary with a bit of an island feel. Nothing to drowned out noise so while it wasn’t too bad since there were only maybe six tables occupied, I would think it could become much noisier. We had a 20% discount as guests, and it ended up for the aforementioned food and two glasses of wine, I believe including tip we spent close to $120 which is a fairly good price overall
