    Good afternoon, I searched and searched for an open restaurant for Christmas dinner. Paul's landing was the only restaurant open and available for Christmas dinner. I read their online menu and all the reviews, seems like a great place to eat. When my party arrived for dinner, we were ready to eat. The waiter was confused from the get-go. He never stopped by once to ask how everything is. He also misrepresented the menu; short rib special was supposed to be a big portion and comes with grilled asparagus. I received carrots under the short rib. The meat was fatty. The choices on the menu were totally different than the menu posted online. Not many choices so the Ladies ordered the chef cut (rib-eye), a 14-ounce steak for $55.00. Thats a bit absurd, this is no Capital Grille or Ruth Chris. Drinks are $20.00 plus. Ridiculous. I also noticed that many plates were returned to the kitchen with confusion. Save your monies folks, this is NOT a 4-star restaurant. Have a blessed day

    They were very busy for the holiday and the waitstaff seemed to be in the weeds. The food was good but not as described on the menu. My succotash had no lima beans and the biscuit was replaced with a croissant. Otherwise, it was a nice change from the usual Christmas routine. We love the property and the architecture-and the holiday decorations were great.

    What a delightful early dinner experience. We were looking for a simple pre-theatre dinner and were so glad we chose Paul's Landing. The restaurant is inside the Vinoy which is a delight in itself. The restaurant is light, bright and welcoming. We were seated at a table that perfectly matched our request in the reservation. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the water views are wonderful. Our server Matthew arrived within minutes to provide menus, take drink requests and explain the specials. Our order arrived freshly prepared to order and every bite was delicious. And Matthew our server added to our enjoyment thanks to his friendly, professional and attentive service We will certainly be returning. Thank you

    2nd time coming here on trip. Watched Christmas boat parade outside. The food is good at a reasonable price and atmosphere is great and we had a very nice waitress who was very helpful.

    Lovely, casual but cool environment with wonderful staff. Food however was disappointing - fish was undercooked, salad was overdressed and the lettuce was drippy.

    Everyone was at bar so had dining room to ourselves. It is a nice Room with quality fabric On chairs and benches and big colorful mural along with high ceilings. It was night but could see christmas tree lit Across bay but bay probably more interesting during the day. Prime rib french dip was good and generously meaty and truffle Fries very good. The watermelon salad with tomatoes and feta was unusual but tasty but i think we expected some greens with it but it was just watermelon, tomatoes, feta, pine nuts and onions and we didn’t really want the onion. The server brought extra feta, cocktails were well made and tasted good but small with too much ice. Server was fine snd brought everything promptly.
