   The food was inedible. Worse than a microwaveable meal.

   I truly strive to always give a positive review, however it’s just not possible this time. The best part of the experience was when we were sat by the window with a beautiful ocean view. From there, we waited a long time for anyone to greet us and take our order, then the server only came back once to take our order and one other time during our meal. We couldn’t find anyone for water refills or to get our check to pay. Our fish and our chicken were over cooked and dry. We had really been looking forward to our reservation here and it was a disappointment.

   Menu online is NOT the menu they present you with when you sit down. The menu they give you is extremely limited (9 total items) and pricey. When we asked about the menu that was online the server only shook her head and said no this is different and no, we can’t get what is showing online. Right as we got up to leave she said there is an “all day” menu…. We asked to see that (we passed a table of teenagers on the way to our seat who had burgers and chicken fingers, so we knew they had to have some options) that was definitely more our speed for our family of 4 including 2 teenagers. The food was very tasty and the service was great - I’m glad we asked about the menu!

   The restaurant was filthy dirty. I was shocked at how bad the restaurant was maintained. The floor used to be so beautiful, now it looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. Same goes for the furnishings.

   It is not very often that a hotel restaurant is a very special place to eat, bur 3800 is one such place! The food was exceptional. service great and the setting superb. We truly enjoyed our evening.

   My wife’s prosciutto wrapped chicken dinner was over cooked and the chicken was dry and chewy. My dinner of braised short ribs on polenta was excellent.

   We have eaten in this restaurant before. We always enjoyed it. However, last night the hostess was horrible. She wanted to stick us at a table that was so tiny for 4 people. We asked to go to a bigger table and she said no the table was reserved. The restaurant was not full. There were plenty of empty tables. And so we decided to eat in the bar next door. All night I watched that 1 table she said was reserved. No one sat at it. So she was a liar. Terrible service. I won’t go back.

    Had a nice lunch with friend - we were the only ones sitting inside the restaurant which was great because she had her 4 month old with her. Staff was great. Food was good - salads and mahi. I ordered sandwich with no bun because I am gluten free and had to ask for the dressing that would have been on bun. But again, staff was fantastic-attentive and accommodating. You pay for the experience there, including tipping at the valet-only parking but a lovely afternoon was had.

    We were vacationing at the property nearby, so made this reservation because it was on the ocean/ocean view. My phone number is not local, but from Atlanta. It would have been nice to let us know that our ocean view was going to be replaced with a linen shade after 20 minutes at the table. We could have easily moved our reservation up an hour. The restaurant had only 4-5 tables, so I’m sure they could have taken us earlier to enjoy the view. I’m all for saving the turtles, but also find communication important. My 770 area code was an indication that we’re from out of town & unaware of the covering of all windows before 8pm.

    Excellent location, view, food! However, our server disappeared at times even after saying he'd be right back. We had to ask twice for a to-go box and we had to go looking for him when he didn't return with the bill after some time. He did surprise my husband with a birthday dessert which was nice. It may have been an off day or a short-staffed day but the value of an expensive meal is reduced if the service is not great. We enjoyed ourselves, nonetheless.

    They had a small menu but the quality of the food and the tastes were excellent. Not sure the negative comments from the earlier reviews make a lot of sense. It was very busy for dinner and the staff was very attentive.

    Was excited to spend a Mothers Day evening with my wife and felt that we were being thrust through a buffet assembly line style which took away from ambiance and a “date” feel. The food and drinks were good but not to the tune of almost $300. Plus we were charged a 20% service charge for food we had to serve ourselves. The waiter was very nice but didn’t spend nearly enough effort to justify $60.

    Took my mother for Mother’s Day. It was $95/person for a horrible buffet. Food was cold and very few choices. Mani Mahi was cold and flavorless, got served a very small piece. Asparagus was soggy, cold and overcooked. Salads were wilted and turning brown. Prime rib was cold and fatty. Dessert choices were Walmart quality pastries. Complete waste of money. Manager didn’t care when I complained. She merely said that everyone else had enjoyed it. Will never go back or recommend to anyone!

    Four of us ate at 3800 for Mother’s Day dinner. The views of the gorgeous ocean are the highlight of this restaurant. We sat outside and there was a perfect breeze. Our server was extremely attentive, pleasant, and quick to respond to our request! First, this was a buffet dinner with the carving stations attended by the staff which was perfect and sanitary especially during a pandemic. The food was excellent but I am only giving 4 stars because the remainder of the buffet was self serve and everyone used the same serving utensils which is a certain way to spread germs. People don’t think and put their fingers in their mouths and touch the serving pieces. That was such a turn off considering the raw bar and other items were delicious. The pastry chef had a beautiful variation of the mini desserts. Every item was equally yummy. All in all, it was a wonderful afternoon.

    What a shame such a beautiful place and ideal spot has such a poor chef! My lobster bisque had chewy lobster that I had to leave in the bowl! My prosciutto and my chicken tasted terrible and felt like rubber!!! Drinks were good though! Not going back for a long time or till I hear they’ve got a new chef! Very sad. Really like it there.

    The first disappointment was the menu which was very limited. Only 6 entrees and one special. Our waitress said it was because of Covid. We’ve been to many restaurants in the area and yes I understand that menus have become limited, however only six entrées? Second, the restaurant was extremely noisy! When you go to an upscale restaurant on the water, you expect a better ambiance.

    Very noisy during season as there were lots of kids birthday parties. Service was excellent. Food choices were few. Food that we had was good but small portions. One of the only restaurants in the area where you can see the ocean. We requested an ocean view table and we’re give a table that had only a partial view. They gave the full ocean view table to two of the kids parties, bad hostess.

    The service wasn’t where it should have been and mirrored something you would expect at a local diner. Our waitress seemed annoyed that people were seated in her section and she grimaced at everything! The food was good and better than expected however everything had a lot of butter.

    Another amazing meal at 3800 Ocean. At a time when many restaurants struggle to find staffing levels capable of handling a main floor full of guests, 3800 manages to provide an experience that rivals any top shelf eating establishment. From bartenders to bus staff to servers to a table visit from the chef, every point of staff contact was flawlessly welcoming. The food was delicious and the view of the ocean with the breeze blown palm trees waving hello outside the dining room windows will keep our family coming back over and over again.

    Went there for a birthday dinner because it is on the water and wanted outside seating. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. Had a seat by the window but it was very loud.
