    Overpriced food was mediocre at best. I'm talking about one dinner, one breakfast and one lunch by the pool. 4 pieces of tuna sushi thing was $29.00 as an example. Calamari was overcooked thus rubbery and the crunch hurt. The watermelon cocktail all 3 of us got was so watery (all ice) and tasteless, we had to send them all back. Service was very slow, as in 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hour breakfast, we each ordered one thing. Very disappointed in the food here.

    Menu this summer is not good for lunch. Very disappointing. They make a wonderful Cobb but that hasn’t been on the menu for a long time. Other salads aren’t interesting. Rest of menu is too heavy for lunch.
