    The hotel is under a major renovation, which we were not aware of until we got there. The noise from the construction crew continued on throughout the dinner hour, making it almost impossible to hold a conversation. The restaurant manager clearly sympathized with us, and he told us he had asked the hotel manager to have them stop, but that didn’t happen while we were there. He did comp two starters, which was appreciated. We’ve eaten here in prior years and had a positive experience, but not this time. We won’t be going back, at least not during this visit.

    I wanted to give a higher rating but our waitress really dropped the ball. We requested bread and it took 25 minutes to get it. In the meantime my husband's appetizer got cold. The manager did step in and offered free dessert. We will go back and anticipate that we will have better service.

    We chose the Copper Bar because of its many gluten free options. We ordered two appetizers, as well as entrees. The appetizers never came, and no one checked on us before our entrees were served. The food was good. We enjoyed the butterfish, and our grandson enjoyed his sushi. I don’t know where the communication problem occurred, but the missing items were removed from our bill. We enjoyed the view and the food, but I’m not sure we’d return. Better service would help.

    My husband and I dined during sunset and had a lovely experience. I had read a number of reviews complaining about poor service that I very nearly cancelled my reservation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The dinners was served within a reasonable time period. We were allowed to enjoy the courses, the sunset and the entertainment. It was a lovely evening!

    We had sushi which was excellent. They have a more limited but everything we had was delicious. We had a white Spanish alberino wine and Malasada for dessert. Our server was excellent and very personable

    Despite renovations going on around the restaurant and resort, guests are not inconvenienced or even very aware of the work going on. Cooper Bar continues to serve excellent food and drinks in a beautiful environment.

    Copper Bar has consistently performed well over the years. We had a party of five and we all enjoyed our evening.

    Good menu and service provided at this restaurant. The only minor element was the construction going on in the area but that is to be expected when refurbishments are planned.
