   Located in the Holiday Inn. What turned me off was the sticky floor throughout the lobby and restaurant which made me feel they don’t value cleanliness.

   The food was good unfortunately. The steak had to be returned because there was a larger amount of fat on the meat so they cooked a new steak. Service was very good and the chef came out and apologized. We would definitely go back for dinner.

   We were informed that there was a management change! It appears to have affected the food... I was looking forward to the crab soup as it was my favorite and has been for the years we have visited the restaurant. I couldn't even finish it as to was so salty and spicy. My wife's crab cake sandwich was terrible as the orange dressing on the sandwich had to be scraped off with a knife and the Cesar salad had croutons so hard she would have broken a tooth trying to eat one. She tried to cut one with a knife but it wouldn't even cut... Sorry to say that the experience was only saved by the excellent wait staff. Colby was the bright light in this experience as the rest was VERY dimmed. Sorry for the bad review, but honesty is the best policy, RIGHT!!!

   Food was good. Service was slow, and restaurant was not busy. Environment was quiet. Price we paid, was not reflective of our experience.

   Expensive and the food wasn’t worth the price. The cafe side is the actual hotel pool room separated by a clear plexiglass wall… so you can see people in the pool and they can see you. Our food sat in the kitchen and was not delivered fresh because my daughter’s pasta sauce had dried up.

    The food is great and the place is beautiful. The only complaint is that it is LOUD. It’s hard to hear one another while in the restaurant.

    Very nice, but surprised “room” shared with indoor pool. Thus, casual setting, but service & food Very Good!

    Although a little on the expensive side, it’s a great place to eat and the food is well worth the cost. It’s definitely upscale quality in all aspects. The servers were both personable and knowledgeable and they also get a five star from me. I definitely recommend it!

    The experience was okay. A couple of disappointments (1) the waiter forgot to put in my appetizer (2) I ordered the crab cake and it was horrible. As a Marylander, I know crab cakes and this wasn’t it. It had an unusual seasoning in it giving it a weird taste. A couple of bites and I was done, I couldn’t eat it. Lastly, it was closing time and as we were receiving/paying the check, the cleaning staff rolled a bucket to our table and proceeded to mop around our feet. It was quit an unpleasant experience.

    Me and my friend had dinner tonight at the Coral Reef. Carlos was our waiter and he was very attentive. Very interesting setting with the pool under the same roof. Great experience overall!
