    Had reservations in the Grand Dining Room for our 44th wedding anniversary. We dressed as requested (jackets for men and dressy for women), unlike several people who dressed as if they were eating at a fast food restaurant. We were first in when they opened at 6:00 for dinner and were seated at the end of the room close to the fireplace which was nice. However, as more people were seated we noticed that everyone else was getting served while we just sat there, ignored. No water, no lemon, no waiter. Husband was getting annoyed and I'm usually the one who gets annoyed when things are not going as expected. Finally, our waitress appeared and even she noticed that we had not been attended to as all the other diners had been. She poured our water herself (the assistant wait staff should have already done this) and took our order for drinks and appetizers. After that, things were better. The Oysters Rockefeller were excellent. A little different than the "classic" preparation, but very well done. Caesar salads were also very good. We asked to split one so we could save room for dessert later. I ordered the duck breast and husband ordered the snapper special for our entrees. Both were very good. If we didn't eat at really wonderful restaurants all the time over on SSI, this meal would have rated excellent. It was the service from the assistant wait staff that left a bad taste. They need more training and/or an attitude adjustment. After the no water fiasco at the start, it was like pulling teeth to get them to offer us rolls and butter. No smile, no personality, no picking up empty plates - why are they working here in a first class place??? Fire those guys and get some people that actually want a job and can act in a professional manner!! I want to go back again soon. The history of the Jekyll Island Club is fun to think about as you're enjoying a meal in this lovely room. I kept asking myself - Who might have sat in the same spot many years ago??

    We chose the Grand Dining room for breakfast The hotel is lovely, it feels as if you’ve stepped back in time Warmly greeted by all staff from the valet, hostess, dining room staff and our waitress Breakfast is a buffet ($16.95) including coffee and juice or you can order from the menu (additional costs for coffee and juice) We chose the buffet Plenty to chose from, nothing special its standard breakfast fare Bacon, sausage, eggs, pastries etc Next time I would order from the menu, options include eggs Benedict Don’t miss the experience, sometimes it’s more about the ambience than the food

    Went for special occasion. Service was very slow from all 3 staff working our table. We were in sunroom area we requested, but I think all servers (waiter, person responsible for clearing dirty dishes & person serving rolls) forgot we were there. We really enjoy going to upscale restaurants for special occasions. Waiter even apologized for not bringing bill quicker. We don’t mind spending more on fine dining but expect to to get better service. The food was very good but because the overall experience was bad we would probably not go back.

    Atmosphere is outstanding. Service was very good. All staff was very attentive. Entrees were very good, however the lobster bisque resembled baby food carrots mixed with split pea soup. Overall a very pleasant dining experience, and a special place to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We will be back again and will recommend the Grand Dining Room to our friends and family.

    I was a guess at the Club. Not my first time here. I had made reservations well in advance of my arrival. Seated at the back of the resturant in the middle next to a pillar. No ambiance here. Rather loud. Hard to have a conversation. Service was great.(Shawn). My steak was cooked to order, scalloped potatoes I would not recommend. My wife had the scallops which were best she has had.

    If you consider $40 expensive for a special occasion, all inclusive meal, then it's not for you. The food and service were excellent. The seafood consisted of jumbo Georgia steamed shrimp, jumbo Georgia steamed crab claws, Alaskan King Crab, and smoked shrimp/oysters/scollops - all excellent. The beef was appropriately rare and "melt in your mouth" in texture. There are too many items to list, although I did attempt (and failed) to sample all. However, I can't close without mentioning the key-lime pie - be certain to save room. Lastly let me mention the decor: this is a well preserved, but old and historic hotel - so, take some time and appreciate your surroundings.
