    Chris our server is a professional. Ashley continues to serve us and act like she's never met us. Happy hour is great but sad to look at an empty restaurant inside. Need to integrate physically outside and in. Head Somm is awesome.

    We showed up for our 8pm reservation and were told the wait would be 1 hour to get our food and it was our choice if we wanted to stay... subtle hostess... real subtle. Basically was telling us to leave unless we wanted to wait all night. This is after hearing another guest complain about waiting an hour to receive a drink and pleading for service. Really bad overall and not excusable for a place that claims to be fine dining.

    We made a reservation and still had to wait to be seated upon arrival. A little, irritating, but not a huge deal. Once seated, however, we waited around at least 15 minutes and no one had come by to our table or even acknowledged our presence. (And this is supposed to be a "fine dining" establishment?!) We had plenty of time to stare at our menus but nothing looked remotely appealing. Disgusted, we got up and left. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    We have eaten here many times and have always had a great experience. This time the food took FOREVER, we waited over an hour between the clearing of our starters and our main course. When we finally got the main it was below average. It was quite expensive for mediocre food and service. Waiter was very nice, attentive and apologetic, this was out of his control, something very wrong in the kitchen.

    Service was terrible. We waited 1.5 hours for our food. They were understaffed and apparently the chef quit !! Management did not do a good job of damage co trolls, therefore there were many unhappy customers.

    Great, as usually. They have increased the price for brunch, but still worth it.

    We dined at the Lido twice while staying at Dolphin Bay. We enjoyed a lovely white wine from Italy with our meals. I had Tasmanian trout for the first time, served with parsnip puree. We had a nice bread sampler as an appetizer. Service was attentive.
