Perched along Florida’s stunning coastline, the restaurant at the W is a vibrant, upscale escape where beachside bliss meets bold, authentic flavor. With sweeping views of the ocean and a breezy, open-air ambiance, this spot is as much about atmosphere as it is about unforgettable cuisine. From the start, the staff were warm, friendly, and effortlessly attentive—welcoming us with genuine hospitality that made the whole experience feel personalized and relaxed. The outdoor seating area was a breath of fresh air—literally. With the sound of waves in the distance and palm trees swaying overhead, every detail of the setting enhanced the mood. The drinks? Spectacular. Each cocktail was generously poured and perfectly balanced—bright, refreshing, and palate-cleansing in the best way. The signature margarita was a standout, but every glass that hit our table was a work of mixology art. Major kudos to the bartender for elevating the entire experience with drinks that truly complemented the menu. Speaking of the menu—our authentic Mexican cuisine was the height of decadence. Rich, layered flavors, fresh ingredients, and creative presentations made every dish shine. From the first bite to the last, it was clear the chef had a deep respect for tradition and an eye for elegance. Compliments to both the bartender and the chef for delivering a coastal dining experience that was equal parts luxurious and comforting. Whether you’re there for a sunset dinner or a lazy afternoon bite, this restaurant is a must-visit destination for lovers of Mexican cuisine and beachfront indulgence.

Service was horrible! Waiters preferred to gossip rather than wait on customers. Husband had a terrible stomachs ache the next day. Food was not great.

The restaurant was extremely noisy, the food was disappointing, and the service was frustrating. Our waiter seemed annoyed that we were there; we ordered food and drinks, but they were never brought to us—another staff member had to deliver them. Additionally, the waiter kept rushing us every time he came to our table, but he never brought our orders. Overall, it was a bad experience.

On behalf of the Lona Team, I sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had. Your experience matters to us, and it’s upsetting to know we missed the mark. Please reach out to us—we’d appreciate the chance to turn this around.
