   While I was staying at the PinkShell I decided to have dinner at Rae's. My server, Brit, was exceptional.. I wanted a plain simple salad and she took the time to get exactly what I wanted. I ordered the spaghetti and meat balls. It was quite good and enough for 2 meals so I got a to go container. Brit came with a container of their delicious Italian bread to go with it. I found that to be outstanding service. I had one of their chocolate cake shots for dessert. Yummy and just enough! Now my reasons for only a 4 point overall rating. It was the bill. Now I figured it would be around 35.00 with a beverage, but when I got the bill it was 68.00. So, very hard to figure out where that came from. It is an extremely high priced restaurant. Yes, you get a lovely view, it is mostly quiet, and an exception server like Brit. It was nice to splurge, but that was a really big splurge! I can go to Pewter Mug in Naples and have prime rib and a lovely salad bar and cocktail. and it would only be 38.00. So, if you go be sure and make sure what you are ordering and the cost.

   I asked for a table with a good view at Rae’s for our 46th wedding anniversary and we got one overlooking the resort and ocean. So relaxing! We had some wonderful signature cocktails and a delicious dinner which was nicely plated. The flavors were amazing. Loved the dessert shots, too! Next year I’m hoping they have specials like lobster or surf and turf. That would have been awesome . We just had a great massage experience too. And to top it off we looked in our fridge today and saw two bottles of wine and some chocolates courtesy of the Shell Front Desk team. Frankly I’m thinking why go on a cruise when you have the Pink Shell!

   As a native Italian, I have to say that “Rae's Real Italian” definitely lives up to its name. The food was absolutely delectable. It had the authentic Italian flavors. The service unmatched. The ambiance gorgeous. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I truly enjoyed celebrating my birthday there. I would definitely recommend and would definitely go again.

    Very slow service, even thought it was not busy. Took 25 minutes for waiter to stop by to refill water glasses and take our order. 3 out of 4 adults stated that OG would be better food and they all dislike OG Then the price of $34 per food item seemed excessive

    We chose to try this again after a really bad experience with service in December, as did most of the restaurant. We voiced our concerns, the manager of the food service could not agree more. This time the service was in the restaurant, prompt, and the food was very good.

    Atmosphere is great, food is good. Overpriced for pasta but it’s a resort and tourist town so it’s to be expected. Our server was very rude. She walked around with desserts to every table and when she came to us we wanted to order desserts and she said, “oh we actually just stopped serving desserts”. Very short and rude. I’m sure there are other places to go with better service for the price you pay.

    Our waiter seemed distracted and uninterested. We got bread with olive oil. The table next to us was offered oregano and parmigiana with their oil oil. Before we went I read the menu online. One appetizer was Rae’s Meatballs for $12. You could get a side of pasta for $6. When I ordered it the waiter said I can get you spaghetti and meatballs, it’s just not on the menu. We went back and forth finally I gave in and said give me the spaghetti and meatballs. Well no wonder the waiter was so pushy about it. The bill came and my spaghetti and meatballs were $25!!!! The spaghetti portion was the size of a side order. Talk about unethical. The only desserts were shooter desserts. Two spoonfuls of dessert in a plastic cup for a hefty price. Mine was awful. Needless to say we were disappointed.

    Excellent service. Excellent salad. Chef special was good. Salmon entrée also good. Sides available for a price. Dinner was pricey for informal dining. Definitely family restaurant with nice view of pool and beach. Nothing special as far as atmosphere goes. You’re paying for a/c with beach view.

    Good food but not great. Good service. Very difficult to find. No sign on the street. It’s actually part of a resort which had live beach music at the pool. The condos were named Pink something.

    Overall a good value. Donavan is a knowledgeable and attentive server. Would have preferred open air. Noise level at one table was unpleasant. Good choice of apps, entrees were were all good to excellent. Pasta dishes were generous. Drinks were well poured. Wine "specials" were also good but not special

    Most restaurants at resorts are not that great. This was no exception. The food was mediocre but overpriced for the quality. Service was good but I would not go back.
