   I made a reservation several weeks before our visit. The night of our reservation Gurneys closed the Pool Club Restaurant and never let me know. I found out upon arrival after confirming via email the day prior. They offered us a seat at their upscale restaurant, however, my two young sons wanted burgers which are only on the pool club menu. The manger wouldn't accommodate us with burgers which I thought was terrible after they didn't even let us know they cancelled our reservation. We opted to take out from the take-out restaurant where they serve burgers. We ate at the Pool Club tables, the food was good. I recommend the pizza. The views are spectacular! Customer service, not so much.

   We have eaten well at the main restaurant at Gurney's Star Island, so we figured that the Pool Club would be a safe bet. Our son asked for grilled chicken with his Caesar Salad. The waiter said, "Fine, fine," but then the salad came without the chicken. So we asked the waiter to please get him some grilled chicken. Nothing came. Finally another server had to get it for us. We were not amused. Pinot Noir by the glass was undrinkable. No desserts available. Is that a way to move tables faster? I don't know. They did comp us for the Chicken Caesar and the bad glass of wine, but we have absolutely no intention of ever going back. There are just too many way better choices out there. The only good thing that I have to say is that it is a lovely setting.

   This met all our expectations. Great energy and ambiance. Romantic setting near the yacht harbor and excellent service and food. The choices on the menus were creative and exciting.

   The pool club at gurney‘s star Island is a gorgeous setting to have dinner at. The service was wonderful. The food was delicious and the cocktails were creative. My only complaint is that the hedges were too tall where we were sitting so we didn’t have a good view of the marina.

    We had a beautiful evening out on the water. The staff knew that we were celebrating the legacy of my mother and contributed so fully to that experience. We plan to return many times for the food, ambience, and hospitality. Thank you, Gurney!
