Its the first day of our vacation. Our first meal in Hawaii was a Kobe burger and a lobster burger from this place. Not good. The lobster burger patty was crunchy. What the fuck is that about? The bed was soggy from the mayo? The Kobe burger was over done. I masked the flavor of burnt with mustard and ketchup. I came in 2012 and had short ribs on a nice bed of rice. It was the main reason why I came back to this resort.
(1)Jonathan D.
Tasty food, but over priced for what it is. Let's just call it...Pool side food! I ordered a Kona lobster burger for $25. No fries. That's extra! Sit inside of the restaurant and not next to the shark lagoon if you're afraid of birds or want to enjoy your food and not worry about a bird landing on your plate.
(3)Christine C.
The location of this restaurant at Hilton is great, right next to the dolphin quest. The food was very pricey and wasn't very good. We ordered the Mauka Makai Special for two - which comes with a Kobe burger and Kona Lobster burger. I had asked what is a Lobster burger? The waitress said it is like a crab cake - I thought YUM... When the order came out, I was shocked. The Kobe burger was so small, it is not like the normal size 1/3 lb you would get; the lobster burger was a 1 star, it is far from a crab cake style. It's more taste like imitation crab got glued together! This cost $39.99!!! What a rip off. I don't mind paying (that's why I ordered), but at least give me something decent.
(1)Lisa M.
Eating lunch while Dolphins swim next to you? Bonus! This little place in the Hilton Waikoloa offers your typical resort lunch with burgers, sandwiches, wraps, etc. I had the swordfish sandwich which was good, not impressive and it was just the sandwich. Fries? I wish!!!! Folks that know me know I love my fries! What a bummer. At least the kids meals came with fries. Fortunately kids under 5 eat free there so that was nice. Also, if you are kamaaina, you get a nice discount as well. Nice environment if you want to watch the Dolphins at Dolphin Quest. Food not so impressive. Bummer.
(3)Jane V.
Lagoon Grill was disappointing and it was such a simple order. You think of the name Hilton and you assume top notch ....especially the simples bar food menu item most all western American states offer....and in Hawaii it should be the freshest and the best.....so you assume....... The calamari. Over priced for the amount you receive. Being over price at a resort is one thing but paying for something that you can't even eat is beyond unacceptable. Calamari is "our thing" and we order it as an appetizer just about everywhere. Many pieces burnt and I wonder who thought that was a good idea to put them on the plate and serve them. The whole thing should of been tossed and another order fried up. There was nothing 'homemade' about it. Yes it is a poolside bar, but I want to be able to eat what I paid for, not just part of it. On the flip side the veggie roles where a good size and the two sauces gave two different complements to the roles, but a nice warm peanut sauce would of been a 5 star.
(2)Mike D.
The food is actually pretty decent - the prices are not. Can't beat the views of the coast or the dolphin festivities on the other side. I went here a couple times during our stay and got the Big Kahuna one time and the turkey club the other. Both were tasty, no complaints on the food. Service was good and came with a smile. No issues there, either. Unfortunately these were our most expensive meals on the island. It's just hard to justify the price for the quantity and quality.
(3)Julie R.
Awesome to sit there and watch while they feed the dolphins. I went there 3 times during my stay. The first time, the bartender was clearly overworked and the wait for a drink was ridiculous... However, we just arrived on the island and could hardly wait for our Mango Mojito so we waited our turn. The second trip, I had the Fish & Chips. Really good! Small fish pieces paired with a delish tartar sauce and fries. The last trip, I had the BBQ Bacon Cheesburger. The bacon was thick and crispy, just the way I like it. I really enjoyed the burger. The service was awesome with the exception of the busy bartender. The con is that the food is way overpriced. $22 for fish & chips is a bit steep, however it is a resort...at least thats how I tried to justify it.
(3)Kathleen Leah C.
Everything is so expensive and not that good in my opinion. I got the Hawaiian BBQ burger and it was so dry and bacon looked off putting. One server was so sweet but the other ones seemed so rude and annoyed at us just because we couldn't figure out who the food was for. Don't recommend.
(2)Jenny L.
Convenient- next to the lagoon so it's quick in and out to get a drink or snack. Has enough variety on the menu to satisfy most. One free kid meal with each paid adult meal. Try to get seating next to the dolphin training grounds for extra enjoyment.
(3)Chris L.
Service is great and that's about it. The food is awful and overpriced. $20 burgers means they don't care if you come back and not looking for repeat business. The chili on the hot dog and fries was awful. The hot dog bun was stale. The smoothie was pretty good but double the price of Jamba Juice ($8). We sat here to watch the dolphins but not coming back.
(1)Kathleen B.
During my stay on the Big Island, I experienced friendly people in every location I visited--except at the Hilton Waikoloa Hotel, where we checked in as guests. When we attempted to take our family (5 adults, 5 children) to the Lagoon Grill at 6 on a busy Saturday night, the wait staff and "hosts" rudely told us, "you can't sit here, you can't sit there. They knew our requirements, but they offered no help or suggestions for alternatives. An area was closed--we suggested we sit there but were told, "If we let you sit there, then everyone will want to sit there." If there was a reason for slowly shutting down the place, the staff might have explained instead of treating us so rudely. Hilton, please take note.
(1)Tom C.
Nice central location in the hotel, with nice views of the dolphins, sharks, and/or lagoon/waterfall. Easy lunch break place if you are at the lagoon. Food is fine for what it is (nice fish and chips, with LOTS of fries). Wife got the grilled fish twice. Healthy, but a bit bland (ask for tartar sauce). A plus is that kids 4 and under are free (the only choice is a grilled cheese sandwich, fries, and fruit), which saves on the overall cost. Would definitely go back.
(3)Lisa H.
Came here on our last day at the resort. We were too pooped to go out and decided to stay in for lunch and kill the last few hours before our flight. Our server was friendly but he forgot to put in our appetizers; our burgers got to the table first and I had to ask where they were. Our waiter comped them, though, so that was redeeming. My boyfriend and I ordered the lobster burgers. $25 is sort of steep for a burger, but I suppose it's to be expected for lobster at a resort. (The place also used plastic cups and plates,... I'm being picky, but it was disappointing considering the pricws.) My boyfriend absolutely loved his burger, but I (a huuuuge lobster fan) was left sort of underwhelmed. The drippiness and not-so-rich lobster taste hinted the patty was previously frozen. But, regardless, the restaurant overlooks the dolphin and shark pools; a great spot to eat lunch outside when the weather's nice and chill out for a while!
(3)Maren H.
Resort food..I guess what can you expect you're a trapped audience... It is totally fine nothing good, not horrible just passable. My veggie wrap did have fresh veggies, my husbands BLT tasted like old grill grease and a days of other food...but if you wanna not drive and watch dolphins lay while you eat its good.
(2)Robin S.
Standard food here like burgers and wings. The burgers are absolutely enormous and taste. One thing I liked was that although they don't prepare their burgers below medium, the burgers are actually medium when they come out. (Too often medium gets rounded up to hockey-puck well-done.) Our burgers came out practically a second after our wings, which was a little frustrating but not a deal breaker or anything. It's a great place to take a break from the sun and the lagoon!
(4)Johnny F.
Food was suprisingly not bad. Service was Ok, and no lighting outside after dark. But with all the poor reviews, I was expecting much less. Prices are kinda high but overall, not bad.
(4)Jose R.
If you are looking for easy and casual this is a good place. Burgers are good, not great, but the location is very nice. Easy to grab a table by the water and just relax. Expect $20 per adult. We ate here twice. Each time we were walking by and there was an open table by the water, so we sat down and had dinner. No reservations, and no driving. It was worth the extra few dollars to eat at the hotel. The first time we went I had the Big Kahuna burger. It really wasn't worth the extra money. The second time I had the avocado bacon burger which was pretty good. Overall it was what I expected from a resort. It is on my ok to eat at list.
(3)Drizza N.
Love the service & food was good as well! We had the burger and the lobster sandwich for 2 special... They halted the burgers. It was fresh. My son had the bacon cheeseburger and the bacon was crispy as well! Onion rings/ fries and calamari were perfect. Definitely will come again as we are in day 2 of 8 at the hilton!
(5)Scott W.
One would hope that a $17 burger would be better than a chain. Nope. Food was comparable to bad mall food. They servers rarely bussed or wiped the tables. We needed to stand to get the servers attention for anything. Oh well. The view is lovely. After having lunch the other day at the Four Seasons, we were prepared for the price. We only hoped that the food and service would be equally as good. Nope.
(2)Dave D.
Can't beat the view and the vibe . Dolphins, lagoon, music, Hawaii......food was just ok, it was fast and fairly yummy (as my kids say). But $9 beer???? Seriously ??? Oh well, it's Hawaii !!
(3)Darryl R.
Service was horrible. We waited 15 min to just get drink order in. Then no one ever came to check on us. I got a hot dog and a drink for me and my girl and it cost me more than $30. It wasn't even very good. Then the place closed and no one even paid attention that we were still there. I could've walked out with out paying that's how oblivious they were to their guests.
(1)Jeff K.
This is probably my least favorite place in HWV. The same drinks cost more here than at Malolo Lounge, the Boat Landing Pavilion, or Imari. The server we had treated us more as a nuisance than a customer paying outlandish prices for incredibly mediocre food. It's near the dolphins. So there's that.
(2)Latisha P.
Oh why oh why does this resort have restaurants with food that are so unsatisfying? Such high prices for not so great food. But if you are staying here and need food after the pool like we did, then this will work. Just don't expect to be amazed. Fries weren't bad here, and at least you get to see people kayaking and stuff in the lagoon. I had the catch of the day burger and it was a bit dry. Ask for extra tarter sauce so it won't be as dry. My sister said the teriyaki chicken burger was pretty good. They did have good piña coladas also. Our service was good.
(2)Emanuele C.
We came here 2 days ago and got a 5 star COBE beef burger and the waiter was a young and really nice woman so we decided to come back. I'm writing this review as we eat and I have to say while the burger remains amazing the server we have, an older woman is terrible, not checking on us at all and with quit an attitude. I ordered their fresh fried calamari and there is nothing fresh about them!! They were terrible and soggy..I asked them to change it into the same burger I had two days before and they did it no problem..too as I had to wait 15 min and no one even asked me why I wasn't eating them.. Long story short I called another waiter seeing that our was never to be found. However this is a 5 star burger place but not awesome place for other foods..
(3)Brian B.
Food is extremely expensive for the quality!
(1)Nicole R.
Skip this place. We were hoping for an enjoyable lunch at the hotel before heading off to the pool for the afternoon and were thoroughly disappointed with our experience here. My family ordered burgers, veggie pitas, chicken wings, salads and a keiki fruit plate for my daughter. None of the food was very good at all--hugely overpriced and really underwhelming portions and presentation. The quality of the food just sucked. The worst was the fruit plate we ordered for my little girl: the fruits were nearly all covered in mold. We asked our server to take it back and bring a new one. We were disgusted when she returned with the same plate of fruit that I kid you not seemed as though they had simply rinsed the fruit under water...and it still came back moldy! We sent it back a second time and said we just wanted it gone. Completely unacceptable! The server was nice but didn't ask if she could bring us anything else in its place. The only redeeming quality about the Lagoon Grill is its proximity to the dolphins--we got to watch trainers feed these beauties for several minutes while we waited for our horrible food.
(1)Zhen T.
We were on our vacation and it was our second day there, got a late start so we decided to have lunch at the lagoon grill. As soon as we got there the friend waitresses greeted us and sat us down, they were quick to ask us if we wanted something to drink and took our order. Our food came very quickly which is a plus for us since we have a toddler who can sit only for a short of amount of time! They also asked us if we would like to order a free grill cheese sandwich for our daughter and they seemed very friendly about! The food was good and the service was great!
(5)Anuhea P.
Not such a bad place as you would expect reading reviews...prices are normal for a resort like that, and its very nice to sit by the dolphin lagoon and watch the dolphin quest program and trainers. After a giant buffet breakfast we weren't super hungry for lunch so we split a burger, average size, upgraded to onion rings...not so many considering it was two dollars extra. But our waitress was nice. We came back on our last day to watch the dolphins and to eat our leftovers from the night before at kpc and just ordered some drinks and we weren't pressured to order anything else or told we couldn't do that. Even the bartenders were great teaching me how to make a Coco mo so I could make them at home :)
(3)Nikki S.
Blah. We arrived at the resort late on our first night and this was our only option (but it still closed at 7pm...ON A SATURDAY!). We sat down at 6:45 thinking any bar and grill would be open until at least 9. However, they do get points because they were still willing put in our order of an appetizer, two entrees and two drinks (and didn't even rush us). Unfortunately, the points stop here. Even for resort food, this was bad. Chili cheese fries were somehow flavorless (how is that even possible), the casing on my friend's hot dog was so tough, it was hard to bite and my burger was so-so. The lava flows, while having barely any detectable level of alcohol, tasted good and so did the onion rings, but that's about it.
(2)Kristy N.
The food is mediocre, service is slooooowwwww. It is a nice place to go for a drink as the views are nice watching the dolphins and great view of the lagoon. Everything we ordered was very poor quality and expensive. I don't mind paying high prices and expect high prices at resorts but I want food that tastes good.
(1)Grace C.
After strolling around Hilton, we decided to eat at Lagoon Grill so we can continue to watch the dolphins swim and play beneath us (there was a 2 week old baby dolphin there at the time). Plus, we could watch watch the sunset after eating dinner. Food: Though they give you a good amount of food, the quality is meh. The kahlua pork was dry. The cripsy korean chicken had decent flavor and texture. Price is adequate for what you get compared to the pricier restaurants in the area. I would still prefer to go to Sansei Seafood.
(2)Josh B.
If you stay at the Hilton Waikoloa, you will eat here. You can't avoid it. Location good, convenience good, friendly, fun, beach adjacent. Food is actually pretty good, it's basic lunch fair with some flair. Burgers are actually pretty tasty - go for the burger. Biggest knock on this is the service can get slow when it's crowded at peak times. This is your lunch place if you are at the lagoon or pool, and it works for what it is.
(3)GD S.
We started and ended our vacation with dinner and happy hour at the Lagon Grill. The location was right by the Lagoon Tower overlooking the ocean and dolphin exhibit and very convenient since we were staying in the Lagoon Tower. Food: We ordered the Mauka Makai Special for Two. Both sandwiches and the onion rings were basic but good. No complaints. 3 stars Drinks: Everyday they have a different drink on happy hour, both days it was a Lava Flow for $7. Mr. GDS ordered a virgin Lava Flow. Some complaint about the rest of the restaurants, there is little to no rum if any in their tropical drinks. Glasses of wine were half price durring HH. I would stick with wine or beer and skip the tropical drinks. 1 star Service. Both times our server was Ashley and she was excellent and even remembered our order. She didn't even mind when I used a ton of napkins to protect our food from the bugs while we ate. 4 stars Price/Value. Hamburger joints in Dallas are charging $15 for a basic hamburger and fries. Therefore, we did not feel the $40 total price tag for both the Kobe and Lobster burgers was too expensive for being in Hawaii overlooking the ocean. Also, if you buy the F&B card for $29.00 ($20 of which can be applied to your bill), you save 10% at all of the restaurants. 3 stars If you are looking for a quick and enjoyable dinner, the Lagoon Grill is a solid choice on the resort.
(3)Laughter a.
My son's grilled cheese sandwich was the only thing we ordered that any of us wanted to eat. I don't mind paying resort prices for mediocre food, but this was terrible.
(1)Aaron T.
Pick a seat down by the dolphins. Also just seat yourself they don't really tell you that and they will let you walk around like an idiot.
(4)Anna T.
Drinks were good. Burgers and fries were good. Bartender was friendly and view was great.
(3)Rebecca D.
Lobster burger was not good. My husband said it was "nasty"...but he still ate it, so how nasty could it have been? My salad pita was light and tasty. The burgers ordered by friends were decent. The drinks were delicious. The setting was nice, with water views, but the flies came out full force by the end of our meal. It was nice to visit the Hilton resort for one meal since we had a 9 year old with us. We watched the dolphins for a few minutes and checked out the resort. If we have a child, there's a good chance we'll stay here in the future. I would never stay here without kids, though. Every square inch seems to be devoted to families.
(3)Edward B.
Solid burger when cooked medium rare - a bit shocking it didn't come with french fries or any side dishes. The service was solid and the views/ambiance excellent as you can see the man-made harbor and people snorkeling and swimming around as well as a waterfall in the background. Out of the casual options on the resort this place is a top choice.
(3)Ferdmeister V.
Having a 180 second cocktail and just chilling out! Great location across from Dolphin Quest so you can stay entertained while you grab something to eat and drink. I would not give the food here 5 stars since it is merely hotel food and nothing special really stands out of the menu. If you get hungry while hanging out by the pool or the beach then this is the fastest place to get a quick bite.
(3)Debbie H.
My husband and I are staying at the resort and didn't feel like driving out to get a late dinner. Wish we had found the Lagoon Grill sooner - it is the only restaurant on site we would visit again. I had a grilled chilcken salad which was delicious. While we didn't order a burger, many people did - they were big; as were the fries. The chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches also looked yummy - I may need to stop by and try one of those tomorrow.

Expensive and not worth it. If not for our 10 dollar coupons, we would have eaten elsewhere. Service is very good but the food is not that good. The lobster sandwich is also not good. it cost 25 dollars. No sides e.g. fries or chips at all.

We went to Lagoon Grill when we visited Dolphin Quest for our kids. The food came quite slowly. And when it did portions were so little compared to other places we ate before we did not feel full at all. It was more expensive then the other places we ate too. So, to us it was just ok. But probably we would prefer another place to eat next time.

We got drinks here twice and ordered food the second time during our vacation. Here is my breakdown... -Food: Mediocre. There is nothing special about it. The options are salads, sandwiches, and burgers -Drinks: Nothing special. It's a fully stocked bar with 5 or so beers on tap, wine, and a hand full of cocktail specialties -Happy hour: Everyday from 4pm-5pm. The beers on tap drop down to $4, wines are discounted, and they choose one cocktail for $7 (instead of the $11 full price). The first time we went the Coco Mo was the happy hour cocktail. It was delicious! The second night it was some banana drink that the waiter said was the worst one on the menu so I opted for something else. I wish they had a better happy hour deal but it is still better than nothing -Prices: Ridiculously high for what you get but it's the cheapest place to eat at the Hilton -Staff: Everyone that helped us was pretty nice but it does take them awhile to come around to your table. We told the bartenders we were ready to order and where we were sitting -Location: The only justifiable reason for ordering something here. This cafe/bar sits right next to the dolphin pool, waterfall lagoon, and ocean at the Hilton. The views are beautiful and relaxing and are the only reason why we ate here a second time -Recommendation: Get here at 4pm for a happy hour drink or two, order dinner or something small and enjoy the views, watch the sunset from this location or one of the nearby lawn chairs or hammocks, then watch the tiki torches be light by the fire runner (it's a really neat view)

This place is really only one of two places for a sit down lunch at the HWV, the other being boat landing & it has the best views but the food is mediocre at best, & our server was rude & unhelpful. I wouldn't waste my money again. On the flip side if you just want to sit at the bar & have drinks the bar staff were nice & friendly.

Good place for people watching as I made a little game out of finding people stashing food for later. There is just something entertaining watching someone guiltily look around, and as inconspicuous as possible, place croissants in a diaper bag. Shame on this place for turning law abiding parents into pastry smuggling thieves! Can't blame them though for trying to get a bit more value out of their $27... We went here for breakfast. It was our first morning at the Hilton, and we were starving so we decided to check the place out. The pricing is well done (from the business perspective, not the diners) so that even if you aren't a big eater almost everyone chooses the buffet. The buffet is $27, but an omelet with coffee is going run you pretty close to that. Not that I'm expecting greatness from a breakfast buffet, but this one is not worth it. It is basically a suped up continental breakfast with an omelet bar sitting in a good view.

Avoid this one. Expensive, very poor service, lousy quality food. I was at the Hilton for a conference and pretty much had to eat here twice and both times the experience was amazingly poor for a resort of this size and reputation. I ordered an Ahi burger and after 30 minutes of waiting they told me they were out of Ahi! Out of Ahi in Kona is like being out of sand at the beach. I got a cheese burger instead (comped) and it was dry and pedestrian. For $9.99 (fries not included) what a rip off...resort style.

2 stars for the views, at least if you're up near the sidwalk where you can see the crashing waves to the west, and the dolphins in captivity just below. Service was otherwise somewhat slow and not exactly polite/happy. Drinks were pricey and small portions (pina colada was outrageous). Fries were decent. This place is like a dumpy New Jersey grease spoon that has a bunch of lipstick on it and happens to be in Hawaii, with much higher prices and a disingenuous mahalo at the end of the meal.

The food was OK. I felt the burger was a bit over priced. There's no inside dining area. Not good during the afternoon when the sun is blazing hot. There's no fans nearby either so you'll be drenching in your own sweat while you're trying to enjoy your mediocre burger. That's pretty much all they have here. The view was great though!
(3)Jeanilee S.
The service here sucked (_(_). It seemed like our waiter was in a rush to take our order, and looked like he was ready to run off before I could even ask if the burgers came with fries (which they dont). On top of that, they dont give you napkins when they give you your food, you have to bug them for some before they scurry off again to ignore you some more.

Welcome to the Hilton are you starving and don't have a reservation eat here....and enjoy the sunset is what the desk clerk told us upon our check-in...A word of warning this was hands down the worst meal of our 10 day trip....my chicken teriyaki sandwich tasted like the chicken had been precooked & then zapped in a microwave, part was frozen, part was lukewarm and worst yet it tasted like the chicken going bad. I ate the onion rings and the pineapple. Hubby had a burger that was ok. We both ordered drinks...my Mai Tai was so awful I stopped after two sips. The waiter did stop back to see if we needed anything, after my husband was done eating and offered to bring me something else- I told him I'd filled up on onion rings - to his credit he did remove my meal from the bill. Hubby looked at my full drink and said why are you being picky, the booze isn't bad? . I told him to drink it- he took one sip and said that is the worst Mai Tai ever & there it sat long after we paid & vowed not to eat here again on our trip.

Wow, what is up with all the negative reviews about the restaurants in the Hilton Waikaloa Village? I came here with my manager on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. I ordered the teriyaki chicken sandwich and small side salad. It was $20. My manager ordered a hamburger, small side salad, side of french fries and a Miller Lite and his total was $20. This is great considering I paid $18 for a Cesar salad with a little bit of chicken the night before. Nancy was our server and she was great. Very attentive, quick to refill our waters and took care of our every needs. We sat at a table with a perfect view of the dolphins. The weather was great, food tasted good and we were very happy with the experience. Our experience was so great on Tuesday, we returned for lunch again on Wednesday. I ordered the vegetarian summer rolls and small side salad and my manager ordered his burger, side salad, side of french fries and two Coors Light. The total came to $40. We had a different server today who was also attentive. We sat at a table right next to the dolphins and watched the trainers play with them. I definitely give this place two thumbs up. It's definitely a nice place to have lunch and you can't complain about the cost of food when you're in Hawaii. You definitely can't complain about the cost of food if you're staying at the Hilton Waikaloa Village at $225 a night.

My Mahi was small and over cooked. Also, not fresh caught. However my companions liked their broiled chicken and Ahi sandwiches. Service was good and prices typical of the Islands.

if you are eating here you don't expect a bargain or a great value - do you? You are eating here because you are enjoying the Hilton resort and this place has a great location and good food. Expensive but good casual food and service. Nice view of the dolphins too. Our first day here but sure they will get us back - we will eat at some less expensive places of course We had the ahi tuna burger , veggie wrap , cold summer rolls and more and it was all good. Fries and onion rings too Lots of food choices for non meat eaters They validated valet parking too.

One word: OVERPRICED. But I guess that's expected at a resort. What is not expected is to pay $19 for a burger with no sides or drink. I even had to pay extra for cheese. The drinks are $14 and come in like half a cup as well. The food is nothing special but service was okay. All in all, what you're paying for is the dolphin center next door and the location. If you want a good quality meal for the price, I'd go somewhere else.

Great views. Horrible prices. Oh and my bacon burger--please bring the bacon w it. Total miss on that easy oversight. Girlfriends 12 dollar drink that didn't have an oz of booze? That's unforgivable!

Yikes! I'm fine with a place offering terrible food, but what is unacceptable is terrible at ridiculous prices. We paid $50 for an awful lobster burger and a veggie wrap with fish. My wife said the lobster burger was one of the worst things she has ever had and my veggie wrap was so bland that it didn't even taste like food. The whole Hilton resort should be ashamed at how they nickel and dime their guests. Don't ever eat here.

Best eatery in Hilton resort, but that isn't a huge accolade. Good burgers, but fries are separate and cost extra. Beer and mixed drinks are pricey! Nice view of lagoon and dolphin pool area.
(2)Kaaren D.
The best thing about this outdoor cafe is the view of the dolphin pool. Expect to pay a lot for the not so great selection of not so great food. I got a veggie quesadilla that was just ok, but served the purpose: a quick snack and validation for our parking.

We both ordered "The Big Salad" plus a chicken breast on the menu for $18 each. Came in a plastic box with lettuce, tomatoes and a chicken breast so small and dry. Expected a lot more from a restaurant at a nice resort like this.
