I made reservation on Open Table for 5 guests for noon today. We got seated at 12:25pm. The ambiance is amazing. The presentation of the dishes were quite nice. Rico was our server. He was maybe overwhelmed or something, but he was behind on water refills, bringing items such as my toast, powered sugar for my guest, etc... The food was tasty and good quality. Parking is wither valet or self parking. May try dinner in the spring time.

This review is on Sheena at Coliseum, Pool & Grill who was incredibly kind and helpful when I was unable to find anything on the menu that worked with my medical food allergies. Sheena went above and beyond to figure out what may work for me. She made a difficult situation a very positive one... Thank you Sheena!!

Came here on Christmas Day for an early dinner. We had a reservation. We arrived at 4:57 p.m. for a 5:00 p.m. reservation. We were told they would seat us closer to our reservation time. What? That's peculiar. At around 5:12, we noticed that other parties were being seated who arrived after us. A few moments later, the hostess approached us and asked us what our name was again. I think the mild glare I was giving might have registered. After that mishap, we were seated and everything was fine. If you like fish, this is probably a good restaurant choice. I ate the roast chicken, which was very tender. My husband, who does not eat fish or red meat, was extremely challenged, as there were only a few things he could eat on the menu. (He decided on the gnocchi; it was OK... I thought the sauce could have used a little more flavor.) My mum dined on the branzino; the orzo that accompanied it was tasty. I think you're mostly paying for the environment here; the setting is lovely overlooking the Pelican Hill pool. Would like to come back but perhaps in the afternoon. (They did have the heaters turned on in the evening.) 2024: 96/100

Incredible views from every seat. Staff was all very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. Cocktails were unique and very tasty. We also love they take dogs on the patio. Always a treat to bring our furry babies with us.

Came here for a friend's birthday brunch. The ambience is simply beautiful when you're looking out the balcony and seeing lush greenery and blue water. The staff is top notch and our server Adriana was wonderful. We ordered drinks which were nice and refreshing. For our entrees with ordered bruleee oatmeal, brioche french toast, wagyu burger, club sandwich, and avocado toast. The oatmeal had a nice caramelized top and had a variety of fruit and nuts that added a depth of texture and flavor. The oatmeal itself was sadly bland. The brioche french toast was nice and custardy. It was served with maple syrup that came in a sealed bottle which I appreciated. The wagyu burger was served in generous portions and was cooked as requested. It also came with a side salad that was fresh and crisp. The burger patty could use a bit more seasoning though. The club sandwich was delicious and came with a good amount of hot and crispy truffle fries. Avocado toast had plenty of flavor and was pretty filling. It was a great experience overall but improvements on some of the food items could be made.

We came in for some drinks after thanksgiving brunch at the golf club restaurant of this luxury resort. This pool side restaurant was serving thanksgiving brunch buffet too but at a slightly lower price. The bar was nice with extensive choices of alcohol. The cocktail menu was so good especially those coconut tropical drinks. Hubby and I decided on our usual Vesper martini and espresso martini. Both cocktails were very well made and great pours. The prices were reasonable for a five star luxury resort in my opinion. Our bartender was very friendly. I think this restaurant and bar is perfect for a nice sunny day to sit outside. I will definitely try one of those coconut drinks next time!
