    Well it was very expensive but the food was great even though I was not planning on spending that much money. Wanted to sit outside that's why I come there but it was shut down due to the wind .

    Was here a year and a half ago and it was excellent. Went back tonight for a special meal and food was terrible. Lobster was eh; steak was poor quality, extremely under cooked in the center (almost as if it was a frozen steak); pita from the mezze plate tasted/felt stale. A very expensive meal that was not worth it. Absolute waste of money.
    Area 31 - Epic HotelResponded on 22 October 2024
    Thanks for the review. We're really sorry to hear that your recent visit didn't live up to the standards you've come to expect from us. It's disappointing to hear that our lobster and steak didn't hit the mark and that the pita was not up to par. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future.

    I got sooooooo GYPPED, so the waiter claimed that they ran out of lobsters so he gave us 6 prawns that costed $120 instead of normal $50 for the plate. So the plate is supposed to be $50, he said no lobster.. So I thought the prawns will be a sub only (equal cost). No no no it wasn't. End up with a $350 bill (no alcohol)
    Area 31 - Epic HotelResponded on 22 October 2024
    We are truly sorry to hear about your experience. It's unfortunate to know that you felt gypped out due to the miscommunication regarding the lobster availability. We understand how frustrating that must have been, especially considering the prawns were meant to be a sub-only option. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and any inconvenience caused. We're taking your feedback seriously and will ensure this is addressed to avoid such instances in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to serve you better. Thank you for your feedback. Best, Area 31 - Epic Hotel Management Team

    We dined as a party of 4. The branzino and salmon entrees were not good at all. The branzino was dry and did not taste at all fresh. The Florida grouper dish was however good. Service was fine but prices were very steep and some portions were small. Would not return or recommend.
