    Lovely dining on patio as the boats went by. Nice selection of cocktails and wine. Salmon and scallops were delicious. Our server was courteous and allowed us to take our time.

    With the JW Marriott name attached to this restaurant, we thought it would be an upper-level dining experience. There was live music, which was REALLY loud, other guests were present with crying babies, and the delivery time for our orders was extremely long, even with the drinks. Maybe the service was short-staffed for the amount of guests? Regardless, we probably won't be visiting this restaurant again. The food was plentiful and tasty, though!

    First time we've tried the Sat buffet. Outstanding meal and value. The prime rib was especially wonderful.

    Very nice restaurant with a nice outside sitting area with several fire pits overlooking the large water where boats will drop you off at your restaurant.
