I ordered the crab spaghetti, which was really nice with a little heat from the red peppers. For desert we did the poached pear in a reduction that was to die for. A small scoop of ice cream and whip cream to tie all the flavors together. It was like Christmas. The staff were great. Very attentive and friendly.

There are great servers one night, but the next night you can get the likes of Joe and Jose. Jose peeked his head in our room (we had the wine cellar room with 10-14 people 2 nights in a row) First night with Chelsea and April rocked it, food was good too. No manager still ever checked on us. 2nd night after spending $1200 night before and spending $1600 the next night, we got a $200 wagyu steak placed down on top of dirty plates and apps that weren't cleared, table not reset, no steak knives, no side dishes. So i complained to Alexa. She's their GM.... She never came back. She never checked on us, she never said goodnight. They charged us for another steak they never brought. They finally brought everything else out, but the pastas were not nearly As good as night before. Also this guy Casey Smith who is the god and beverage director will not respond to emails. He pawns you off and takes the easy way out. Do yourself a favor and visit the hotel, and pool, and food court, but travel off site for dinner. Don't waste your hard earned money at Stretto where they could give 2 fucks.

Last night at the resort, I kept seeing the on site steakhouse and decided to check it out. At…read morefirst I was a little unsure about my attire, but then I reminded myself, girl you're at the beach, it's cold and raining... go enjoy yourself. Party of one and I was seated right away in the bar area. Charlotte was my server and she was great. I asked for her recommendations, which all sounded amazing, but I went with the grilled prawns, 6 oz filet, mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. Here's my honest breakdown: Grilled prawns 3/5. The first bite had that perfect charred, grilled flavor... so good. But the second one didn't hit the same. Steak 5/5. Absolutely buttery, tender, and honestly didn't even need a knife. Chef's kiss. Mashed potatoes 4/5. Really good, just a touch too much garlic for my liking. Brussels sprouts 2/5. This one disappointed me. The cheese wasn't melted and the glaze was way too sweet. I only managed a couple bites and left the rest, which says a lot because I love Brussels sprouts. Now let's talk about that bread and butter... chef's kiss all over again. Creamy, whipped, and just downright delicious. I would gladly take that to go. Overall, it's a solid, typical steakhouse experience. Nothing over the top, but definitely some highlights. One suggestion though... please add key lime pie to the menu. That should be a staple at any restaurant in Florida, just saying.

We asked for indoors to get my 89 year old friend and 3 other seniors out of the heat. We stood inside a bit No where to rest to get seated. They finally took us to a table. We were exhausted and hot. Waited 20 minutes no one came to our table to offer us drinks and welcome us. So one of us went to find someone. The manager came and took our drink orders mostly water on ice and had to wait on that . Manager also took our orders but was 50 minutes to get our food. We got lots of appetizers and meals and had to ask for utensils to eat . Our waiter didn't check with us. And we kinda took care of ourselves then had to run someone down to get our bill.. Only thing good was they sang to my 89 year old friend for her birthday.. we were by the door so it didn't cool off much . Mostly younger people that seam to be having a good time. . We even had to ask for utensils after the food came and they were walking away. After the meal we had to chase down our bill cause not much attention to our table. . We were sitting by a hot open door with lots of traffic and a wheelchair. If this in non season I would hate to come in season.

We ordered wings, big strawberry salad, loaded fried cauliflower, grouper, and a chicken breast sandwich minus the bread. The chicken was tender and good, the wings were not the best but ok, the cauliflower app was all around tasty and worth it, and the fish was pretty decent for a brewhouse.

There is a couples menu where you can share an appetizer and dessert and choose two different entrées for $55. However, that shared menu is a little bit limited for what we wanted. We decided to order the jazzy mussels as an appetizer and two pieces of their rendition of bang bang shrimp. The shrimp is per piece and they are fairly large; We decided to just have one each and it was probably the best thing on the menu. I could eat ten of those. It was very lightly breaded and the sauce was what you would expect; like a sweet and sour Asian sauce. The mussels, I was skeptical of, because I wasn't certain I would like the broth. However, they were actually really good. I don't typically prefer a southern style sauce, but it was done very well. It had pieces of Andouille sausage and lots of corn. Although it was tasty, the mussels were overcooked as you could see they were so shrunken in their shells and super salty. For dinner, I ordered the beef Wellington and it came out cut in half, face up, with gravy all over it. That's not my preferred presentation as I don't think the gravy was necessary. The steak was a nice piece and cooked to my liking. The puff pastry was crisp and there was plenty of mushroom paste inside. The gravy really turned me off though. I added salt and wished for no gravy. The green beans, which was my side vegetable, would be commonly overlooked at many restaurants. But I found that the green beans were crisp and delicious and well seasoned. The baked potato was standard fare; it was baked with a side of butter and sour cream, and it was really good. I love a good baked potato. It was not one of those huge baked potatoes that you find at some steakhouses where you can only eat half and take the rest home. It was a regular sized baked potato. We had a couple cocktails, the special whiskey sour, the Diana Krall, the Caribbean espresso, martini and some sort of lavender vodka Collins style cocktail, I can't remember the name. All of the cocktails were really good. The wine list looked like decent prices and some well-known bottles were very well priced. We opted against dessert as we were super full. Ambience was spot on with the jazz band playing in the background; we were still able to converse and did not have to yell. The restaurant was quite full as the night went on. This is a well liked place. Parking was easy, there's a lot out front with plenty of spaces. Bathrooms were simple yet clean. As I mentioned, we were well taken care of by our server. The cocktails were great. The food was good. I would recommend this place for the ambiance/music/cocktails and the shrimp appetizer. I'm sure there is something better on the menu that I could try next time- like a fish dish. My friend had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and was satisfied. 3.5/5 stars overall.

The view was beautiful, would probably be a great spot to watch the sunset! Boaters can also tie up to the dock. Even on a hot day, the breeze kept us comfortable, and plenty of shade from umbrellas over tables (unfortunately, ours was broken). I had to order the poutine, as a diehard poutine lover. At $18 for a small-ish plate, this was on the pricy end, BUT in fairness, the dish comes with a protein. I thought it skewed overly salty (maybe due to the cotija cheese topping), but ok. My friends had wings and pineapple steak tacos; overall, we were mostly satisfied but felt we paid for the view more than the food itself. I would be back for the vibes at sunset.

The only thing I'd mention is that it was a little chilly inside with the A/C, so I'd recommend bringing a hoodie if you're planning to dine indoors.

It was pretty hot by 1pm so we opted yo stay indoors. My husband & I both had the same thing-LR w fries. They are not New England style meaning they're served cold not hot mixed w mayo not butter. I didn't know that and I don't care much for mayo so this makes it 4 not 5 starts for me. The roll was toasted and lightly buttered which for me made it the highlight of the sandwich. The rolls came w hearty cut fries w the option of reg or Old Bay salt. We went regular but I bet OB is tasty too. The fries were well cooked good quality and nice and hot. The meal was served with a lemon half that had been grilled. Never had seen this before. Not quite sure what the grilling does but it was what seemed like a nice touch. This was one of the more expensive good options in Harbor Yard but it is lobster after all. We enjoyed it but would have preferred it not mixed with mayo. Still a tasty meal. Service was average.
