They do a 3 course meal and the portions were great for the cost. We started off with the Pea soup and wedge salad, and got free focaccia bread made in house. Then we decided to try the lamb and NY strip - very good, but warning the lamb has some strong marinade. Finally we got the chocolate fudge cake and chocolate coconut cake - rating those 7/10. The fudge was definitely better. The service was fast, friendly, and very personal. We went on Valentine's Day so it was packed, and still had our food order taken and served very quick. Loved the vibe, will warn that vegetarian options are not really available though if that's what you're looking for!

My bartender was friendly, and made a great drink for me. The atmosphere is just a nice hotel bar, and nothing fancier. There were a couple TVs, and the immature me had to watch SpongeBob SquarePants. It's located at the Hilton, and parking is free. For a strong old fashioned costing 8 dollars during happy hour is a steal, especially at a higher end hotel. I'm so glad I'm staying here and took advantage of this deal. This helped me make my evening when I am becoming my own worst critic. Overall: A+

The service is a 5 star and the food is Michelin star quality. I was not able to do the omakase (can't imagine how great that is cause my wife does not eat raw.

I made a reservation and we arrived on time. We stood in the front awkwardly for about 10 minutes while the host and the host that she was training bickered about where they were going to seat us. The manager caught onto what was happening and did offer us a starter to compensate for that, which was nice. Unfortunately the service still felt lacking throughout. I saw my drink sit at the bar for quite a while while my husband sipped his beer. The server was super sweet, but not as attentive as I'd expect especially since it wasn't busy. The fish tasted fresh and mostly everything was really good. My favorites were the drama queen roll, the blood orange akami, and the truffle unagi roll. I wouldn't get the truffle enoki mushrooms again- the texture was off (chewy/stringy). The cocktail I got was the nori margarita and didn't feel it was anything special. The glass and straw it was served in was kind of throwing it off for me. I'd go a different drink route next time. I liked the vibe of the restaurant and felt like the ambience was great for date night. It had a sexy feel. I wish there was music or if there was I didn't notice it, because I could hear everything the table next to me was saying. They also brought a refreshing treat for my husband's birthday. We'd be open to coming back.

They invite everyone to join them. It's also great place to meetup with friends and enjoy a walk on one or more trails. All the trails are covered by trees. If it rains a lot at least one of the trails is impassable but you still have other choices. Pros: * Lots of trails to choose from with lots of different levels of difficulty * A nice size picnic area - approximately 8 tables available * A couple of small gazebos (in case it rains) * A nice assortment of plants along the paved walking area * A nice Christmas event Cons: * limited restrooms - available only at the front entrance and sometime the men's needs maintenance

The new manatee habitat is gorgeous, and allows people to enjoy these gorgeous mermaid potatoes while they're treated and rehabilitated.

There was an "art in the park" event so it was wonderful to see local artists set up to sell their creations. One downside of the new entrance is that the walk from the entrance to the tigers is very laborious, with no restrooms, water stations, or shade. It's not bad when it's not crowded, but I can imagine how terrible it will be when summer hits. It would have been nice if the walkway was had an overhead canopy of bamboo. It's also a very industrial area, interesting in a "behind the scenes way" (but completely out of harmony with the rest of the motifs of the zoo). Please note that the zoo is now 100% cashless, and there's a huge discount if you buy your tickets online in advance (or you risk paying up to 40 per base ticket). Overall I love the zoo, I can't wait to see their continued growth, I just wish their new walkways were more considerate of pedestrians and the mercurial weather of Florida.

Sadly, this location has seemingly given up on all but price increases…read more When I made the decision to move to San Mateo Estates was because of price and amenities. As I was signing in to the park, I was notified of a substantial price change across the entire campground. Roughly 30% or more as I recall. Shortly after that, both cable/satellite tv went out and so did their wifi. Very little has been done to correct either. When I contacted Lori in the office, she stated that nobody was willing to come out to fix it due to the pandemic. That doesn't account for them paying their vendor for cable/sat AND wifi but the end user cannot use. Couple that with the water or electricity being off multiple times per month with no explanation. Don't try calling these events in to the office as they won't be taking your call, nor replying to your voice messages. I have personally requested a copy of my monthly statement for my records but I have never received such after several months. To say the least, I am frustrated with the lack of care and compassion when it comes to customer service and if I can find suitable affordable arrangements near by, I will be leaving like so many others have already done.
