While staying at this Marriott a coworker and I grabbed drinks here one evening. The bartender was friendly and helpful. They have a nice selection of wines and make all the typical cocktails. This was an enjoyable visit. read more

I got the fish and chips. I honestly cannot believe the portions. I thought for sure since COVID has happened you don't get your bang for your buck. But wow, just wow. The portions were fantastic. It was peaceful, sitting outside even at then of July in FL it was really nice out. Sitting in the shade and the breeze from the water was nice. The service was wonderful quickly and easy. read more

My family and I ate here while in town with some friends who live close by. We made a reservation and were seated promptly near the window overlooking the back of the hotel. There was only one other party in the establishment at the time, but I just chalked that off to being a Thursday night at the hotel. Our server was very attentive during the entire experience. We started by ordering cocktails and a carne flatbread. The flatbread was enough for four adults to share a preliminary bite. It was fine, however I think I would opt for one of the others next time. I definitely recommend trying the Sawgrass Splash (house cocktail). My main course was the day's fresh catch, which was halibut with roasted potatoes and green beans. I will say that it was tasty, but the only drawback was the portion size. I feel that it was a little small for a $45 plate (main reason why I didn't give 5 stars). The Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake was my favorite part of the meal. It was very fresh and perfectly portioned, with two pieces of sponge that were not overly sweet, orange slices and semi sweet whipped cream. In all, it was a pleasant evening and I would eat here again when I come back to Sawgrass. read more

Horrible. Fish undercooked. Frozen veg. Dank atmosphere. Do not even bother. And the menu is right out of the 80s. Save your money and order out. read more

Great friendly employees, especially the bartender. Sat at the bar for a quick meal. The menu was unimpressive for being located on a high-end golf resort, but I guess golfers aren't into near Michelin or Michelin cuisine. It was basically a sports bar menu. Drink coupons were give to guests, but read the fine print, well cocktails only. I, of course, went with a cocktail on the menu, which wasn't covered. Had the fish & chips along with the shrimp cerviche. Sadly, the result was a bad case of gastrointestinal distress that lasted over a day, ruining my two night stay at the resort. I'm thinking it was the cerviche, which obviously no one on Yelp wants to know the details of. If golfing there, stay away from the ceviche. And before I get in-beforehand, I've had ceviche frequently, from Miami, to Mexico, to San Francisco, never any problem with it before. So, I'm not making a hard connection, but caveat emptor. But, just to reiterate, the bartender was friendly and quick with mine and others orders. High end decor and a view of the lake. But you can do better. Cerviche isn't rocket science. And you're a resort, add something to the menu that isn't bar food, unless they didn't give me the full menu... read more

So I kept hearing about this Vernon's restaurant, seen them out at some local food events and thought their food was pretty dang good. I finally got the chance to check them out one Sunday afternoon for their famous themed brunches with a friend who invited me out. This Sunday it was Parisian-themed. We valet-parked and walked into the hotel. Bearing right was the entrance to Vernon's, elevated with a partial view of the lake and grounds behind the hotel. This place is fancy. There was some live music from a three-piece band performing, but I couldn't understand why because the floors above had hotel rooms. I mean, I really enjoy my piece and quiet on Sunday mornings but I don't know how any of those patrons to stand it. My friend had told me she checked-in at the hostess stand and they were cleaning off the table, but it took like 15 mins to do so. We eventually believed that they were understaffed for servers and bussers with the amount of people coming and going. Some tables sat un-bussed our entire visit and well past when Vernon's closed. Geez. We were finally sat, ordered bottomless mimosas, and beelined it to the buffet. That was a mighty-fine buffet. The Parisian items included Madam Croquette, French Toast, Steak & Frites, Croque monsieur, French-style scrambled eggs and more. In addition to some of these items I also grabbed some peppered bacon, crab claws, and shrimp, and a small salad. Not really knowing if they start taking stuff away before the buffet shuts down I went ahead and grabbed a second plate of desserts, from flourless chocolate cake to minibar donuts and baby tarts. They also had made to order omelettes and crepes but I didn't partake in those. I had enough food to go through. We chit-chatted while we ate and no one made us feel rushed. Everything tasted amazing and not a crumb was left behind. The service didn't start out too well but by the time the meal was over it had greatly improved. I would want to return to try some of their other brunch themes. read more

I can't say enough about this new menu. Themed Brunch until 2pm every Sunday. Every 5th Sunday is Chef's Choice menu. Today was 'Pacific Rim' a creative Philipino menu from Chef Antonio Llaneta and Chef Melanie Cuartelon. The whole roasted Pig was the show stopper! It was moist, tender and delicious! There was a Pancit and fried rice station offering a cooked to order. Kare Kare was my favorite! Oxtail that fell off the bone, in a savory comforting gravy . Poke Bowl, beef short ribs, garlic rice,lumpia, Afritada, sweet and sour snapper, Pan de sol to name a few. Desserts included: Cassava, tropical fruit salad, flan , ube pancakes with coconut syrup and Buko Pandan cookies. The kids station included: philipino spagetti, mini pancakes and cute rice krispie sushi( treats with gummy fish on top, adorable!) For 2, $53+tip. Service is outstanding and friendly. Food is delicious and grounds are immaculate. Highly recommend. 1/4/2020: update: new management and staff. Was great food and service. However, the bread selection was severely lacking. Not a deal breaker, but I was always looking forward to the baked breads and local Jams :( read more

Vernon's is one of my favorite places for Sunday brunch buffet. Each week is a different theme. This week's theme was flavors from the Mediterranean, featuring a rack of lamb carving station, a salad bar (with a killer octopus pasta salad), seafood, a made-to-order omelet and pasta station, and a kids-only buffet for the most discerning of tastes in your family. Served every Sunday from 10a-2p. Check them out inside the Sawgrass Marriott read more

Vernon's Soulful Sunday brunch buffet was fantastic aside from the fact that they didn't have the basic grits, sausage and scramble trio, it was on point on every level. The buffet presented well, and each time I walked up to the buffet bar it wasn't messy or in shambles. The food was excellent. Everything I tasted was delicious: collard greens, crab claws, shrimp, gourmet pepper bacon, hummingbird pancakes, pineapple sauce, red velvet cupcakes, standing roast beef and breakfast casserole. There was also an omelet station complete with what looked like everything. The restaurant was clean and bright overall. Our seats were heavy and very comfortable although a little dingy. Our server was absolutely incredible. The bonus that I won't soon forget was the Chris Thomas Trio. Oh, my goodness, this ensemble heightened the experience. The music and the vocals were tight, rich and soulful. Everybody was grooving to the beautiful music and couples were on the floor dancing at one o'clock in the afternoon. The grand finale was this cute couple that stepped with the most elegant swing to the band's last song. Soulful Sunday Brunch at Vernon's was a special treat. read more

Inside the Sawgrass Resort, you will find Vernon's First Coast Kitchen. We made reservations for 6:30pm on a Saturday Evening. We get to the restaurant and there was no one to great us. We were sat but a waiter, that sat us at a corner table away from others in the restaurant. Definitely felt isolated. Our waitress couldn't really answer any of our questions about the menu. I asked " how many ounces was the New York Strip and the Grilled Pork Chop", and she had no idea. For an "upscale" resort restaurant, this is something you should know. We ordered the grilled octopus for a starter and it was delicious. Along with the slight spicy mustard sauce I was wanting more! My Grilled Pork Chip (14 oz) was pretty damn good. Tender and packed with flavor! Overall the food was great but the service needs work. read more

Very rude response when I politely asked if they were still open at the bar. It was 8:45 & it says online that they close at 10. It was a girl & guy bartender that looked like they were doing all but working & were very obviously flirting with one another & irritated that I showed up. She let out a huge sigh when I asked & he said "just go downstairs" in a very rude tone. I saw another couple sitting down in the restaurant which is why I asked. All they had to do was answer the question politely & it would have been understood & appreciated. read more

Had breakfast here two mornings in a row. Opted both mornings for the breakfast buffet - which includes an Omelette Bar. I ordered a custom omelette both mornings: Spinach, mushrooms, onions, scallions, fresh jalapeños (not pickled or brined), cheddar cheese, and sausage. Omelette was cooked in butter and was excellent both times! I added a side of their Applewood smoked bacon and some berries: red and black raspberries and blueberries, a bit of smoked salmon. One morning I also noted they make their own corned beef hash. So I had to try it. Wow - is it ever tender, tasty, and succulent! Almost melts in your mouth! Some of the best corned beef hash I've had in a long time. Coffee was decent, service was excellent both times. read more

My first visit to Vernon's for my daughter's birthday. The venue is beautiful, modern, and upscale. As a plus the Chris Thomas band played throughout our brunch experience what a treat. The buffet was amazing. I enjoyed their grits with braised beef and gravy, their New Orleans eggs which has an egg over easy with veggies and french fries, further down the buffet was a green bean casserole, red beans and rice and of course beignets. The seafood table included jambalaya and a low country crayfish boil with horseradish on the side. Their dessert bar included mini versions of a whip Banana Foster, donut, bourbon pecan torte and buttercream cupcakes. Apparently each Sunday is a different thing. This Sunday was Jazz and Art with the Jazz provided by the Chris Thomas band and the art was shown at the children's table, yes there is a separate children Buffet. Really loved this idea. There are children favorites available there like macaroni and cheese, a pancake station, and for the art inspiration, Rice Krispie treats dipped to look like paint brushes how creative! read more

We stopped in to enjoy the breakfast buffet at Vernon's. The cost is $23.00 per person and offers everything to build the perfect breakfast experience. The restaurant is lovely and offers a beautiful view of the waterfalls. Chris was our waiter and he was on top of his job making our experience perfect. We also interacted with the buffet Chef. Matthew was outstanding in every way. He is not only a masterful Chef but also extremely personable. read more

The next morning, after a restful night's sleep at the Sawgrass Marriott, I headed down to the lobby and discovered that Vernon's Restaurant was serving a flat-fee, all-you-can-inhale breakfast buffet for under $20. The restaurant has a big picture windows with a beautiful view out over the golf course. Most of the golfers were up early, and so the restaurant was not as crowded. The buffet was amazing with big bowls of fresh fruit, freshly-made buttermilk biscuits with sawmill gravy, homemade corned beef hash, all sorts of breakfast meats (bacon, ham, sausage), scrambled eggs, omelets cooked to order, cheese platters, charcuterie, pancakes, waffles, juices, and more. The selection of food was enormous for a typical week-day brunch. The chefs behind the buffet were very pleasant, and the servers were circulating around the dining room, refilling drinks, and whisking away empty plates. This was a very enjoyable experience, and a great way to start my day on the outskirts of Jacksonville. read more

Ate here while staying at the Sawgrass Marriott. I'm not sure why else you would eat here. It is fine for a hotel restaurant, both nothing too special. The place was absolutely dead when we were there -- I was almost surprised they were open. I had some type of dish billed as "meatloaf" that was actually more like beef brisket. It wasn't bad, but the meatloaf name was a bit misleading. read more

My boyfriend and I came to stay at the Sawgrass Marriott for a mini vacation. We made dinner reservations at a bar downtown and decided to stop at the Wine bar at Vernon's. I was blown away by the friendless of the bartender and how nice the atmosphere was. We were starting a conversation with Steven, our bartender and happened to mention we were vegan- he immediately told us we were in luck because one of the chefs is a specialized vegan chef and told us to wait so he can bring out Chef Riley. Riley was so nice and accommodating- basically anything we wanted he could cook for us. Even a three course meal! We said we wanted to be surprised and we were blown away! Basically I am so happy we canceled our reservations and stayed at our own hotel! As we closed out our tab, Riley mentioned he would be working the following day and can specialize breakfast, lunch or dinner all VEGAN! We were thrilled and had a vegan lunch at the Alice and Pete pub downstairs. Our meals included - Crispy artichoke in a creamy pesto sauce Cream of mushroom & cauliflower soup with sweet potatoes Spinach and artichoke Dip Black bean and beat burgers with smoked Gouda cheese, bbq tomato sauce and lemon rosemary French fries- Strawberry cheesecake with raw nut crust... AMAZING! Thank you for all the great service! read more

My wife and I stopped by this restaurant in the Sawgrass Marriott Resort Hotel to find a new place for breakfast and to try their breakfast buffet. Unfortunately we were very disappointed by the quality and quantity of the food. The buffet is basically scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon and sausage links. Their is a small area for fresh fruit and a pastry section as well as an omelet station. I'll describe each one separately. starting with the "hot items" mentioned above that were anything but hot; at best they were luke warm to down right cold. The omelet station was good but all the ingredients were behind a wall so you could not even see what the options were but I asked for what I wanted and omelet was decent. The pasties consisted of plain toast, bagels and croissants, none of which tasted fresh, the croissants were stone cold (no attempt to keep them warm or fresh). They did have a few other dried out looking pastries and my wife tried the chocolate muffin and it was as it looked, cold and dry. Service was okay but waitress tried to take my plate when I still had food on it and before I finished eating and without first asking me if I was finished with it. I had called the day before and was told the buffet cost $20 per person but when I got the bill it was $23 per person with no explanation for the increased cost when I questioned it. This cold, dry meal certainly was not worth the price. OBTW the nice view of the golf course and lake must have been taken from a different portion of the hotel (it appeared to be from the lobby) as what we had was a view of a dirty, wet roof. Also, if you are interested in the wait staff wearing masks, all of them did but they all were worn to protect their chins as most masks were not covering their mouth or nose so they were a waste of effort. A total disappointment and one that we will not repeat as there are numerous other restaurants in the area with much better food that is fresh and hot; service that is efficient; and a much more reasonable price. read more

This was our typical hotel buffet that we have done hundreds of times. The views of the falls and tropical vegetation is special and the nice guy from Guam who makes delicious omelets was a plus. Several of the fresh fruit choices were not ready for consumption. The cantaloupe, honeydew and pineapple were not ripe enough. The bacon had to be cooked again, the sausage was OK. the cheese grits were tasty. Our server was almost hovering and we didn't miss much here. Because it was early, we had this nice place to ourselves and had time to savor our coffee. read more

My wife and I are kinda food snobs and are always on the lookout for new places to try for dinner. While looking on open table I came across Vernon's and after checking out a few reviews I decided to give them a chance. Wow what a great find. Parking was a breeze and the atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting and its design and furnishings are done to high level. Our server Alban was outstanding and clearly loves his job and took care of us like he owned the place. The food was excellent. We started out with a charcuterie board and then selected the filet with grilled vegetables. I haven't had better food and service in a long time. I would absolutely recommend Vernon's and will definitely come back. Tim and Yvonne read more

I'm giving this 3 stars because of certain things that happen during our meal. But the food is definitely five star. The first thing that happened is one of our party ordered the small Caesar salad and what arrived at the table was a small head of romaine lettuce which is a small hearts of romaine salad. When they asked the server if this was the Caesar they were told yes. However, another in our group ordered the romaine salad and it was the identical thing. We never got our Caesar salad. The second thing that happens was one of us was taking a sip of wine and the server put a plate down and knocked the wine glass into the person's mouth, causing her to cut her lip. The server was apologetic but did not do anything to accommodate her. No free glass of wine, no free dessert, nothing off the total check. So she ate her meal with a cut and swollen lip This restaurant is in the lobby of the Sawgrass Marriott. I would say avoid it, as it is overpriced, way overpriced and you can drive down a1a and find wonderful restaurants north to Jacksonville and south to St Augustine. Otherwise just eat in the pub. read more

Vernon's was the perfect end to a perfect day with my four favorite workmates. After a long day of work, we were glad to eat a wonderful meal at our hotel and not have to drive to find a good restaurant. The service was amazing - Lou was fantastic. The food was incredible. I had the black grouper which they were kind enough to sub out rice for potatoes. Great wine and margaritas. Delicious filet. And truly, this dinner = a wonderful life. read more

Good food. Amazibg service by the server name Lou. Various drinks ready. I got nothing more to ask after a long day. Strongly recommended!

The restaurant has a nice, updated atmosphere that is both cozy and modern. I like the open floor plan, but the place was empty when we dined. I might not like it as much if it had been busy. I liked all of the food we ordered. I got the roasted beet salad, sea scallop dish, and the cucumber cooler cocktail. I was satisfied with each item. J had the pan seared golden tile fish, along with asparagus and broccolini. Everything tasted great. I would rate the food a 3.5 to a 4. The service was friendly and prompt. read more

Excellent buffet breakfast bar, delicious food and great presentation. Service was excellent.

I almost didn't try this place - I just got into the hotel (Sawgrass Marriott Resort) last night and wanted to get some lunch today, but the woman at the hostess desk asked if I had a reservation and then said they don't have any openings until later. She wasn't very personable at all and really put me off, but I decided to make a reservation and try back in a little while. I'm so glad I did! The food was amazing, the service was impeccable (except for the hostess), and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. It was a buffet brunch - salads, fruit, potatoes, artichoke and green bean dish, purple grits, bacon, cornflake crusted french toast, grilled grouper, rice, omelet station, carved beef, and a full dessert spread with cupcakes, pecan bites, bourbon chocolate chip bread pudding, banana mousse, and more were available. Just absolutely delicious; everything I had was amazing! My waitress was so nice, very attentive, and made the experience so much more enjoyable. Could not be happier with my experience! read more

We just discovered Vernon's for Sunday brunch and have been here 4 times since they started this brunch rotation a couple of months ago. Mrs T. puts on an incredible brunch every week. One week is Mediterranean, the following is Soulful, then Art and Jazz, and last but not least is Farm to Table. The brunch is all you can eat for $25 for adults and $8.50 for children over 6. In addition to the innovative dishes you will enjoy live music, a children's corner with weekly crafts and kiddies meals, seafood bar, and fully stocked dessert table. This rivals any brunch from our foodie home town of Chicago. All this while you overlook a serene resort setting. read more

Not only was there a great menu, fantastic wine selection, and a pleasant ambiance, the service was outstanding. Our hostess was warm and welcoming, providing us several seating options.

I will certainly recommend it to friends in the area as well as resort guests coming to the area. We'll be back! read more

I chose Vernons based on the reviews I have read, many of which seem to be on the plus side. Our party of 8 is a monthly dinner group and the reviews were sort of mixed. We began with drinks at the bar and during happy hour drinks with hosue brands are actually a good value. I ordered a drink with Tito's and my wife ordered a prosecco. Was surprised the bill was $23 before tip! Others in the party ordered happy hour branda and paid around $10 for two drinks. The bar, at least during the time we were there, was understaffed and it took forever to get our orders in as the bartender was managing a table of 10 women along with another 10 at the bar. so service was rathger slow and he was not very attentive. Around 6:15pm he did get help and service picked up. The ambiance is quite nice. Comfortable seating a wonderful view by the windows which overlook a small lake and waterfalls. It was also amazingly quiet as the restaurant was not full. Maybe because our group eats earlier than most. Reservations were at 6:00PM and we left the bar aat about 6:25PM. Most of the group enjoyed their meals. The filet, while a bit on the small side, (could they spare it?), was flavorful. Although if you're going to serve steak a 1/2 mile down the road from Ruth's Chris, you should at least be competitive on portion size. the Grouper (Tender and flakey) was enjoyed by two folks however a third thought it was overcooked and dry, there was more rice than anything else & the whole dish was rather bland. The special was a pan seared flounder and that person said the portion was actually too large to finish but the dish was quite tasty. Two of us had the frutti de Mare which include scallops, prawn and lobster. I have to say the seafood was had excellent flavor albeit bordered on slightly under-cooked. The seafood rested on a bed of bucatini in a cream sauce which was tasty but a bit too thick and heavy. The wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Withe a party of 8, the service charges were included in the bill and they happily provided separate bills for each couple. In the end, Vernon's is worthy of a second chance. Mt three star rating may be hard on Vernon's but I tend to be a low star grader unless a place is exceptional. read more

Last night our family reunion dinner for 13 was incredibly disappointing. We had a private room, as we usually do at Vernon's, great service, but the food was awful.

Nothing special though I am not a coniseur of such. Good though. Another oyster app had a chili touch which I liked better. Not real large oysters but ok. Several glasses of Reisling just right. Sparkling water which I prefer, is kept adequate level. Scallops were 4 nice size w same ravioli. Excellent. Dessert strawberry shortcake. Good but not more. Cappuccino latte...real good. Cost $100 was fair read more

Had to stay at the hotel for dinner instead of joining my group at another dinner. Vernon's is a nice enough looking place that suffers from trying to beef up mediocre ingredients. I tried the chowders, the blackened grouper, conch fritters, and carpaccio, and sadly nothing stood out. The service was very nice but not enough to improve the experience here. My recommendation....go out to eat. read more

Very nice ambiance, cozy and woody. Great view onto the golf course and water. Our waiter was knowledgable, charming, and recommended well after we told him what we couldn't eat. They had a very tasty soup bar, the beet salad was fresh, and our entrees were very tasty. The asparagus and the broccolini were crispy and bright green.The desserts were also very good.
