   We had a family dinner and had a very nice waiter but the food came out at a snails pace. It was so slow we had to have the entrees and appetizers served together. Lighting a little high and atmosphere could be better with lower lighting. Food quality was good but came out lukewarm which was surprising given the long wait. Salmon very good as was shrimp with risotto. Broccolini was dry and had little flavor. Drinks and wine were pricey but good list by the glass.

   We had made reservations in advance for a birthday and even though the weather forecasted a rainy day, we didn’t have the option to cancel it last minute. You’d think Ocean view restaurants would work best on a sunny day, but we were surprised at the gorgeous views with the rains. Heaters were set up asap, the blinds were drawn on request of the customers, it was still gorgeous. Service, food and drinks were at their best as always. Loved the time spent there!

   Pelican Hill Resort is an excellent place for lunch at The Coliseum Pool and Grill.

   Great setting. Food was decent. It seems they are always short staffed whenever we dine here. We had to wait 30 minutes for our table despite having a reservation. There were plenty of open tables but not enough staff to bus them. Our waiter was very nice but wasn’t able to provide the service commensurate with a 5 star hotel restaurant because of the staffing shortage. We brought a bottle of Tattinger Comtes 2012 to celebrate a recent home purchase. After pouring the champagne the bottle was just placed on our table. I had to ask another server for a bucket with ice to keep it chilled. With a $50 corkage fee, the champagne bucket with ice should be automatic. If they can just get their staffing in order I would give it a higher rating.

   I made a reservation weeks in advance. We were seated quickly when we arrived. Service and food were good as expected.

   I had the pleasure of being served by Jasmine during our lunch, and I can't say enough good things about her! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Jasmine was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our drinks were filled and checking in at just the right moments. She was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Not only was she professional, but her friendly demeanor truly elevated our meal. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her guests. Thank you, Jasmine, for making our lunch so special! We can’t wait to return!

   Such a lovely and memorable night! Cozy, relaxed, and fulfilling all around! The complementary valet was the cherry on top! Will be returning with a stay included :))
