"Food was wonderful. Ate here twice. Friendly host and seated right away, but then service was extremely slow and unattentive. The 2nd time we went we were seated next to the doors leading out. A painter was painting them (at 7 p.m.!) And--we were right under the speaker, which was playing 80's dance music with a definite beat! Between the paint smell and the inappropriate dinner music, the atmosphere left something to be desired. We will come back because of the view and the good food. I just hope they can get some better music by then!"

"Very enjoyable, especially the ability to eat and carry on a conversation without having to compete with crowd noise. Food prepared as ordered, service timely and friendly without being over bearing and views are great."

"We had an early reservation and slow played a course-by-course dinner. Our server did a great job and worked with us to make sure we weren't rushed. The food was very good - the tartare app was good and the grilled prawns were excellent. The Caesar salad was very good and the filet and lamb were excellent. To cap off the night off we shared a cheese course (very generous portion) with a glass of port. Finally we enjoyed a piece of cheesecake which was very, very good. My only hope is that they'll improve the wine list over time (although it is much better than what was offered at Josie's). All in all it was a very enjoyable experience and I look forward to dining there again."

"We went for brunch on Mother's Day and found the food enjoyable and the ambiance delightful ... but then, we dine at the Resort often. You can choose a la carte service or the buffet. I wanted Eggs Benedict, which was on the a la carte menu, but I also wanted the fruits and goodies on the buffet. Our server accommodated us with a "side" order of one Egg Benedict, which was very delicious. We look forward to trying this as a steakhouse once the construction is complete. Only "down side" was slow/forgetful service and a bored hostess who seated us at a tiny table right in the pathway to the buffet. I'm sure she did this to avoid seating two at a four-top by the windows, but it was 10 a.m., few people there, and we had reservations. We moved."

"Our server (Jeff) was awesome and made our dining experience better. The food was good for the price, would be great if they reduced their pricing but with the view you get they probably won't. The pricing is what you expect at Bob's or Capital Grille but the food is not on par."

"We had dinner there both nights and were very pleased with the quality of both the food and the service. On each occasion we enjoyed the dinner specials… Friday was the sea bass and Saturday the pork chops. Quincy was a fantastic waiter and we look forward to eating there again during our next visit."

"Facility is in transition with new owners. Renovations are beginning soon and the rest rom for the restaurant are temporarily closed and custmers must go sownstairs through a conference room to access the banquet area rest rooms. if a conference or meeting is in session you would have to walk through the back of the room. Wait and kitchen staff are not in alignment with stated service objectives. The food was quite good..but we were initially served the wrong salad, it was changed but then the main course came soon after the right salad was delivered. And the other salad was delivered without dressing. There were apologies for service galore but the inconsistencies were apparent at tables around us as well. Time will tell."

"The food was very good, the waitress was unable to articulate the steak and lobster special "its really good", our our waiter wiped on wine bottle dripping on his apron, ew! We had a blast anyway, the wait staff was kind just need more polish to make the experience classy. Our waiter told the diner's behind us to avoid the "hot jelly" dessert, we laughed but it seemed an insult to the chef."

"Our experience at Joseys was good. The food was good (not amazing.. But good). The restaurant staff were very friendly.
My only 2 disappointments were the menu and the length of time it took to get our meals out... (We only ordered a burger and a pasta and it took quite sometime).. I guess I felt a bit bored with what was on offer... My husband and I had lounged by the pool during the day and the same menu was offered. I think it would be nice to offer your guests some variety - maybe burgers/sandwiches, salads, fun appies for pool menu and then in the evening step it up with some pasta options, risotto?, different steaks, antipasto platter? Bruschetta, chicken in sauce with veggies? Seafood - maybe a nice fish (Just some quick ideas!!"
