"It could have been the fact that it was Sunday evening, but for what the reason, my expectations were not met. I ordered the "catch of the day" which was shrimp over pasta in a mild red sauce with spinach. My wife also had shrimp scampi, again a safe choice in coastal Georgia. In both cases the pasta was overlooked, gummy with non-descript sauces. The preparation of the shrimp was just OK, not nearly what you would expect from a restaurant as prestigious as the Courtyard. We ate brunch at the Club, so we were not overly hungry at dinner so we did not have an appetizer. The bread with the salad was offered with olive oil and balsamic vinegar but the bread was disappointing; soft crust, soft interior. The wait staff was very congenial"

"The Crane Cottage has an extensive menu. I ordered the NY steak and it was a generous portion cooked to perfection. My wife had the seafood over linguine and thououghly enjoyed it. The wine offerings will not disappoint and are served in large glasses.
An excellent choice for a romantic or family dinner in a quiet setting!"

"Amazing setting with well prepared dishes. We were a party of 7 with 2 young children well behaved children. They accomodated the range of likes and needs of us all. Main courses were all fantastic from steaks to seafood. I was not a fan of the lobster and crab Spring rolls. But, I failed to asked if they were fried and they were. The steak and Mahi Mahi were both fantastic!"

"The occassion was our 40th anniversary. We had a great experience, the atmosphere was perfect and the food exceptional. Our waiter took good care of us, even providing a free before dinner sparkling wine drink. Although we don't live close enough to visit regularly, we will make a return trip and dine at the Crane again in the near future. What more can you say about a great evening."

"We dined at the crane because the grand dining hall was unavailable. We sat outside initially, but it was a little chilly for two floridians to be comfortable. I ordered the shrimp and crab salad on croissant. I would have preferred the meat to be chunky rather than smooth. I would have preferred a flakier, softer croissant. The catch of the day was quite good. The waiters were kind."

"Went to Jekyll Island Club Hotel per a co-worker's recommendation for our wedding anniversary - selected Courtyard at Crane for it's convenience and didn't want to eat in the formal dining room.
It was a gem - absolutely couldn't have selected a better restaurant!! From the moment we walked in the staff took superb care of us - intimate seating by the fireplace and windows, complimenteary glasses of champagne, good suggestions on food choices, time left alone, chef's preparation of dishes - it was all top-notch! Even the key lime pie was one of the best we'd ever had! It was a perfect choice for the perfect evening - almost made us feel like we were back in the days of the original club for the elite!!"

"We were meeting friends from the North that we had not seen for 10 years and looking for a convenient, quiet place to catch up. The grounds are stunning, with the outdoor courtyard being just the place for a quiet lunch as well as providing the perfect opportunity to stroll around after a superb lunch."

Cooked perfectly, a large portion and absolutely delicious!!! The green bean medley served with both entrees was a delightful surpise. The filet was also cooked perfectly and quite good.
The setting & decor are so relaxing and beautiful. Service is very attentive but not intrusive."
