The view of the property and mountains was very beautiful. However, our server was awful. She blamed us for being sat during her busy time of the night. We sat at the table for at least 20 minutes before ever getting our water. Then she took our order incorrectly. Said she didn’t hear that we said the pretzel bread and brought us 1 salad to split. The salad was good but our entrees were disappointing. The chefs chop choice was terrible. The steak was over cooked, fatty and chewy. The salmon was alright but you are definitely paying for the view not great food. Our rating would have probably been rated a little higher if we would have seen our server more often. We had to wait on our napkins and silverware. Didn’t even bring knives for the steaks. Also waited too long for refills.

I can appreciate innovative food as long as it taste good. My 12 oz flat iron steak was pitiful. I could have had better flavor at Texas Roadhouse. The house steak sauce was a cinnamon esq concoction that would have been fine to try and say Meh, then acquire some A1 or other sauce. They had nothing. The innovative peach cobbler dessert was disappointing. I do not mind paying high prices for food that merits the price. This did not and I was very disappointed.

Dinner was delicious and the views were amazing! Jordan was an excellent server!

Excellent food. Outstanding service & unparalleled views!

The food was very good and we sat on the terrace in spite of the rain and storms. My only complaint was that we seemed to be right in the path of where the severs walked to the other tables all evening. At one point I thought I was going to have a complete meal on my back since the server was so close to me and my chair with the three meals she was carrying.

Great views and ambience. Great place to grab dinner and drinks and walk around the amazing outdoor landscaping of the Omni.

Wonderful experience. It was our 50th anniversary and we got the best seat overlooking the mountains. Complimentary dessert was lovely. Everyone was just the best.

Amazing environment! Food was pretty good, mostly paying for the environment of course. App and starter portions VERY small for the price, definitely not shareable but tasty! Only qualms were 1) incredibly warm outside and fire place together made it uncomfortably hot 2) server seemed annoyed and only visited our table maybe three times in the span of two hours.

The views here were awesome, great views. The food wasn’t great. We ordered apps, salad and a main course. Our apps came very quick. Almost as soon as we started with the appetizer another waiter brought our salad and main course within minutes. It all felt very rushed which could of been fine but the main course was not great. We got market steak and it was poorly cooked and not a great cut of meat. We ended up not eating it. If you come here I would recommend doing drinks and snacks/apps at most to enjoy the view. Everyone was nice and ambiance is awesome. Still worth coming but maybe don’t plan on full meal here.

Starters: Grilled octopus was wonderful with unusual take on sauce but great flavor, perfect texture and cook time, and well matched with chick peas and arugula. Try it! Fried tomatoes themselves were great but the pimento cheese was relatively tasteless. Grits base were good. Mains: Shrimp and grits. DON’T ORDER. The shrimp was total mush without flavor. Could not eat. Very disappointing. Hot chicken: order only if you love sweet honey. The chicken sits on a piece of batter crusted fried bread drenched in honey. The chicken itself great texture and cook temp as well as flavor of spice but also lots of honey. Pickle slices sweet and fiery. The side of Mac and cheeses was right out of a velveta box - but I do love it that way you may or may not. Cocktails: o complaints just praise. Same for wine by glass selections And the view? Perhaps overcomes the let down in food ?
