Most of the restaurants closed. No staff or service personnel in the evening visible. No parking attendant. Seems like they just gave up. Sad...
In addition...and response to the owner.
Monday evening, the ONLY restaurant that was open was "the flying bridge" (an outside -open air eatery) been there many times and while the food has always been good, felt like an inside regular restaurant feel for our wedding anniversary. The ONLY other option ( on property) was pizza hut/ice cream take out.
Bermuda's - closed, bermuda cafe - closed, palm court - closed, beef o'grady's - closed (not sure if this one is permanently closed or not). Was told by front desk staff to try Rumfish grill at their sister property . We drove there, and were told that their would be a wait of 45 min (because we don't have a reservation) or we could eat the same menu at the bar. We went to the bar and saw the brief menu that was available. Understandably a lot of seafood dishes but not much else. Still a brief limited menu. Very glad I did not wait to be disappointed. So we left and went up and down gulf blvd. Found a new place.
To sum up the experience... It was our anniversary, asked my wife where she wanted to go, her only response was tradewinds.
Expected more... disappointed.
