Service and food fantastic. Dining room needs a facelift though. The dining room we were seated in seemed more like a small business meeting room, where you might have a slide projector on the wall. It was an odd space. Otherwise, as I explained, the food and the service were five stars all the way. My Caesar salad was fantastic. Steak was cooked to perfection. Even the little kids buffet was really, really good my son loved it.

The food was great along with buffet options for kids! The service however was not as great as you would think for Omni service quality. It was very tough and lots of time waiting for someone to attend us. Had to go find someone to ask for drinks.

We are at this restaurant twice during our stay. Mostly out of convenience after long days spent at the pool. The first evening we were seating outside (per our request). Ants crawling across the table and were just told, “oh we are undergoing a renovation”. Our appetizer that we ordered was never put in so it was never received. The second evening we sat inside (our choice) and were seated in dark back area. It almost felt because we have two childish we were put in a different area. There were plenty of tables in the main room with lots of light with views of the property. We had a reservation for both dinners. Super disappointed! Food quality was just fine.

Four of us went to lunch at Blue Ember during Restaurant Week. The staff was very pleasant and seated us immediately. I ordered the chicken sandwich from the special menu. It also came with a fried cauliflower appetizer and a panna cotta dessert. The appetizer and dessert were delicious. We four shared the two courses. The chicken sandwich was very dry and I could not eat it. The waiter noticed my hesitancy and asked if there was a problem. I told him it was dry (I was going to take it home and doctor it up), but since he asked if I wanted anything else on the menu, I decided to try the other option on the restaurant week menu which happened to be a pasta dish. He asked the chef to add a piece of chicken breast. It was so much better. The waiter was very accommodating and made me feel important. He wanted me to have a good experience. I truly appreciate that in a restaurant. I will return.

Excellent service. Food was good and great value for GPS Restaurant Week. It’s a family friendly resort, so a couple tables with children, some not very well behaved. Would return, probably during off season.
