What Customers Say
"Stopped in for lunch after walking up to Grand Hotel. There was no wait, and we sat on the patio. Our server Roman was very polite. We ordered 2 salads and a cup of chowder. The food took about 20 minutes to get. The cob salad was quite fresh with mixed greens and lots of tomatoes. The dressing was light and very good. The chowder was also good. The price was about average, I was expecting higher considering where we were. They have a full bar inside. There is a large room for a party or large group. The hostess was so nice."
"Great place! We stopped in for lunch and had good service and good food. White fish sandwich and tuna rice bowl were both awesome. Server disappeared at the end of our meal, which seems to be a theme on the island. But other than that everything was great"
"After 2 days on the island and really mediocre food, this place was like heaven. Roman (hope I got the name right) was wonderful super friendly and attentive, food was great we ordered some clam chowder, a Mac Daddy burger and the American smash burger. 100% recommend :) PS: too hungry to remember taking the pictures of the burgers."
