Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dining room was wonderful as was the buffet. The specialty dining that I had were very disappointing. Onda, Ocean Blue & Q Smokehouse. The pasta at Onda was mushy with a bad taste. The Cioppino at Ocean Blue was the worst I've ever had! It was like a bowl of rubber bands with a few scallops thrown in. I waited 45 minutes for my food at Q Smokehouse, it's BBQ, it's already cooked. The brisket was corned beef. I may not pay for specialty dining again.
