Food and Dining

Great

Moderno Churrascaria

3 out of 5

Service slow if you are solo. Didn't think meat was very good. Salad bar was phenomenal, I wish there was an option to get just salad bar.

Sugarcane Mojito Bar

1 out of 5

Bartender has no personality. You order a drink and he says nothing. Makes your drink and puts in in front of you and that's it. Went twice and same thing both times.

O'Sheehan's Bar & Grill

5 out of 5

Food excellent, service quick, nice and casual.

Bali Hai Bar And Grill
