Ate most dinners in the lovely Dining Room.. very attentive staff, excellent food and dessert Pinnacle Grill: my steak was cooked to perfection... would definitely book reservations here again, attentive staff Tamarind: excellent Asian dishes, fantastic service Canaletto: Italian dishes, tasty but my least favorite of specialty dining options Lido Buffet: appreciated that we were served instead of self served
