They have potential, but it missed to mark last night.

The food was wonderful…you could actually taste the flavors..nothing bland or your average flavored foods.
We will be back, with friends!
It being a Tuesday evening, off season, there was only one other table seated at the time. Our server, Kandice, warned us she was the only server and apologized in advance if we had to wait longer. The service we got was actually better, quicker, and more attentive than most other restaurants I’ve been to in years! Since it was a weekday, the menu is a little shorter than the one we had looked at online, but Kandice went back to the kitchen and they were happy to accommodate what we wanted anyway!
We started with the loaded fries for the 4 of us to share and they were absolutely amazing!!! French fries, mac and cheese, and pulled pork… words cannot describe how good this was!
In short, the food was outstanding and the service was great! If it were closer to home, we’d be eating here regularly!
We arrived to the resort on a Friday and had a reservation for 11 guests at 6:30pm. We ended up cancelling because we were going to just wing it for dinner. Funny enough, we ended up coming back here around 8pm after line dancing at the saloon to see if the restaurant could accommodate us. They were busy but they tried to squeeze us in. They were limited on servers. We were quoted 30 minutes. We were going to walk around and check out our options when they said not to go far as they may be able to seat us and make it work within 15 minutes. Sure enough, they did. Yayyyyyy!
Our server Nicki was wonderful and did her best throughout the night. I think they were short staffed in the kitchen too because we waited a long time until our food came out. I want to say we got our food about 1 hour after we ordered it. Had drinks to kill some time and they brought out bread, but the kids were exhausted and ready to crash. We didn’t get our food until about 9:30pm. Yikes.
Luckily, the food and service was good to make up for it. I understand they were just doing the best they could at the time. It’s tough though because Westgate was almost fully booked during this Easter weekend and they were short staffed. Very unfortunate as that kills the service and wait times.
I had the Brahman Bull and upgraded the tequila to Casimigos Reposado. The drink was perfectly spicy with a beautiful presentation with Tajin rim and chili threads. So damn good! For dinner, I had the Palomilla steak which was cooked perfectly at medium rare. So juicy and full of flavor. My husband got the Nashville Chicken sandwich which was meh. The bread was too thick and dry and the chicken lacked the real Nashville kick and sauce. My daughter had the French Onion soup which was way too thick and salty. I asked for hot water to tone it down and it was better but I wouldn’t suggest this.
We came back for breakfast on Saturday morning and the place was fairly empty but again, they were short staffed and was able to accommodate our smaller group of 7 people. Sam was our server and he was great too. The breakfast was good and took a little long but not quite as long as dinner the night before.
Overall, the food and service was good but the wait times on everything was a real killer. I hope they are able to get more staff to accommodate the demand.
First con: We arrived at 6pm and were seated immediately. Within 15 minutes, the place was pretty packed. It was 30 minutes before my wife got her cocktail and 45 minutes before I got mine. We realized during this long wait that not only was there only a single server for the entire restaurant, but that waitress was also the bartender. We got our food about 1:15 after arrival, and finally left after being there for about 1:45. I asked the waitress, (who truly was working very hard) if this was normal, and she said no. I have my doubts though. If you read through other reviews, service speed seems to be a problem.
Second con: The food. Not a good thing to have on your con list! I ordered the 10oz sirloin. First red flag was that I was never asked how I wanted my steak done! I prefer my steak medium rare/medium. It came out medium well and pretty dry. I give them the benefit of the doubt and I assume this was because they were under staffed in the back and cooking too many dishes at once. Maybe on a slow day the steaks come out great? My wife’s salmon wasn’t bad thankfully, and my daughter got pulled pork sliders which were pretty good. The burnt ends mac and cheese was pretty good too! So not all bad. The steak, however, is critical in this review because this is in fact a steakhouse.
Third con: There are supposed to be 8 beers tap, and all were empty but one (Kona Big Wave).
Now for the pros: Service! Of course, overall the service was terrible because of the crazy wait times, but I’m referring to the quality of the staff. Our server deserves a bonus because this poor woman was servicing like 15 tables, shaking up endless cocktails, clearing tables, and even making the desserts!! It was something to behold. The hostess stepped in to help big time and was constantly leaving the hostess booth to run drinks or clear off tables when she could. They were all so friendly and sweet too, which says a lot considering the stress they were under. Our server genuinely apologized several times throughout the night and that went a long way with me. She is definitely the reason I didn’t go even lower in my star rating.
Second pro: The cocktail menu was pretty awesome! We both loved our drinks, which were very creative and well thought out. The whiskey menu is pretty awesome as well. They have Pappy Van Winkle which is badass!
Third pro: The atmosphere of this place is great! It truly is really well decorated, the bar area is very cool, and the menus are well done as well. I really liked the overall ambiance, and if everything else had gone well, this place would be an awesome place for dinner or drinks.
So they’re you have it. Tons of potential, and I think it’s very possible that on a slower day (or a day when they’re staffed appropriately) you may get a 5 star experience. If I come back and things are better, I’ll gladly change my rating.
Pro Tip: I got there at 6pm on a Thursday. I spoke with another person staying on the property and she got there at 5pm the same day and said service was significantly better for her. Maybe getting there early is the real trick with this place.
