This is the only restaurant I liked on the Grand Hyatt. The food was excellent and the prices reasonable. All and I mean all the other restaurants were just over priced and the food just average. The Luau was excellent and should not be related to my last comment. More

The martinis were great, Food was ordinary but the lychee martinis were really tasty. The brochures portray it as upscale and intimate but is so not! very loud and very open. More

At the golf course, not right at the hotel but a quick walk or the hotel will shuttle you over and back. Wonderful food! Ginger martini was fantastic. Went back for breakfast which was equally good. More

For $10, the kids' chicken skewers with scoop of rice and some vegetables felt like a decent deal. We liked the food overall. service was spotty and place pretty empty at 8 pm on spring break. Wouldn't rush back More

We booked a reservation here thinking it was part of the beautiful Hyatt resort, instead, the valet redirected us towards the golf course where we were greeted by a bored staff in an empty decorationless ballroom. The menus had pictures of every item on it, which is fine when I go to Denny's but... We ended up getting up and... More

Nothing on the menu really seemed familiar but could have been because we ate here after 15+ hours of traveling! Food was ok, probably would give it a second chance More

Great place for breakfast! Okay, it is a golf course clubhouse atmosphere, but looking out on the 18th green with it's over-water approach lined with countless hibiscus flowers ain't such a bad thing, eh? Great banana-guava-blueberry pancakes and "break the mouth" omelet incorporating pieces of Portuguese sausage and tomatoes, then covered with melted provolone was excellent. Friendly professional waitstaff. More

All the other reviews are right: Yum Cha suffers from a major identity crisis. It is 100% golf club house with a thin coating of Asian decor. The wait staff are friendly enough but they serve like they're in a diner (and yes, they wear baseball caps). That wouldn't be any great crime, but when the King Pao chicken costs... More

This place is convenient, as we were staying at the Grand Hyatt. The food was fresh and tasty. It just took a REALLY long time to get our food - they were busy and understaffed the night we ordered. Nonetheless - I'd recommend them! More
