Yellowfin Bar & Kitchen

I do NOT understand how this restaurant has a 4-something-star. Me and my spouse are half way through our week-long stay; there has been no improvement in the quality of food and some drinks. If a bar is going to charge premium prices for cocktails, use premium liquor. I ordered a Parrot Bay and Coke. At first I thought it was flat coke or something; hence, the bad taste. Well no. I just learned that their coconut rum is some off brand no one knows. Why wasn’t I asked if I wanted a cheap liquor? And, more importantly, why was I charged full price? With that said, the Pina Coladas are actually good. By the way, the bartender conveniently did NOT let us know but, the pool side server did tell us that the restaurant charges an automatic gratuity of 18%. So visitors should watch that. As far as the restaurant- oh boy!!! I ordered two dinner burgers to go at the bar. The charge was $54 before tax. (Fine and dandy- it’s a resort, we all know we are overpaying.) After I included a $7 tip - now remember, the bartender only took the order, she did not check the order, she did not hand it to me, did not deliver it, etc -my bill was still $76!!! My fault, yes, for not better reviewing the check….did I mention the Pina Coladas?? I would not be leaving a 2-star review had my $76.00 well-done burgers w/ fries NOT been scorched and black; yes, “scorched” is exactly what they were. They had a horrible burned taste to them. I even threw away my patty to eat bread and lettuce. The bread was not good either. it was also black and burned in places. We couldn’t return them — we had ordered them to go. Staying positive, that next morning we took advantage of the free breakfast meal. It was just okay. The poached eggs were cold when they arrived at the table. But , hey, free meal and it was edible…. The following morning we opted for the Yellowfin Breakfast. We both ordered our eggs over medium, but that didn’t happen. Not only were 3 of the 4 “yellows” hard, the majority of the eggs were crispy crunchy brown. Yet again, “FREEEE” - not going to send them back. But my gosh!!! I have yet to have one decent meal at this place. Remember, if we were paying for this Yellowfin Breakfast it would cost $36 for two people + $4 for 1 coffee + $8 for 1 OJ + tax + 18% gratuity. If it had not been for the $76 scorched burgers, I would think breakfast is just a bust since it’s free. I don’t think so. My advice if you stay at Ocean’s Edge: enjoy the free breakfast, have a lunch (since it costs less), and gauge if you’re here at the right time of year. I must say…..the hotel itself is wonderful!!! This review is ONLY for the restaurant. Yelp shows Yellowfin to have an even higher rating than Google. Again!!!! I don’t understand how!! Perhaps, Ocean’s Edge is having an “off-week” this week. There is no way other reviewers have had the same experience as me and my husband.

I will never come back here again. Outrageous poor service and absolutely horrible to our local community. Total disgrace.

Great food, drinks and service. The staff are so nice and attentive. Felt like family.

The food is fantastic!!! Alex our waiter was fantastic very attentive and provided us great service. Alexandria at the hostess desk was outstanding!!!

After waiting for over an hour to get breakfast we were just seconds away from leaving without food when it was finally served. Super disappointing and definitely never again!

Noisy when they did Friday movies, needed more seating options at pools. Rooms nice and staff nice

Great location overlooking marina/resort. Food is really good but very pricey. Service is lacking. Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible, but has quite a long ramp into restaurant. Might need assistance if pushing yourself.

Great fish and shrimp tacos! Average chicken burger. Overpriced food.

We have enjoyed breakfast here at the Yellowfin twice. Andrei and Jean were more than attentive and professional making sure that our visit was five stars. While we are still getting used to slowing down from our fast-paced experiences back at home, Andrei was there when we needed him....checking in at the right times and not when we had bites in our mouths. That speaks to someone who understands service. Tremendous time at the resort, and will be back again soon.
