Carolina Vista Lounge - Orange

Went last night and love the new look. The food we had needs work. I had the Kittle Gem Lettuce salad, sans the quinoa, and it was tasty. Also tried the Beer Steamed Mussels, no sausage was included and the broth was very bland. There was garlic and onion slices, but garlic appeared dry and there was no garlic flavor. My husband got the All American Burger and said the meat had no flavor. Others around had different dishes that looked ok, just not sure they were. Cocktail was good, Hoping things improve.

The new Vista lounge is quite comical in the sense there is no hostess so people jockey for tables. Will not go back until they figure this out, but it was very amusing to watch. Sort of like dinner and a show

The staff are over the top. Genuine HOSPITALITY. The food was delicious.

I thought it was a rather unimpressive looking restaurant in the awesome Carolina hotel but I assumed that they would be renovating it when the lobby is done. We were there for an early dinner and my husband wanted a strip steak but it was not on the Ryder Cup lounge menu. And, the main dining room did not open until 6:00. Despite that, the server went to the dining room and was able to get the strip steak for my husband. I decided to just have the Caesar salad and a few bites of his meal. The wine was good, the Caesar salad was great, and the steak was a perfectly cooked medium and was very tender. The potatoes were also very good. The really went out of their way to accommodate us and we very much appreciated it.
