Lemonia

I ate my first meal here for breakfast. I was completely unimpressed. The service was fine, what I expect in a restaurant of this caliber, at breakfast*. The food, mediocre at best. I had the French toast and decaf coffee. The coffee was never particularly hot throughout the meal until the 3^rd cup which I got ToGo. It’s difficult to get quality decaf because restaurants do not brew it nearly as much as regular. Alas, the life of a decaf coffee drinker. The French toast came out somewhat tepid and not crispy all. It was not cooked long enough in addition to me not enjoying the macerated strawberries. I feel like they were a couple days old, definitely not as fresh as they could be. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside at one of the few tables they have available on the balcony. There were a number of birds present. I enjoy nature so that didn’t bother me at all, they were not aggresive food scavengers by any means. I did enjoy that my server learned my name and used it throughout the meal, as well as being attentive with the coffee refills. All in all, I will be eating here again because I am staying on property but perhaps tomorrow I will try their sister property on the beach. A golf course is certainly pretty to look at while dining, but in my opinion the beach/​ocean is better. :-)
*For lunch and dinner, I would hope for a bit more of a presence outside. I am not sure of how large the servers section is and if it includes tables inside, but being able to get the servers attention is difficult when they’re inside.
My method of determining stars is service 50% and food 50%. Food receives a 1.5, not enjoyable. Service receives a 3, adequate and slightly above average.
After eating here 2 more mornings I have found the food to leave much to desire. Yesterday I had the eggs benedict which was 100% run of the mill, and the muffin wasn’t toasted at all. Service was better than the day before. Today, my service was great. The omelette though was completely overlooked and brown. Also the ingredients were mixed into the eggs as if they were scrambled eggs with bacon mixed in, not a bacon omelette. I still keep 2 stars until the food improves. I may try for dinner while I’m here.

I have definitely a mixed review.
First morning. Service was slow and it is a buffet breakfast! Servers seemed very indifferent to doing a good job. The gratuity is automatic which I’m all for usually, except when service is a big meh.
Second day service was again a big meh, but the server from previous day remembered a item request the previous day they were out of and brought it to me the second day (I’m pretty sure they don’t usually carry the item, so it was a special request) that is outstanding service.
Buffet is good but nothing to write home about.

Mom and I had brunch. The service was OK. The décor was OK. The price was a little high for the quality. The grounds are OK but not special.
I had Belgian Waffles with some whip cream and it was quite good. My Mom had Eggs Benedict which was OK but a little tough. The service was not as attentive as it should have been for a high end place. I don’t think I’d go back. I think I’d look for other, newer high end places nearby.

Excellent service! Michael was awesome. Offered a flight of wines for us when we didn’t know exactly what we wanted. Then a crab dish to pair with dinner.
Very friendly.
My grouper was a bit dry, but when mixed with the rest of the dish was delicious. Barring this it would have been a five star!
All things considered was also reasonable priced at $ 60 per person.

Chef Nico is exceptional, we enjoyed our dinner there! Five stars from me.

We went to Lemonia for breakfast. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted. We were sat at a table rather quickly. The food was incredible — I am not even a huge breakfast person. The service by the staff is what we expected. I would definitely visit again.

We went to brunch on New Year’s Day. The cost per person was 109.00. Absolutely horrible service, food choices and ambiance. The clientele was mostly in jeans and one person was in a beach cover up and flip flops. For a Ritz brunch, this was a giant rip off.

Best restaurant in the area. Great service, wonderful wine list. Best of all, no matter what you order, you will be impressed with how great everything is. Don’t skip dessert, you will not regret it.

Great food but expensive with tiny portions. Son felt it was fancy.

This isn’t a review for the restaurant, Lemonia, but instead a review of the Easter Brunch that is held in this room every year.
This is as good as it gets. No joke. If I could give this place 20 stars I would. I went here last Easter for their brunch buffet. Reservations are a must, so just keep that in mind. Even though we arrived on time, we still had to wait about 10 minutes. However, the staff was super friendly and because they knew we had to wait, they gave us an awesome table next to the window. The way the buffet is set up is pretty cool: there’s different cuisines in each room, such as a sushi section, breakfast items, carbs, desert room, seafood, etc. THEY HAVE EVERYTHING! Even a little station for children which was really cute. The majority of the food I ate was in the seafood section, with fresh lobster, oysters, caviar, crab, and the list goes on. And did I mention it’s AYCE?!? Oh, and mimosas are also included. The desert room is amazing, and they even had a station where you would get your own individual chocolate soufflé right out of the oven. There was too much food to try everything, so make your choices wisely before you become too full!
The service is of course nothing but exceptional-you’re going to get treated like your a celebrity. This brunch doesn’t come cheap, with around $ 100 per person not including tip. But keep in mind of all the things that are included in the price. If you’re looking for a top notch place to go for Easter Brunch, don’t hesitate and go here!
