“ Expensive food, but worth the price. Very friendly staff. Must be well dressed to dine. Great for a date or trying to impress a girl. Amazing atmosphere and welcoming. Not the best place for small children, but not a bad place to bring them either. Amazing desserts. Ran out of chocolate mousse for the sea turtle dessert, but the waiter was very accommodating and asked if chocolate ice cream would work. It still tasted great. William was our server and he was very friendly and polite. ”
“ Only open for breakfast at Jekyll Island Resort Club. Service was great. Our waitress was really nice. The grand dining room is so spacious and beautifully decorated. The food is very pricey. So consider this before going there for breakfast. Also wish the grand dining room would be open for dinner but only opens for private events. ”
“ We ate here to celebrate our engagement in January 2020. I rarely post reviews, but this may be the best dining experience that I’ve ever had, so I felt compelled to. And that says a lot as someone who worked in restaurants for about a decade and is very into fine dining. I often think about the delicious food and experience we had eating here. There are few things I enjoy as much as going out to nice places to eat, but this restaurant performed at the very highest caliber. We enjoyed excellent live piano when we stopped in for dinner that night, which was a nice treat. I read some other reviews and I don’t know how it might be for something like a family brunch (apparently it did well there too ), but for a nice dinner they are very hard to beat. We didn’t have to wait on our visit much at all, but having been on that side of serving I have a lot of patience for staff in restaurants, and especially post-pandemic. Believe me, if you have to wait, this restaurant is one of a kind and absolutely worth it! Thank you for giving my wife and I one of the most memorable dining experiences of our life. ”
“ Lovely Sunday Brunch buffet. Pianist had a gruvy sound. Very nice atmosphere. The wait staff were helpful and friendly. The food was decent - well prepared. Seasonings were a little generic. Don't expect gourmet. Prices are outrageous for the food - it's a 1 time kind of thing. But It's definitely a cool experience The dining hall has fabulous history, and the architecture is all authentic to the period. There is a gift shop as well. I called and got machine, so I recommend making a reservation through the website. ”
“ Wonderful relaxing breakfast. Banana foster french toast for me with my husband ordering steak and eggs. The atmosphere is amazing. The hotel is beautifully restored and well maintained. We will be back. ”
“ We went at 10am in the morning and though the place was about half full, it took us quite a while to be seated. We had some friends who got seated before us, but never got menus, so they left again before we even got in. Once seated, the waitress let us know she saw us and would be with us in a little. By the time she came back, we were ready with our orders. I had grabbed out some paper for the kids to draw and asked her if she had a couple pens we could borrow. She asked if it was for the kids because she could go grab them some crayons. They were much happier with more colorful options. I thought that was so sweet of her. We got a couple omelets, eggs benedict, local berries, coffee, and pineapple juice. Everything was delicious. Bill came out to about 70, I think. It was worth the wait, and the service and food were top notch once we got it. ”
“ My sister and I enjoyed the Holiday High Tea. We were greeted by Kennedy, the most wonderful hostess. She was so sweet and kind. Our server was excellent and very attentive. She was fantastic! The food was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully displayed. The live music was a nice touch. There was a small scratch on our table, which was odd because of the attention to detail the Jekyll Club is known for. We had a nice time. Can't wait for next year's High Tea. ”
“ You definitely go to this place for the ambience of being in a 19th century dining room. The menu was very limited due to COVID. The food was okay, nothing special though the cheese grits were amazing. Service was overall pretty good and the prices were fair. ”
