Default Cane Garden Restaurant

We have been regular patrons of the Cane Garden restaurant for quite some time. Something has happened. On the last two Sunday mornings we have been there for breakfast. The quality of the food is not good. Home fries that are cold, pancakes cooked on the outside but gummy and not cooked on the inside. The presentation of the plate is terrible. I did speak with the manager to no avail. Will give it one more try in a few weeks but will be going elsewhere. Anyone else have similar experiences?

Have not gone for breakfast but have been there for lunch and dinner and haven't seen a change in taste or service in those meals. Maybe a different kitchen crew for breakfasts? Not sure what you meant by "no avail" he might have heard you, future visits will determine that.

We went back after a long time away from there. Our plan was a cold beer or two and apps at the bar. We tried three different beers, all were flat and warm. The bartenders were good, but not good enough to overcome the beer temps. I'm not interested in going back.

Four of us had dinner there 3 weeks ago. All four meals were not good. Service was indifferent. No reason to return.

We were there last Monday evening and the place was empty. Food wasn't to bad. Service at the bar was good. Something going on.

Cane garden has changed. It was always our go to CC as it was consistent and usually good food and service. Either new management or new cook or something different. Usually it's a new manager when something like this happens.

I firmly believe management owns 100% of all problems in any business. I have proved that many times over. It's never the employees or the customers or the location, it's always management. Take any failing business, get a really good manager and it can be fixed.

So my bet is cane garden has a new manager.

When they screwed Lewis, it went downhill--they must have a big nut $$, for the purchase and they are penny pinching,

Went there with a group after golf a couple of weeks ago. No dropoff in service or food. I have never had a bad meal there (and I hope that won't change). Can't say that about most of the other CC's.

Just got back from there. Service was horrible and food was mediocre at best. How bad was the service ? I normally tip 20 - 25%. I left nothing and that is the first time I have done that in a long long time.

Went there about a week ago. It is so loud in there we had trouble carrying on a normal conversation. Food was ok, but waitress acted as if she had a train to catch! She was actually rude in her rush to get us out, we were so happy to get out . In no way was it a relaxing Sunday afternoon meal with friends.

Yup! Long time chef, Louis Santiago left here. He now is the chef at Arnold Palmer Legends CC working for Chad. Expect menu changes there.

Understand the opinions about the food and the service but do not understand complaints about the noise. If it is your go to eatery, are they piping in noise thru speakers, did they tear down walls and is the noise volume in a long standing restaurant an issue of the management or the patrons on that day. If you are a regular do you not know what the level of noise is inside a restaurant? It is justifiable to complain about service and food/drink issues but really some things are beyond changes without large outlays of money. Please be fair with your reviews!

Whenever management changes, this always happens. Sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad. We will have to stop by an check it out!
