From valet parking, to quiet but amiable ambiance, to incredible service, luscious, delectable meals and desserts, to panoramic vistas…Latitudes-DelRay Resorts is THE place to go for the best Savoir Faire in dining experiences.
My friends and I seldom get together to go out…but when we do…we certainly DO IT RIGHT! We had a reservation, were seated quickly and at a lovely corner table with the most spectacular view. Our server KP was knowledgeable, kindly, with good humour and he took great pains to answer our questions, take our orders, serve us promptly and make certain we were enjoying ourselves. My companions ordered drinks while I just “taste-tested” like any good friend would do! (Somebody’s got to do it!) We then enjoyed Market Oysters, Thai Shrimp Summer Rolls and Grilled Octopus before consuming the most delectable variety of main dishes. Lobster Roll, Latitudes IPA-Battered Fish and Chips, and other items were perfectly framed on every plate, making a picture that surpasses the imagination.
The professional pics are EXACTLY what you are presented with, but there is no way to properly convey the smell, flavour and silky mouth feel of every delicious bite. And we did savor EVERY BITE! I’m ashamed to admit…we were all so hungry, not one of us thought to take pictures of our plates…that’s how mouthwatering everything looked and smelled.
The only reason I gave 4 stars out of 5 were for an air conditioner that thought Murphy’s Law should apply…and decided not to be fully operational. It gave all new meaning to the “warmth” of this fine dining establishment. The other reason was that they ran out of Peanut Butter Cookies! (You had to be with us at dessert time to fully appreciate that! LOL!). No matter; we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly despite those infinitesimal issues. And I mean that sincerely!
But I digress…please note that this establishment is wheelchair accessible and offers only the freshest in quality food items. The chairs are plush, roomy and VERY comfy. Chairs and tables are spaced with plenty of room in-between. No feeling of being placed inside a sardine tin. You’re never “rushed”. We dined and conversed comfortably for several hours without thought as to “having” to leave to make room for next patrons.
My compatriots and I were even comfortable enough to enjoy the most luscious desserts…even though we were quite sated from engorging ourselves on the best appetizers and dinners we’d ever had. The Coconut Bomb and Chocolate Chip Cookie Sandwiches made with Chocolate Gelato plus the decadent Chocolate Mousse Cake simply took our breath away. You KNOW something is out of this world when, you close your eyes after taking that first bite, because you want to savor the moment!
While the only photos I took were of an incredible cornflower blue sky, beautiful deep navy blue and pristine turquoise waters below, their foamy white waves crashing on the shore…I feel you will be more encouraged and inclined, to go and experience Latitudes-DelRay Resorts for yourselves. We just felt like we’d taken a mini vacation to the Caribbean and I am quite certain…we WILL return another time to enjoy more of this exquisite, lush dining experience. Bon Apetit!
