⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Alexander Winfield
Very good breakfast food. Very quick service. Plenty of seating options. Would recommend this place for a good brunch option even if you’re not staying at the hotel. I think the buffet is a little over priced, but the menu options are correctly priced and taste very good. We stayed at the hotel for 10 days and got breakfast every morning, the head chef and the manager came out and talked to us every morning to make sure we were okay. They were accommodating to allergies, and overall was very good experience.

We loved our stay at the Hyatt! The Sea Root restaurant had amazing cocktails and dinner section. We had the halibut and burger and both were delicious! The service was very friendly and quick!

We’ve stayed at the hotel multiple times, but never eaten at the Sea Root Restaurant for dinner until last night. Kids meals were amazing. The adult entrées were awesome. The steak was cooked perfectly and the flavor profiles were on point. We’re definitely coming back again for tonight‘s dinner, Michael was our server and the service was awesome on night one and Gerason our 2nd visit. Thank you Team

We had breakfast two days in a row and it was wonderful! The Huevos Rancheros was amazing!! It has a sweet potato cake increase or a tortilla and it’s incredible. Our service both days was so kind and attentive. My husband had steak and for people who raise beef, we were impressed! Well done.

Decent food for a hotel restaurant. Service was OK. I think our server was busy so we didn't see her as often as we wanted. Steak entree came with 2 servings of French fries which was a little strange- diner-like presentation. The vegetarian plate I got was delicious (took my picture after I ate some, sorry) and flavorful. The presentation didn't compare to the steak... It almost looked like the plates came from 2 different kitchens. The decor is beautiful. The bar looked nice but we didn't sit there. Overall, pretty good.
