   We had dinner tonight at The Abalone. Everything was perfect. When I got the bill it did not itemize each item we ordered, rather it only showed the total amount due with a space for tip. I should have requested the detailed receipt but I did not. I left a generous tip and on the way back to our hotel, I remembered seeing that an 18% gratuity is added to every bill. I feel duped.

   Atmosphere and service were nice. The food was just abysmal. we came for the Easter buffet. Many items looked and tasted as if they had been made days before. Some of it truly was not edible. For two adults and one mimosa each our bill was $190. I wouldn’t mind paying this for a nice buffet, but will definitely not return here. No quality control whatsoever.

   Slow evening. Server Andre was reasonably attentive. Food good, but not exquisite as you’d expect at a nicer restaurant like this.

   Abalone is a beautiful restaurant with wonderful views of the ocean located in the Daytona Grande Oceanfront Resort. The food is very good, along with the cocktails. We were there for dinner and it was a little chilly so we were not able to dine outside. However, the outside seating looks amazing. We will be back to enjoy that dining experience, too. Valet parking was perfect as it is comped by the restaurant for dining there. Thanks to all for making our night out complete.

   Valentines but not too busy. Nice attitude but food not great, salmon not good. Steak and lobster decent, sides served cool to warm. Maybe just an off day.

   We were one of only a few tables so it was very quiet. The food was good and reasonably priced especially when compared to other restaurants in the area Overall a good experience
