Sixty-one Prime - Marathon

Sit back and grab a drink, folks. This is going to be a long one. I made reservations for our 16th wedding anniversary this past Friday during a vacation. We aren 't Resort people but do like fine dining and do it frequently. The first surprise was the $25 non-guest valet charge. There was self parking available... somewhere in the distance. The nearest lot was for valet only. We paid the $25. The resort lobby was quite attractive, but the atmosphere was not carried into the restaurant. Grey. Open duct work ceiling, nice lighting, but bare walls. No flowers either. It 's just a generic, square grey room. We prefer a warmer atmosphere, but OK, maybe chef wants the focus on the food, not the room. Menu choices were OK, but other than 4 or so steaks, somewhat limited. She ordered a the filet medium $58) and I, the Prime Kansas Strip medium $82) and we added whipped potatoes $13) and grilled asparagus $14) No apps. Each of us ordered a flight of 3 wines $22 $26). The meal arrived in a reasonable time. The filet was the typical size but undercooked. Medium is pink, not the red of medium rare. This was rare. Accompanying the steak was an enormous head of grilled elephant garlic. Not sure what to do with that. My Prime strip wasn 't too appealing looking on arrival, but I dove in any way. I 've eaten a lot of steaks in my days at all sorts of establishments. I know the difference between Prime and Choice. While cooked properly, this was certainly no Prime cut. Frankly, I 've had better cuts at chain restaurants. I wouldn 't pay more than $15 for it in a diner. Perhaps 3 bites had any flavor and tenderness. The rest for an $82 steak) was just flavorless meat, tough gristle and bitter disappointment. The sides were fine but cold. How hard is it to get that right? We pushed through and ordered the Key Lime Trio $14) and a decaf coffee $5). Key lime Gelato, key lime tart, and a key lime donut. The trio turned out to be a duo because the donut was MIA. We 'd have asked, but our server was focused on new arrivals. So, the final bill was $266 for two and a great disappointment. Admittedly, I am a steak snob. At these prices, I expect a fantastic steak that I will think about for days afterward. Parking: $25 for valet!

I usually don't give reviews. But tonight was such a pleasant experience I felt I had to. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a smile and such hospitality. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. Not to mention the perfect drinks. ENJOY Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Disappointing Dining Experience at Sixty One Prime My recent visit to Sixty One Prime left me utterly dissatisfied, and I can't help but express my disappointment. Let's start with the food it was mediocre at best. I had higher expectations for a place that markets itself as a prime dining establishment. The flavors were unremarkable, and the presentation lacked any creativity or finesse. But the low point of the evening was when we encountered cockroaches crawling on our table. It was absolutely appalling, and what made matters worse was that the staff seemed to ignore this blatant hygiene issue. This is an unacceptable oversight for any restaurant, let alone one that claims to provide a premium dining experience. I must give credit where it's due, and the waiter was indeed good. The staff was attentive and polite, which was a saving grace in an otherwise disappointing meal. However, no level of service can compensate for the subpar quality of the food and the disturbing presence of pests. In summary, my experience at Sixty One Prime was far from what I had anticipated. While the service was commendable, the lackluster food and the shocking presence of cockroaches at our table overshadowed any positive aspects. I would strongly advise potential diners to think twice before choosing this restaurant for their special occasions or dining outings.

Food is definitely not worth the price. $54. For burnt pork belly ,mushy rice and cold broccolini. Our server was excellent but the food was really not good. Having been in the service industry for 26 years the food here was really terrible. I have had better food at Chilis or Cheesecake Factory. Very very expensive food without delivering the quality. Seriously not worth spending $80. a person. A serious disappointment for our first night at Hawks Cay.

$88 bone in-ribeye steak aka carte-was flavorless, huge section of fat and was not a prime cut. Place let’s in screaming kids/babies, loud drunk adults- basically anyone. Cell phones, rowdy drunks. I have no idea how this place has a good review but from I see they are about eight months ago. We came in last night with a reservation and at least positive expectations. Scallops were rubbery and over cooked. Side veggies were okay but nothing special. Waiter Omar was great. Very nice guy. The food is nowhere near what it should be for the hotel. Hawks Cay has really gone downhill. We had two drinks at the bar for $48 including tip and every fabric seat was stained and dirty — they need to update the chairs after 15 years; ditto for dirty tables. Extremely disappointing- Resort used to be amazing. It felt like a bad family Outback Steakhouse- nothing PRIME about it. Go to Michael’s 22 mins away from Hawks Cay Instead. Seriously, do not waste your money. Kid-friendliness: Screaming kids rule
