Restaurants & Dining

Sunset Sam’s Fish Camp
The towering mast of the 60-foot sailboat Gaylord is
the landmark for this “harbor of hip,” Sunset Sam’s.
A tropical oasis of island excitement, the menu features a
creative fusion of Floridian and Caribbean favorites,
including the freshest seafood prepared to your
specifications. Sunset Sam’s will bring you back to the
days of Ernest Hemingway, sitting dockside with oversized
cocktails. Begin with appetizers aboard the sailboat,
including crab cakes, conch fritters, “cigar” shrimp
and oysters on the half shell. If the atmosphere – and
the island-style music – fail to seduce your senses, the
sinful desserts will. At sunset, a lively celebration
begins, giving an excuse to party every night. Look no
further -- you’ve found the good life.
Summer Rum Premieres...........Fridays in July and August
Try our infused rums! Every Friday in July and August, the
bartenders will premiere a brand new infused rum flavor.
These popular concoctions are created using secret recipes
and fine rum. Join us every Friday to taste our lastest
creation, available until it's sold out.
Old Hickory Steakhouse
Take the path through the mysterious Everglades to our
rustic steakhouse retreat. At Old Hickory, you’ll find a
serious menu in the tradition of the best world-renown
steakhouses. Inside, guests congregate over retro
cocktails and enjoy the highest quality Certified Black
Angus aged cuts. Superb steaks and fresh seafood are
prepared using distinctive cooking methods. After dinner,
choose from handcrafted cheeses from the fromagerie of
celebrated New York City Chef Terrance Brennan. An
inspired wine list takes advantage of changing vintages
and wine auctions. Knowledgeable servers and personalized
service, paired with the whimsical Everglades setting,
make this an unforgettable dining experience.
Villa de Flora
We welcome you into the magnificent kitchens of the Villa
de Flora. This “European market” is set in a grand
dining room of an old-world mansion. Chefs stationed at
six kitchens invite you to sample their culinary
creations. A seasonal market-inspired menu features meals
from the countries of the Mediterranean – France, Italy,
Greece, Spain, and North Africa. Guests can season meals
to their liking by snipping fresh herbs from plants
growing at their table. A focused wine list is accentuated
by traditional Mediterranean offerings, including sangria.
Breakfast at Villa de Flora gives diners an opportunity to
experience coastal favorites, along with standard morning
fare. Dinner is peppered by nightly entertainment.
Auggie’s Jammin’ Pianos
In the heart of Gaylord Palms lies the resort's soul:
