Came for dessert, so I can't speak to any of the other food. Our server was great, professional, and very friendly. I had the cheesecake, and she had the Praline. Both were delicious and beautifully presented in a sort of deconstructed style with edible gold accents. Would recommend.

Tesoro Restaurant at JW Marco Island: A complete Gastronomic Experience

🌴 Nestled within the luxurious JW Marco Island, Tesoro restaurant offers an enchanting dining experience that tantalizes the senses and creates unforgettable memories. During our visit, we indulged in a delightful spread that showcased Marriott's culinary expertise and impeccable service.

🍗 The Food: We started with succulent chicken wings, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy within. Accompanied by a fresh and vibrant Greek salad, the flavors were a refreshing prelude to the main course. The standout was undoubtedly the hamburger—a gourmet masterpiece with a perfectly seasoned patty, waiting in a soft bun along a considerable chunk of bacon, and complemented by crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a dollop of chef's special sauce.

🍹 The Drinks: To complement our meal, we explored a variety of spritzes. The limoncello spritz was a citrusy burst of freshness, while the Aperol spritz with prosecco offered a delightful balance of bitterness and effervescence. Carlos, our server, epitomized excellence, suggesting drink pairings, snapping photos, and even crafting a special spritz for her to conclude our meal. His attention to detail and warm hospitality elevated our dining experience.

🌅 The Ambiance: Dining at Tesoro is more than just a meal; it's an experience. Seated on the terrace with its breathtaking views, we found ourselves enveloped in a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. The comfortable cushioned chairs made us feel right at home, allowing us to relax and savor each moment.

❤️ Experience: Sharing laughs, admiring the stunning vista, and enjoying each flavorful bite, our meal at Tesoro became a cherished memory. It's in these moments that we realize food is a powerful medium of communication, evoking emotions and forging connections.

🙏 Gratitude: We share our passion for food here. Every meal is a chance to express gratitude for life, each other's presence, and the moments we create together. Thank you for joining us on this culinary adventure.

Best sunsets on Marco Island…and the food and staff is amazing as well. Ask for Giovanni- he takes the BEST care of every detail during dinner. Order the STEAK- best steak we had while on the island. And enjoy cocktails on the rooftop for the most amazing sunsets that light up the entire sky.

5 star for atmosphere because the views truly do make this place worth it. Only giving 4 stars cause it is a little pricey since it’s in a resort, and the service is typically a little slower. But I have continued to return here several times because of how beautiful it is! Once you get past the prices, the food is very delicious. And an excellent espresso martini!

Concierge, 3 weeks earlier, made a reservation outside for us at 7 so we could enjoy the sunset. When we arrived, they could not honor the reservation as the people who were at the table, were not getting up.? They said it's just the restaurant business.... We took a table inside. The food was average, the one waiter indoors, had the whole dining room...needless to say nothing met our expectations. We won't go to Tesoro again. For a JW Mariott restaurant, it did not represent the brand, or maybe it does. At the least honor a reservation.

I recently visited Tesoro at the JW Marriott @ Marco Island on August 17th, 2024, and while the experience had some highlights, it also had some significant drawbacks.

First, the positives: 🌅 The Sunset View was absolutely stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop to our evening. The Drinks were well-crafted and enjoyable, and the Service was attentive and friendly, which made us feel welcomed.

However, the experience fell short in a couple of key areas. The Mediterranean-style food was underwhelming, with only a few options on the menu, and unfortunately, not the best selections. We started with the Mezze Board and the Cured and Crude Board Shareable, and while they were presented nicely, the taste didn't impress us. After trying the Mezze, we decided not to stay for dinner, which was disappointing for a place of this caliber.

Another major downside was the Valet cost—$48 without validation and $28 with validation from the restaurant. This felt excessive, especially considering the lack of clear directions for self-parking. It added an unnecessary strain to what could have been a more enjoyable evening.

As a Titanium Member of Marriott, I’ve visited many Bonvoy hotels, and while Tesoro has its charms, I can’t say it’s worth the visit given the overall experience. 3 stars—one each for the Sunset View, Drinks, and Service. Unfortunately, the food and valet issues mean we likely won’t be returning, since there are many options in the area for good drinks and great sunset views!

Excellent bar for evening drinks or snacks with incredible views of the beach and ocean looking west. Prices are a bit high, but expected for the location.

This review is in several parts:
Food: I had the Grouper sandwich. It was just ok, not noteworthy. I've had better. The fries, on the other hand, were outstanding. They are thin cut and were perfectly fried and seasoned. I found them mildly addictive!
Service: The waitress did a good job, meeting our needs in a timely manner. Our food arrived in a reasonable time after order.
Atmosphere: The view of the Gulf is great!
