This friendly, not overly fancy restaurant has an unpretentious but genuinely delicious and reasonably priced menu. Chef Raj is quick to please and will deal with special dietary requirements, including oil- and salt-free options. Grilled vegetables and salmon Provençal (not on the menu) or whole-wheat pasta served many ways can be wonderful, but you can order excellent fish dishes and filet mignon as well. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. To get a free bruschetta, tell them that Fodor's sent you.

Neptune's should be removed as "Highly Recommended." The ambiance was like a corner bar -- the NCAA game was playing with volume turned up, despite that no one was watching the game. Another TV was playing a movie in silence that no one was watching. The host sat the two of us in a quiet corner at a table set for four; then later sat a party of at least 12 at a table next to us at a table set for 6 despite a larger table being available nearby. The group started taking chairs from our table while the waiter looked on with a blank stare. I stood up and asked to be moved. Later I saw the group eventually take our table as others joined them. The group was obviously known to the restaurant staff and not just a random group, so the host should have been more considerate. Neptunes food was mediocre. The lobster, shrimp, and scallops were drowning in the pesto sauce. The desserts had no originality and looked like they had been ordered off the back of a truck. The only good thing about Neptunes is that it was within walking distance of the Courtyard Marriott. So tell Yunio never again.
