The Hard Rock Cafe is located in its namesake...the beautiful Seminole Hard Rock Hotel...but it is not the five star restaurant...The Seminole Oaks (Tribal) Dining Room in the same hotel takes that honor.
The only negative I can say is get rid of the smoke. It travels from the casino floor to nearly all the hotels public areas. And in a modern hotel, people notice the stench because most in the US no longer allow it.
Before I tell about the restaurant access via auto, I want to explain the best way (and cheapest way) to park (for free), If you drive along Sterling Rd, and enter the main road toward the Hotel area, the road will lead to the front of the hotel. When busy, they will valet your car. If new there, you will not know where to park without a tix.
Instead, turn onto route 441 (State Route 7) and note the big signage to park in the garage...it is free. It is easy access to the HOTEL, its casino, and the Paradise shopping area.
Then walk a short walk to the hotel, and you will find the Hard Rock inside.
The restaurant is fresh, clean and well staffed. It appears like most of the others I have been to...rock and music items hung all over the walls, and rock music.....but not too loud (I think we were there senior time, and the management must be sensitive to the age group. Most of the restaurant is non smoking...there is a small area for smokers.
Service was great. There were no delays (But waitress said try some Friday PM....its a bit different then-even with the large staff)
Prices were a bit higher than average....but soft drinks were refilled free. The chicken was absolutely the freshest...I know the taste of chicken & turkey and this was almost like out of a kosher bosher...two hours previous. (Loaded hamburger-maybe not as large as Le Tub...but was under $10.00. Grilled Chicken was $11.00 with salad. Full dinners were a bit more.
Salads were also crisp and fresh...with a good home made dressing. IF dieting, don't take the fries or onion rings....they are also very good...
The menu is listed on the Hard Rock Cafe site. The restaurant has a coupon for new Player Club members (you get one free lunch with one (almost). Must be a new Players Club sign up.
(They also give you dozens of other coupons, and $10.00 casino play.
