Now Jade offers a buffet, five specialty restaurants and a coffee shop. In general, the food is good. At Now Jade, the number of specialty restaurants at which you can dine is not tied to the number of nights you stay at the property. Guests can dine anywhere on the resort, and need only show up to the restaurant when hungry. Most of the specialty restaurants are open for dinner only. For families with young kids who tend to eat early, there will be few, if any, waits. For a popular 8 p.m. seating, you may need to put your name down, get a pager and enjoy a cocktail at a bar, until your table is ready.
