All food/bar concessions are owned/managed by the same people. Personally, I think the service stinks at both the pool bar and the Upper View, when you can find it open.

I have found at the pool bar, unless you hang out there all day, it is a long process to get more than 2 drinks and especially during their happy hour.

I don't know if there is a separate bar in the restaurant or not but there is the Upper View Lounge. It is located on the 2nd floor above the lobby area. No frozen drinks and no food unless they send something up from the restaurant near the pool.

For the amount of space taken up by the restaurant and bars, it is basically mostly wasted as the return to the resort on that area could be drastically more.
