    Had a great time at this restaurant. The kind hostess last night and our waiter Ambrosio were amazing. Great view on the patio near the beach. Highly recommend this place for dinner if you can.

    Great service and advice about menu dishes. Only criticism would be that is very cold sitting in our booth.
