   Loved the experience!! Beautiful view ! Loved the waitress! Tamara was very friendly and very informative about the island even though she just moved here! We would recommend her for a waitress. The ambiance was amazing and loved the desserts that she suggested!

   We were greeted by friendly staff. The setting was lovely and we could hear the sounds of the ocean. It looked new, clean and pristine. The service was very good. I was looking forward to splurging and having a deliciously fresh seafood dinner. We ordered accordingly, with a scallop appetizer, 2 pound lobster and fresh whole fish. The scallop appetizer was delicious. The lobster was presented well on the plate, but significantly overcooked, to the point of being dry, dense and having the flavor altered. I find lobster tastes slightly different depending where it’s caught. I’ve enjoyed lobster in Maine, California and Cuba. My husband’s whole fish was overcooked to the point that he couldn’t separate the skin from the fish fillets. When presented on the plate the fish was dry, crisp and rigid.  This was the first restaurant we went to on the island and we splurged  because it was our first meal to kick off our getaway. I don’t know if the chef had an off night, but I really did not want to be in a place to write this type of review. But the cost of our meal was significant, and I’m hoping to save someone else from feeling like they wasted their hard earned money.

   Service was great, but they were overwhelmed. Andrew was attentive and helpful and fun! Food was of excellent quality but extremely over-salted. And I love salt! The outer crust on the filet, while beautiful, was almost inedible due to the prominence of salt. Local lobster was delicious. Skip the oysters- for real.

   It is a beautiful location. Our drinks were warm and while mine did get better due to ice, my partner’s Prosecco was warm and that made it taste bad. The appetizer of scallops was delicious. The side of broccolini was fantastic but my tiger shrimp were unpeeled and overcooked. They were mushy.

   My husband and I went for our anniversary dinner. The menu looked so good that we tried many things. Drinks were great, food was great. My husband raved about the taquito appetizer and the donut dessert. Our waitress was wonderful, service was a bit slower but probably because we ordered many courses; we were in no rush. Ambiance was lovely.
