   A little over prices for what we received. Server was handling the entire deck and was scrambling her best but just had too many tables.

   We had 7 pm reservations and were seated right away. It took 20 minutes for our waiter to come to our table and take our drink order. The first drink (beer) came after another 10 minutes and the second (wine) about 10 minutes after that. Our appetizer was then served- no napkins, silverware or plates. We flagged him down and asked for these items, after waiting 7 minutes and apps getting cold, my husband went to front of house to get the necessary items. Our dinners did come out at the same time. The food was really quite good and we enjoyed our meal. The menu did state that a 20% gratuity was automatically added which probably explains the poor service. The waiter gets a tip no matter what. Sadly, while we will return to the island, we will not be returning to this place. So many other choices with exceptional service

   Nice setting facing the beach at Limetree Resort. There used to be lights on the beach which gave a nice evening view, but there were no lights on when we were there. Service was acceptable. Lanai salad was delicious, generous portion. Chicken fettucine was very good. Poke bowl with tuna was good, but there was not a lot of tuna, and the tuna could have used a little extra seasoning. Overall, a nice place for dinner.

   We went for happy hour. There was one other table in the restaurant. We had four items on the happy hour menu and we each had one cocktail. The bill for two people had a 20% gratuity added and came to over $90 for a happy hour deal. The food wasn’t great. The chicken was over fried and  the conch fritters were overdone as well. The service was pretty standard, but after we got our food, it took forever to get our bill and actually we never did. We had to go to the bar to finally ask for it. I would not recommend this place.

   Food is ok, not the best around but not bad… the view is amazing, especially the sunset so worth it. Also they have a kids menu what’s really good.

   New management since we were here last and they are testing out their menus and making renovations to the restaurant. We had burgers which were very good

   The service and food were both terrible. This is about the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. To be honest I don’t think someone could do worse… Uninterested served, dirty napkin (unwashed), chipped dishes… you name it! Save your money and time, go somewhere else.

   Peruvian Chicken was really tender with 2 large dark meat portions. The service was very good, particularly given the often-slower pace of many island restaurants. We sat along the rail and enjoyed the gentle sound of the surf nearby. We dined in the pre-season of early December, so make reservations in the busy winter months. My husband enjoyed his poke bowl with fresh tuna, and my son lapped up his lobster mac. Some of the protein in the lobster mac appeared to be shrimp, but overall, it was a good entree with more protein that some lobster macs that I have been served.

    The food was tasty but over priced. $22.00 for an Acai bowl served in small pineapple cut in half. I make the same at home for far less. Two shrimp tacos for $16.00 with two shrimp in each taco. Grant the server was very attentive and pleasant. The amazing ambience was interrupted by bold and somewhat aggressive and very off putting Iguanas.
