    There were 5 tables, 2 good sized ones and 3 small and some at the bar. Service was horrible! We understand island time, however this was beyond acceptable! We ordered everything at once due to it taking so long to get our drink orders, my wine came out after our burnt conch fritters that was raw on the inside. Meals came 45 minutes later and were ok. Not even close to a good value, protein for each dish was extremely small. It will be the last time we come and we are at the resort there. Went two times last year and the service if far worse now.

    We were a large party of eight and service and food experience exceeded our expectations. Cocktails were also creative and fantastic! Remember, when on vacation here, you are on island time! Patience and general good manners go a long way.

    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
