    The restaurant had a DJ during dinner hours. The music itself was hip and fun however it was blaring at a level that made dinner conversation impossible. We reported this and asked if they could turn it down and the staff said no. It would have been a decent dining experience but this ruined it completely.

    This was our first time dining at this restaurant, Adriana was amazing, her service was friendly, she recommended items in the menu and mentioned some of the specials they were having. The food was outstanding, it arrived at a great pace with the appetizers and main entrees. The drinks were made to perfection by the bar. Highly recommend and will definitely dine again when in town.

    We were sited outside with a beautiful view and comfortable weather. The hostess greeted us with a big smile and warmly. The menu was very limited and selections overpriced. Service was spotty but once at our table they were warm. Valet was complimentary. Overall an okay experience but not overwhelmed.

    Decent meal if you are staying at the hotel. The view of the bridge & waterway are great on a cool night. Valentina did a great job taking care of us, above and beyond. Mocktails on the menu for those that can have fun without alcohol. Negatives: the hostesses were not the most professional. The one up front did not act like she wanted to be there. As we were being escorted outside to our table, the other hostesses tried to squeeze through the door while my party was walking out instead of waiting. When we left, the hostess was bent over, looking at her phone, ands never bothered to look up or say goodbye. Since this is the first & last impression that you get when you walk into a new restaurant, it’s important to have better people up front. Food was ok. Nothing spectacular but also not bad. Very average beach food. Also tip is included (20%) but it’s more if it’s a party of 6 or greater (22%). Cocktails are also nothing special. I was there for a birthday and had mentioned this in my reservation. Nothing was conveyed to my server so she was surprised when I said something as she brought the check. Valentina responded quickly and brought a piece of cake with a candle. A nice touch for our server but highlighting the lack of professionalism up front. I was hopeful but other than the view, there’s little that would make me want to return.

    Very nice location, the service seemed OK but could be better on on bodies… lots of square footage for not enough personnel who seem to try really hard but can’t get to you because of the distance between tables.

    María was incredible, she was attentive and knowledgeable when it came to recommendations in all areas, and made our experience feel that much better. Food quality and taste was superb. We ordered the hummus with pita, pizza , couscous, chicken kebab and the pita salad, all delicious.

    Pretty atmosphere, good service and food was certainly acceptable however, the cost was very high for what was delivered. The skewers were less than appetizer size and the side sweet potatoes were cold. The Bronzino for two would hardly feed one and the drinks were excessively priced as they were more than the food. We passed on desert!
