    Beautiful location, very well designed to have a private dinner while still surrounded by perfectly lit tables, trees, and beachfront. The service was excellent. Unfortunately, the food came out cold, and not particularly special. For the price being paid, high expectations for the food should be met. They were not. It was also a difficult location to get into as a rain shower had passed and there wasn’t drainage in the parking lot, so we had to walk thru and around water and mud. The place has the potential to be one of the best, but the kitchen chef/staff needs work.

    Unique dining experience. Intimate and romantic. A bit far to travel from the Hilton. Had some trouble getting a cab there and bac, but overall, the experience was worth the effort
