    The food, service and ambience were excellent. the price was a bit high but worth it for the most part. A little live music wouldn't go amiss...

    They helped re-arrange our reservation so we could arrive 20 mins early. The burger and also the scallops and coconut rice were outstanding (as always). We are glad they re-opened so quickly after the hurricane.
