Really spectacular dining experience in a really beautiful setting. The service was top notch and ambience was perfect with live music. We did the Bahamian tasting experience for a birthday celebration and the food was amazing and much more than just a taste. I would HIGHLY recommend for any special occasion or just a really fabulous dining experience. I will definitely return in the future!

Went in for an early dinner and was not disappointed. Service was excellent. The vibe was great without being too noisy. We had the salmon taridito appetizer which was delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also had the hamachi jalapeño dish and that was ahhhhmazing. It was sweet and had a tiny bit of jalapeño and lots of tobiko. It was a really interesting dish. We also shared a seaweed salad which had 2 yummy types of seaweed salads in one dish. Overall, great food and service. We will go back the next time we are in the Bahamas.
