    I was so totally impressed by the restaurant! The food was very well prepared, presented and the seasoning and taste were beyond my expectations. Bravo to the team in the front of the house for their considerate, knowledgeable and professional service. Bravo to the kitchen staff - again, the food was terrific. We had a starter, soup, salad 2 entrees and dessert - all were exceptional and showed a level of care and intention in the crafting of each element. The price points were very reasonable and I look forward to returning soon!

    Our waitresses are very good. However Navio called me the day before my reservation saying they needed to move my reservation time from 12:15 to 1:15. Something about a glitch in their system. Well that’s fine but I believe they should have apologized for the inconvenience as it wasn’t my fault at all. They didn’t apologize and even sounded snobbish on the phone. I certainly didn’t expect that from a 5-star hotel! I am disappointed with the service provided there.
