Impeccable fine dining. The suited front-of-house staff were warm, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable without being overly formal. Each course was a work of art visually. Interesting and beautiful flavor/texture compositions. Make an excuse to eat here.

Our waiter Kevin was so nice, gave great information about each dish (and gave me unbiased opinions on two dishes I was between so I could make a decision on what to choose), and was attentive! The food was delicious as well - one of the best meals on the island. Definitely recommend the Panko & Sesame Crusted Ahi!

Outstanding food and service. We got the crispy pork belly with brussels sprouts, and it was insanely good. Then my husband got the pork tacos and I got the beef rice bowl. Both were so, so good. I also got a mocktail, which was delicious. Our server was Gerard, and he was really attentive and had a great personality. We will definitely come back here if and when we come back to the island!
