The restaurant is beautiful. I wish they had more views of the ocean though, instead of putting a huge bar right in front of the windows. The service was excellent. The food was good but really at $32 for two chicken enchiladas you would think you would get rice and beans with it, but no, that was extra. Ridiculous! At least you get chips and salsa for free!
