The BEST! As we arrived we were greeted by name. It was or 20 year anniversary...they served us both a glass of champagne. Daniel was our waiter and he was the highlight of the night. He knew the menu and guided us beautifully. The food was truly off the charts. The resort is perfection, the ambiance and the views! Our night was made even better when we lost power and relied on the coolest little table lamps. Desert was equally as impressive. Some of the best food and value for that food that we have had on our vacation. I can't say enough good things...thanks for making this night part of our story❣️❣️
