    Didn’t seem to be enough wait staff. Water guy was great and he was available to ask questions. Waitress, Ann, was very nice, but running too thin with the amount of tables. She was wonderful and considerate to let us wait between courses. Ordered the ribeye steak…I love a nicely marbled steak and the fat gives it a great chew and taste, but this one had a 2:1 ratio…lots of bites were only fat. The music was fantastic and added to the enjoyment. He had a beautiful voice and great song selection.

    The wait staff is very attentive as always and the food is outstanding. We just feel that it is a bit overpriced. We will continue coming as it is one of the best sunset restaurants on the island.

    It was a beautiful setting and our service was OK. She was pretty slow to check on us and never asked us if we wanted another drink, but she was polite. The food was good, but not excellent and was definitely overpriced for the quality. The ribeyes were tough and slightly overcooked, and the other food was decent, but not as flavorful as was expected.

    The views and setting are outstanding. Our waitstaff was excellent. The food and cocktails were good but VERY pricey and one of our appetizers wasn't served until we got our entrees.
