    The service and food were excellent. I had the New York steak, and my wife had the seared Ahi. Both were very good. Probably, the best New York steak I have ever had.

    Second time back, and it was even better than we remembered! Whole snapper, ono tacos, ahi, and rum cake with vanilla ice cream… all great, and the serving was just as good!
