A hidden gem. Excellent food and service. I neglected to remember our waiter’s name, but he was fabulous! Views of the ocean from the terrace; obstructed views from the interior. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.

After reading up on multiple write-ups and believing this might be a dining find, we were disappointed. Need to be blunt. The restaurant, located within the hotel, was adequate at best and the seating and table seamed old and uncared for. Our waitress came to the table with a smile and in good time. We ordered drinks and an appetizer with a description that made our mouths water, Palm Valley Roasted Beet Salad! A mix of red and yellow beets along with goat cheese and spiced candied pecans. It was superb! Then everything went downhill... We ordered the blackened scallops and the Ribeye for entrees with sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus. The meals were delivered tepid at best for each plate. The scallops did not appear to be fresh and were stringy. Of the five delivered two were spit out and left on the plate. My ribeye was similar in warmth but edible and for each of us the potatoes were plopped onto the plate with large scoops and pressed down creating two mounds. Very unappealing. We brought our thoughts to the attention of the management who did not even come to the table. This saddened us but we were given a small discount on our expensive bill. How nice...

The absolute best crab cake I have ever had other than that everything was just ok. Veggies were very good the second time, they came out ice cold the first time. Waitress nice but too busy and bar was super slow but made and interesting drink.

Delicious!! Highly recommend!! We took advantage of restaurant week to visit. It will be hard to choose when we go back. Everything was so good but we'll want to try new things. Not sure how we'll balance

The dishes were wonderfully prepared; the meats were tender and flavorful. The service was top shelf. The pricing was equitable and indicative of the quality of the food received. The menu is varied but not over saturated with choices; be assured that everyone in your party can find a delectable dish.
