As on of my favorite restaurants in Nassau, I've never had a bad experience here. The food is pretty authentic flavor-wise. Service is always excellent and very comfortable because of knowledgeable staff and their suggestions. I've started trying new things and I'm grateful for the suggestions I get and enjoy!

Compared to the food I’ve had about 6 years ago when I frequent this restaurant; it has definitely taken a dip and I was disappointed because my expectations was extremely hight for my recent visit.

On a whim, I made a last minute decision to make a reservation for my birthday (which went unacknowledged all evening though I included that detail in my booking). The food was generally well executed. However, the service was astonishingly inattentive. Our reservation was at 8pm and we were among the first (and few) people to arrive but were virtually the last to leave with the lights beginning to be turned off. After we were done with entrees, we waited nearly 15 minutes for our server to reappear to take our dessert orders. My mother, who usually tries to placate my impatience, herself began to question whether her expectation that restaurants usually clear their tables quickly was still valid. We saw our server outside clearing other (empty) tables but he did not seem to be looking toward us. He then came inside and, rather than approach our table so we could ask for the check, began clearing other empty tables inside. I couldn’t fathom why his table with people still seated at it seemed less important than empty tables. The distinct impression we got was that he was principally focused on going home for the day - so we got dealt with last. After finishing dessert, and what seemed another 10 minutes of waiting, he came back to the table and, frustrated, I asked for the check. He replied that he’d need to find the card machine to take payment. He disappeared again for another 10 minutes. While we waited, the lady at the centre of the floor, I presume another server saw that we were growing impatient and looking for our server and repeated he was looking for the machine. After another 10 minutes, I grew loud and indicated to a passing server I wanted to leave immediately and, miraculously, a card machine was quickly located outside in less than a minute. I was invited to speak with a manager but I did not see the point. The cooks had done their job. My birthday was ruined by one person and a manager wouldn’t erase the bad taste that overshadowed the good food.
