    Wonderful people and a delightful meal. Must go back for the snapper and lobster which they were out of like eating with family. The staff and people made us feel at home and appreciated.

    Food was great but they need more service staff. The current staff was working as hard as the could but couldn’t keep up.

    Food was delicious and unusual. We ate outside but it was hot bc the fan was not working. The inside seemed very noisy. The timing of our food Was off - with entrees coming moments after our appetizers. If this could be worked out, we would go back.

    This was probably our least favorite restaurant on the island. Service was just okay and the food was not that great. I’m not sure if they’re going for comfort food or high end but it missed the mark on both. It was also the most expensive meal we had. I would skip it.
