    I booked an outdoor table for my birthday. The decor was beautiful with great views of the water . I was seated immediately , our waiter MIGUEL was the best very accommodating and attentive, great service . If I go back i would definitely ask for Miguel to be our waiter. We got a variety of drinks all tasted amazing. The food was delicious and of great quality. The outdoor and indoor were playing different styles of music. We stayed for a few hours (sat 5pm-8pm) , during the day it was chill and towards the night they started playing better music and doing performances. It was so fun . I was so happy I picked this place for my birthday dinner with friends! 10/10 recommend

    Went for Father’s Day. It’s understandable that it was going to be a busy day however they had a prefixed menu with very little options to choose from which was also about 60% above regular price. Felt forced to eat whatever was on the said menu. The wait for the food was over an hour. Food was ‘ok’ definitely not worth $60+ per plate. Drinks were also juiced out. We did get sat right away and our waitress was very nice. Overall… won’t go for special occasion again.

    seems overwhelmed and unapologetic about the wait, followed by a server who takes 40 minutes to greet you even though the restaurant isn't as busy as it usually is. Receptionist was very rude and tardy. Food took 2 and a half hours check-ins from the server forget about it.
