We went for late lunch / early dinner and were the only diners. So primo table and no noise except the waves on the beach. Great view and such a relaxing way to enjoy a meal. The food was good and priced reasonably, but the menu is similar to the other restaurants we have visited. The hostess and servers were all very friendly.

The food was prepared perfectly. Location is prime for the Westin Resort and Spa sitting just above the private beach. Service was good. Very attentive later in the meal. Would recommend if you prefer to eat spend a night in the resort without traveling outside.
