My friend and I spend the day at the Sapphire Ocean Club and had a wonderful day. Everyone (guests and staff) were so welcoming, nothing was a problem. I finished the day with a wonderful keg and foot massage. We would definitely come back here

Amazing drinks and wine. Excellent apple martinis. Our server Juan attended to all our requests. We had custom dishes from the chef Humberto and everything was over the top. We finished with a custom dessert and cappuccinos. We got to experience tuna, snapper and salmon all in one dining experience.

The food is amazing and the staff is amazing. You can’t beat the views. I only put the noise levels were high because there was an event at the restaurant next to us and they were very loud. This was the best place to spend our anniversary.

Our first time to Yeo and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The restaurant is beautiful so dining there seems elegant! All the food we had was delicious, really enjoyed the New York steak that you grill yourself on a little hibachi brought to your table! The menu is massive and it would have helped if the servers knew more about their menu. We asked for suggestions and our server really didn’t help us. It might have been a language barrier! We will definitely return

Overall, Parottfish is a beautiful restaurant, with an open kitchen and additionally, a lovely garden area. I had two negatives….could have done without the big screen TV’s with sport (does not really fit the elegant interior) and the music was quite loud. That said, our server, Frida, was lovely. We had the duck tacos and serrantino roll, and both were delicious. There were several other dishes we would have tried….the menu is varied but more on the sushi, sashimi side. It was a birthday celebration, and we were treated to tempura Oreos with vanilla ice cream, a dessert that we would never have ordered. But would definitely order in the future. We also ordered the chocolate, caramel, orange cake, which was good but would not repeat. The photos are of the desserts. We will be back. Our meal with drinks and tip was $64 USD for the two of us.
