outstanding experience! The food and drinks were exceptional from start to finish. I had the lobster, which was perfectly grilled and full of flavor. One person in our group ordered the octopus and bone marrow — hands down one of the best meals any of us have ever had. The cocktails were just as impressive. we couldn’t get enough of the passion fruit drink topped with coconut foam. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely unforgettable from start to finish! The entire experience was exceptional—Caroline, our server, was outstanding with impeccable service and warmth that elevated the evening. Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully prepared, and truly delicious. And the views? Simply breathtaking. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Do yourself a favor and ask for Caroline—you’ll be glad you did!

Lived up to reviews. Sooner for 6 adults at6:00. Not very crowded and service was very attentive. Great drinks and pasta was very good. Loved to focaccia bread to start. Think good value for the money too. Would absolutely recommend, esp if looking for a change of pace from tacos and such!

It’s was a great dinner, getting there was an experience, if you are driving there make sure to get directions from the restaurant as gps sends you to wrong location. The food was great and the view was amazing, service was excellent! Will definitely be back.
