We were seating promptly on the patio as requested. Our server Leah was wonderful. very attentive and friendly. My wife slipped on a pineapple Mojito, enjoying the breeze and the view while we waited for our food. She started with the summer salad, which was refreshing and delicious. I ordered the 8 ounce fillet. It was so tender. You could almost pull it apart without a knife. The flavor was delicious. My wife had the Chilean Seabass and she said it was the best piece of fish she had ever eaten. The flavors were perfect. The risotto was creamy and full of flavor. We found this place by accident, but will make sure it is in our regular rotation. The sunsets are beautiful and the golf course makes it super quiet outside and very peaceful.

Service was great although at the time it wasn’t busy at all. They have a good selection of basic to gourmet pizza. The pizza crust was good with the right amount of crisp to soft. The food was quick to arrive and delicious.

The atmosphere was fantastic but the area was very hot. Maybe too many people? The service was ok. They seemed a little disorganized and got our order wrong, however the drinks and food were outstanding and the theme on point!
