    We’re out in the back tables - even though there seemed to open ones overlooking the ocean.

    This dining experience was amazing! Our servers took great care of us and we could not ask for more. The food portions were generous and delicious. Desert was the “bag of donuts “ which reminded me of the homemade donuts my mom used to make….we will be back….

    S3 is a bit over hyped compared to the food and service received. The quality of the fish is great! But the flavors and options are not worth the hype here. For an average of $20 per 8p roll, I was hoping to be impressed and I was not. Do not consider order the steaks as they were not good. The service is not great and some of the staff were actually arguing with each other in front of our table. The noise level of the music makes it hear to talk to those at your table.
