    Food wasn’t great but it definitely was a vibe and gives you the club scene without actually being in a club .

    Service was amazing! I mean some of the best service I have ever had! Everyone took great care of us. Food and cocktails were very good - we had pasta, coquettes and various drinks. The environment was fun, beautiful beach front. It’s a bit high priced for the food and drinks but overall it was great. A big thank you to the staff! The one negative was the many times we had people trying to sell us stuff - both inside the bar/restaurant area and on the beach. The restaurant needs to remove the staff selling none restaurant related “goods” to patrons (it was not our wait staff)
