    We celebrated our 60th Birthdays with Passions on the Beach, and it was one of the most wonderful and memorable dinners we have had! From being so close to the ocean, hearing the waves and the wonderful saxophonist play for us, and the ambience created, to such a delicious meal, it all was so incredibly satisfying! Thank you to your awesome waitstaff and chefs, for such a memorable experience!
