    We ate there several times during our stay and everything was delicious. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. Recommend trying the grilled salmon and the pineapple upside down cake. Also, the view from the restaurant is incredible!

    Go for the view, forget the food and service. The wait staff is poorly trained. Probably asked us 7 times if we were ready to order. A $44 dollar grouper dish came with spinach on the plate which we can’t eat. When asked about it the wait staff said they made a mistake and did not take the issue seriously at all. Fine dining prices with sports bar tvs hanging on the wall. Go to the beach for sunset and find a different restaurant.

    Unfortunately Not as advertised,.. beware~ even the Host was seemingly on AutoPilot- despite our reservation “Do you want 1st Available?” for inside vs out; & the same for the waitress a little more engaging but even stating she was Delivering a pre-recorded message of options. Then the Diner-style food delivery- $30+ for 4 barely-seasoned shrimp & scallops; not impressed & better options for the money!

    Had a delicious dinner. Relaxing. The ambiance was energetic. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. Patient and made courteous. Although crowded the noise level was understandable evidence of the personality of the restaurant Missed the music tho
