    My son and husband caught a Wahoo (Ono) on their fishing excursion and Ko was so amazing - they stored it and then prepared it for us in 4 different ways to enjoy! So appreciative that we could eat what they caught and on Christmas nonetheless!

    The food was excellent the ambience was wonderful, our server was not fantastic, she had to look at her cheat sheets when asked questions about the food and didn’t really seem to understand what she was reading off, we asked her about the prayer that was said by the man with torch and she had no clue just said he just comes every night and says come sort of prayer, she was from Quebec Canada and was very hard to understand and did not always listen to the questions asked.

    The drinks AND the food were incredibly underwhelming. My family NEVER sends back a drink but 3 of us just couldn’t bring ourselves to painfully slurp $22 cocktails. The follow-ups were fine. But then when I got the worst crudo I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE (and I order the crudo everywhere and every time I see one) I felt really upset we chose this restaurant for our once a year celebratory holiday dinner. Everyone was left feeling “meh” about our meals. But at least we had good company.
