   I'd made reservations here due to myself and my spouse staying on property. It was my birthday to and only to get there and they had no bread available for bread basket, and run of of filet Minion for surf and turf. Totally disappointed and they are very expensive. My husband got the Cornish hen dish and it had absolutely no flavor and was very dry. He left it on the plate Practically untouched. To make matters worse we went next door to get a simple burger and fries, they had run out of fries and it took over 30mins to get a burger. The only thing decent were the staff were pleasant and understand.

   I’m giving a five star review because I knew what to expect. Food was excellent, both times we dined with Saman. It’s a little pricey compared to your standard steakhouse or seafood restaurant, but you’re on an island and procurement is difficult. No problem. Wait times both times we were there were very reasonable. 30-40 minutes for the main course, drinks and bread for the table were immediate though. If you go here, you need to have time to just relax, be on island time, and enjoy yourself. If you want bar food quickly, walk 20 steps to the Flamboyant restaurant and eat there. We ate almost every item on the menu, all was prepared very well. The pasta with vodka sauce was amazing and just what we needed after a week of eating out. The cut of filet wasn’t quite up to the highest standards out there, but at $50 on an island with no local beef, it certainly isn’t claiming to be the best of the best cuts. Of the four filets we ordered, cooked between rare and medium, all were cooked exactly how they should be with good sear and minimal grey layer. The wahoo was prepared and plated very well, and I have zero safety or cleanliness concerns about eating fish here. The waitstaff is very attentive, not over-committed to too many tables, and they’re very helpful sharing suggestions of local places to visit outside the resort.

   Not worth the money. Service ok. Menu is limited and the half chicken was more like a half pigeon. Expensive for what you get. The location is beautiful, such a shame.

    Hakeem was fabulous waiter and food good. Steel drum music would have been great if not so loud:)
