    Service was excellent. The halibut was fantastic, especially paired with the recommended local Shady Lane wine. The pork chop was also delicious. Each dish was nicely presented. Wonderful dining experience.

    My husband and I booked the cabanas and we had so much fun pretending we were somewhere warm for spring break! The service was great and the cabana fee was well worth the price. Highly recommend!

    We arrived early for our reservation, so enjoyed our cocktails in the lounge - with a large fireplace, comfy chairs, amazing view, and excellent live music. After a short wait, we were escorted to our table overlooking West Bay. Service was delightful, the menu innovative and best of all delicious.

    The food was amazing! Giovanni took great care and made sure our night was special. He was incredibly kind and answered all of our questions. His hospitality was above and beyond and we really appreciated it. The ambiance is great and we will be back when we are back in the area. If you haven’t been, go!
