    VERY overpriced brunch. Would have loved an omelet bar, juice included with brunch price, fresh seafood selection, better breads and pastries. Some items were good but not for that price.

    The food was good, limited choices and pricey. The problem wasn’t just high cost but it felt like you were sitting in a coffee shop paying $40 and up for a plate of fancy food. The atmosphere didn’t match the menu at all. It was a good meal but I honestly would go back. Either change the decor or change the menu. Service was friendly but slow.

    Friendly and working hard staff, perhaps missing some staff that day, outdoor seating over looks ocean and provided a space for a family gathering of 6 easily. Beautiful view, pleasant atmosphere, good food.

    We had an outstanding meal last night. They had specials for the evening. My husband choose the filet mignon. It was a very good size served with 3 large mushroom raviolis and a nice broccoli. My husband thought the broccoli was the best he had ever had. He loved his entire dinner. I had the bravette steak. It was served on a bed of pureed sunchoke and artichokes. It was amazing. I started with the Brussel sprouts. They were the best ever. Nicely cooked and sauced. I finished the entire dish myself. Our friend had the special cod and loved it too. Overall, I was very very iimpressed with dinner. I can hardly wait to go back. Try it and you will fall in love like all of us did.

    Our dinner took forever and when it arrived at our table it was cold by then we were so hungry we just ate it. The salad alone took 35 minutes and the server told us that the same guy who makes the salads is the same person that makes all the dessert that's why it takes a long time to get your summons. Overall the food service is all horrible and very expensive for the quality. We will not eat at this restaurant again even if we stay at this hotel we will look for another restaurant nearby.

    You would think for Valentines especially for the for the price the ambiance and tables the “experience” would be better. They threw together an upstairs conference room, with unstable plastic round tables and conference chairs put a white table cloth and dubbed special. The room was very bright as well abnormally bright no ambiance. The food was great!! The experience for $400 was very lacking.

    They had a valentines menu that was very limited and highly deceiving (there were no prices). We were sat upstairs in a meeting room with portable tables and the food arrived cold and didn’t have much flavor (literally the main my gf got was a pesto pasta that had hardly any pesto - no protein or anything). It was the quality of food I expect from a lower-tier all-inclusive resort in Mexico. The food came in insanely small portions, and with one drink each, still came out to $350 with a 15% tip. I’ve never felt so played - not to mention we spent another $100 going out to eat after because we were left so hungry. Will not ever go back and highly do NOT recommend.
