This is such a beautiful spot to see the Sunset and eat amazing food! All of the seats have an ocean view. We had multiple seafood courses, Jose gave us amazing service and let us in on the best of the menu while we were there! Great wine selection and cocktails, we tried the Mojito sampler and Chocolate Old Fashion for dessert.. Everything was perfect!

My sister and I decided to celebrate valentines this year with one another. We made a reservation. We noted to please have a window seat. It was special because I never have the time, super busy. Unfortunately, we got a really bad seat, at a really small table in the middle of everyone. I couldn’t even look at the beautiful view, as my back was facing it. We asked if we could please be seated somewhere else. They agreed, so we waited at the bar with a drink. Watching multiple people get seated at tables we waited an hr..I just found it really disappointing in how we were treated. After the sun was set and the restaurant became dwindling down, we got the window seat and when walking to the table I carried my wine across the room to enjoy the table with the darkness of the ocean but of course we weren’t going to let that spoil our smiling faces! The food was absolutely fresh and delicious as was the wine and drink my sister had. The waitress she was nice, they all looked exhausted to be honest. I don’t see the purpose in setting a reservation if multiple people were going to be accommodated for that hour+. I understand we requested a new table but so many couples got seated before us. Don't let it go unnoticed too that we originally wait 20 + mins to be seated from start. We are very patient and wanted to enjoy the time together so we did just that. I’m just not sure id come back with how the vibes went.

Beautiful location, great atmosphere and it is just as fun going for a brunch as it is going for dinner. Dress attire is mixed you can get fancy or dress in a pair of nice jeans with a blouse. Food ..... well I haven't had anything I don't like yet.
