    Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Had a great view with live music. I can honestly say that I had the best customer service that I’ve had in my life. Dean was absolutely phenomenal professional, attentive, and even brought a rose to the table being it was valentine’s Day. Definitely a great ambience because of the amazing customer service and overall experience of ambience and view will definitely be returning highly suggest.

    My husband and I have been coming here for 4 years and each time we’ve come it has ALWAYS been romantic whether it was during the spring, summer, fall, or winter. The ambiance is amazing and the phenomenal servers will go out of their way to make it a romantic night for any couple coming in. The food and drinks are fantastic and worth the price in my opinion. My husband loves their exclusive & unique rum choices! Our valentines day experience will be an experience we’ll never forget, it was beautiful!

    This is a really nice place. Service is always great, we had Yuri and she was on top of things all night. House margarita was good and had a unique twist with the grapefruit. A little on the sweet side which I didn’t love. Their food specials are great! Every restaurant should do this to allow for a break on high cost of eating out. We appreciated it. I always get and love their mushroom tacos but last night they were sadly skimping on the mushroom. One taco had about three mushroom slivers. I figure if that’s the highlight of the dish, it should at least fill the tortilla shell. But other than that, it was tasty. Portions are perfect - not too much food.
