We arrived expecting a buffet, and were politely told by the host it was switched to al a carte. We thought we’d be disappointed but the food and service were so great! The steak was delicious and cooked sooo well, the service was lovely. We attended on Dec 16, 2024 in case you want to give the chef and host some major props!!

Our obliging and attentive waiter saved the day. The menu, ambience and value were all disappointing compared with other sanctuary cove eateries. Easy parking, vegan offerings for our diverse family and table availability have brought us here several times, I just wish it was a better experience. I think they can do way better than this.

Food was just ok. Chicken fajitas meat was a bit bland and queso was not the best. Not enough food for the prices. Service was good but I wouldn’t go back.
