We had a table on the ocean front, lovely setting. The food was excellent - fresh fish and local specialties. The service was on point despite having many large groups. Price is comparable to other ‘top restaurants’ - worth it since you are on the beach and do not have to listen to loud techno music. I highly recommend Ziggy’s.
