    I have been dining at Sunset Grill for 20 years and always enjoyed it. They closed for 8 months for a complete renovation and the result is an elevated dining experience. The staff was extremely attentive. The chef came out to greet us and ask if we had any questions about the menu or special requests. The new wine list is amazing. I cannot wait to return.

    Best dining experience on the island so far. Outstanding and attentive service and conversation from Miguel and team. Adult kids enjoyed frog legs and escargot. My ceviche was excellent. Good steak and fish mains, and nice crème brûlée and a lava cake with pistachio ice cream to end the evening.
