    What a magical spot to have brunch. The whole restaurant is beautiful. Ypu can tell they take pride in everything they serve. Definitely worth the wait. The salmon avocado toast was the best I have ever eaten. The stuffed French toast was simply delicious. The staff was amazing.

    We both enjoyed a wonderful meal. I had steak and lobster which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the. Crusted Seabass and he liked that very much as well. Our server Jose was the best, very attentive and knowledgeable. Adjusted all of our choices to our preferences. We will be back another night this week to see Jose.

    I’ll keep this short and sweet. The food was excellent (pan fried red snapper as main course-order this, it was amazing). Restaurant was nice, hostess polite, etc… all the things you would expect. However, our server,Jose was phenomenal.!A polite gentleman, personable, knowledgeable about the dishes, good recommendations. I can’t share enough accolades about this guy. Caña, take notice and recognize him. He is the sole reason I am sharing this review with your prospective diners.
