    Delightful lunch on the veranda overlooking the Batiquitos lagoon. Interesting menu. Excellent wait staff. It has a high end golf club feel. Cool bar too.

    Your waiter, Jessie, was so nice and very friendly and prompt. The eggplant bulgogi was not what I expected, no sauce just battered eggplant, a bit disappointing. The Filet Mignon was amazing and cooked perfectly. Any more I can't get a rare steak done so evenly- it was great. The crab and lobster bucatini was also very good. It was a great meal for our 53rd anniversary.

    Chose this place to celebrate a big milestone birthday and honestly didn’t feel special at all. Requested a specific drink to be delivered as we arrived to the table but the waiter made it a bit awkward and ask if we still wanted the drink. Also felt as we requested a nice view we were sat in the back and missed the entire sunset. But we got a view of the golf course. Dinner reservations were for 6pm. And when we arrived the restaurant was not overly busy. So felt there was no extra effort to acknowledge a BIG milestone birthday.

    Caviar and oysters were very good. King Charles cut ribeye was amazing. Carrots were amazing. Fingerling potatoes were bland. Lime zest overpowered the cheesecake.
