    The setting on the beach is beautiful. But you have to sit outdoors on the deck. Inside, the ambience drops from 5 Stars to 3. The hostess was darn right rude. Gwen the server was very good but she got the check wrong. If I had not checked I wouldn’t have known they had added two items we didn’t eat. The food quality and taste were mixed. The sushi and Japanese fried chicken were good. The burrata tasted sour. The edamame had sea salt that was not very salty. So, it’s a mixed bag. If it wasn’t for the setting and the ambience I would give it 3 stars rather than the 4 stars I gave.

    the food was great as always, but the server didn't time these correctly and they were 20 minutes apart from the two entrées we ordered

    This place has really gone down hill. The Sunday brunch buffet was a mess. Half of the items were gone at any given trip to it. The “barbecue” meat served was tough and barely edible. It was way over-priced ($90/person). What a disappointment.

    This place had very few selections available that were listed on the menu. We were told the Branzino and lamb chops were sold out, which was what we wanted to order. You would think restaurants would be prepared for the busiest night of the week!! The wait time was extremely long for subpar food quality. It’s a beautiful restaurant with a nice Ocean View, but that is all it has to offer. You can go many other places in the area, if that is all you want. We had reservations but the hostess sat other people who came after us first. We didn’t get seated until about 25 minutes later, and this was only after complaining to the hostess about the unfairness she displayed. The food is overpriced and service was slow. What a disappointment for us, as we were looking forward to a fantastic night. I would not recommend. Two thumbs down.

    Delicious food! The yuzu hamachi crudo, skirt steak with wasabi chimichurri and miso crème brûlée were highlights. The live DJ playing house music was too loud.

    Lovely evening. Food was excellent. Servers were friendly and helpful. Some dishes came out fast. Some dishes were slow. Drinks were especially slow. Even so, we will return because ambience was great and food was good.

    Been wanting to visit for a while, finally made it! The terrace is great, sunset hour best to see the ocean before it goes dark. The food is very good but not exceptional. Service is very slow…attentive but slow and I had to order ponzu sauce 4x from 3 different servers before it arrived. The oysters were the smallest I have ever seen, and didn’t taste like anything. Dinner for 2 (2 cocktails) was $250.

    We paid 48.00 dollars for lamb chops that were not very good. My fish was so so. We live in the building next door. Thinking we could get a good meal. It was 200.00. The waitstaff were friendly. But couldn’t wait to go home.
