    Great selection of tequilas and wines by bottle and glass. Was not fan of poached egg in Cesar salad , but steak was cooked to perfection . Fish Bronzino was excellent as well . Prices are on the very high side.

    Tabatha was our server. She did an excellent job. Answered all of our questions and paid attention to our requests. Her helper Jesus was excellent also by asking us if there was anything that we needed. The food was excellent as expected. If you have been to Mastros Ocean Club this is a step above. The $ was a little higher than Mastros but well worth it. The seating area was great. You didn’t feel all crammed next to another table. We will be returning for sure. Thank you Tabatha & Jesus for helping us celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary.

    Excellent. Was running late due to traffic but the staff made sure we were seated and didn’t rush even though the restaurant was close to closing.

    The meal was delicious, service on point & overall atmosphere was energetic. We were sitting in a dining area adjacent to the bar, which was the only part I'd recommend doing differently if you're looking for a more special experience, as we were there to celebrate a birthday (request the room with the pool which has better atmosphere).
