   Loved the atmosphere of sitting outside facing the water and even though it was at night and you couldn’t see the beach just hearing the waves smash against the rock and the cool island breeze was relaxing, soothing and overall refreshing. I can’t leave out the amazing live Steele pan performance that topped it off for me and although I didn’t eat as much food what I tasted was pretty good. I would definitely recommend and plan to return. Shout out to Nicholas our waitress she did great with her service not just with my guest but with the others in attendance.

   Food was great, the general ambiance wonderful, music level too loud for a quiet dinner conversation!

   Good food. They only had on server, and she did as well as she could, but it made the service slow. Nice view of the ocean.

   We had reservations for 5:30pm but were ready at 4:30 so we decided to go early and see if we could get in because of the wait times mentioned in previous reviews. We were seated outside and our drink and appetizer order was taken and fulfilled in a friendly, professional and timely way. However, the service was a real mixed bag. Our entrees took a very long time to get and they weren’t that busy. The food was was bland and overcooked. It wasn’t worth the price spent. We sat outside, which was nice, but it was a little like a picnic and less like a nice restaurant. Still, we had a beautiful view of the ocean.

   They were out of all lobster and shrimp, which meant over half the menu wasn't available. Out of the 4 meals we ordered, only the filet was good, and that was extremely overpriced for what it was. The meal was so bad that we didn't return the next morning for the free breakfast. Definitely would not recommend!!!

   The server was amazing. They are grossly understaffed and overall inattentive. Ordered food and 45 mins later were told they were out of one of the items. Then ordered a substitute (Salmon) and it arrived 45 mins and was almost raw. The management of this resort needs to either be open and severely limit the number of customers or just not be open at all.

    The views were the best. The lobster bisque was delicious. Steele drum music delightful but only played 1/2 the time we were there. Downhill from there. Carambola pasta with shrimp was good. But the wahoo first delivered was overcooked,dry and uneatable. Sent back. The second was a little better. Servers had to be flagged down. Delivered our main course while we were still eating our first course. Very poor wine list. We were given 20% off for the issue with the wahoo.
