    Food was great. It is a bit loud (people noise). Was looking forward to an ocean view but even with a reservation we didn't get that. Service was excellent otherwise though. It is expensive but the drinks are not watered down. I would eat there again but I wouldn't bother with a reservation if I wanted the ocean view seating, you apparently just have to come in and wait. That's fine, just would be nice to be able to reserve it, especially if it's a special occasion.

    Food quality was very good. Wait staff was good. From the host to the wait staff, it seemed mechanical and the goal was to let you eat and move you along quickly. I had eaten about a 3rd of my meal and there was the check. Meal quality, ambiance, service was all good.

    It was a beautiful evening and we were able to sit on the deck. We arrived around sunset time and had a table every tourist needed to walk by to get a picture of the sunset. But the sun did set and we finally were no longer in the 'passing zone.' Our waiter was lovely and the service was fine. AND the food was OUTSTANDING.
