    Service and food was excellent. The place is beautiful but a little loud. Each person in my group ordered special cocktails and they were just mediocre. I definitely will be returning.

    Everything was good except the chocolate dessert, which was hard and had no chocolate flavor at all. The people who work there are wonderful ! The seafood was outstanding !
