    Beautiful setting looking out on the lagoon and excellent food. The service was outstanding as well. The lemon and Yuzu dessert was a highlight for me. Also love their coffee, which is served as a French press.

    Service was poor. Waitress forgot several items. Appetizers were delicious. Steak cooked more than requested. Main dining area closed. Area used felt like a Denny's. Very noisy and crowded. Hostess took too long for check in. Restaurant needs to upgrade service to justify prices and experience.
    Ember & RyeResponded 3 days ago
