    Overall, I had a good dining experience. The recommended entrée of Jerk Salmon was good but lacked the jerk flavor I was expecting. The service was good nice some waiting at the end of the meal for our check.

    This was probably the best pairing I have ever experienced and I’ve experienced quite a few. I would rate everything as a 10+… The food was superb, atmosphere, service and the dinner pairing experience itself was a great value. I would definitely attend more if they were offered.

    Beautiful setting. Food was above average, but overpriced. That’s what you get when you sit waterside, though. Service extremely slow, but friendly
