    Worth a visit to dine in the sand, experience great food and service. We celebrated a birthday and enjoyed the coconut shrimp appetizer, the salmon entree and beef medallions. We all loved our dinners and they brought a free dessert for our birthday girl!

    An excellent meal experience. The price point was a little high but they delivered excellent food to support. We had a great time and highly recommend to others.

    Nestor was an amazing server! I had limited time in PV, it was only a stop on my cruise and this made my whole trip. The food is delicious, the view is outstanding and the vibe is relaxing. 10/10

    10th anniversary and we were so excited. The waiter told us we should sip tequila. We wondered why he was laughing with the other waiters when we agreed to partake. Charged us $135 for 2 shots. We are foodies and great tippers. They didn’t need to take advantage of us. Will never go back.
