    A delightful and surprising experience. The sunset, poolside setting was beautiful, the manager was welcoming, attentive, and very personable. The food was spectacular, an eclectic mix of Mediterranean and Japanese that somehow works! The only concern was that the waiter was a bit overwhelmed although the manager did a wonderful job of filling in.

    Hello Cyndy. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We're so glad you had a delightful experience with the beautiful sunset and poolside setting, and it's great to hear the Mediterranean-Japanese fusion wowed you! We appreciate your understanding regarding the waiter, and we're glad the manager could step in and ensure everything ran smoothly. We truly value your feedback and can't wait to welcome you back for another fantastic experience!

    We went for an early dinner and drinks. The setting firstly is one of the nicest on island. Beach chic beautiful ocean views. You feel like you are on vacation. We ordered a variety of staters including sushi and tempura prawns which out of this world absolutely cooked to perfection! Then we all shared the Branzino and it was an OMG moment it was that good. Their burger is also fantastic but that was another time. Def add this place to your list! It’s a must
    NOVAResponded on March 11, 2025
    Hello! Thank you for such a detailed and glowing review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the setting—it really does feel like a mini-vacation with those ocean views. We're so happy the sushi, tempura prawns, and Branzino blew you away. That "OMG" moment is exactly what we aim for! And yes, the burger is definitely another must-try. We can't wait to have you back next time—hopefully for that burger! 😊
