    Another great experience at Nui. lovely setting, sunset view. We enjoyed the Diavola pizza paired with excellent wines. Our server Helen made our evening extra special by remembering us from the last time that we were here and making us feel at home. And of course, all of this coupled with great service being there whenever we needed her we will be back

    The seating area felt more like a cafeteria, but the food was fantastic! We had chicken parmesan and bolognese. The sauces for each were amazing! The pasta in the bolognese was terrific! Staff was amazing too! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

    We went on Thanksgiving which set our bar already pretty low. Prices are high which was to be expected at a resort restaurant. Service was attentive. Food overall was pretty bad. My husband ordered the tacchino involtini which was part of the Thanksgiving special. It was dry, the flavor felt off like someone let the sauce cook for longer than it should have and it became slightly bitter. For a $55 special I would expect it to be on point. And $16 for a kids buttered noodles plate feels a bit much. The mushroom and blue cheese pizza felt more like a flatbread, the blue cheese overwhelmed the pizza. Wish the arugula on top had some evoo. Our guest had the diavola pizza which was probably the best dish of the evening. The server removed the tacchino special which was nice however I probably would not return.

    Front desk seemed a bit overwhelmed. Server was nice and food was delivered quickly. We had misto salad which was very good. Iced tea had no flavor. We ordered 2 pizzas. Both were good. 140 total which includes tip. Sunset view was lovely.

    Our drinks, Lava Flow and Pina Colada, were the best we had all week. The Chicken Parmesan meal and the Spaghetti and meatballs were excellent. Service was great also. Highly recommend!
