   Terrific food. Service was slow but terrific when they showed up. The lam "cutlets" were an exceptional set of lamb chops

   The restaurant is stunning - lovely décor overlooking the ocean. A very chic place. We enjoyed our apps (mussel soup, beet salad, prosciutto + melon, zucchini parmesan). We waited 40+ mins for our mains. The lobster pastas were excellent but served warm-ish. The snapper was over-cooked, under-seasoned with a strong fish odour suggesting it was not fresh. The fish dish had to be sent back as it was inedible. Our server did not apologize but did offer a replacement. however, after 2 hours of being there, we were unable to endure another long wait for a main dish. The fish was removed from the bill. There was no inquiry or apology from management. In summary, beautiful restaurant, subpar food and terrible service.

   Wait staff and anyone we encountered were fantastic. Everyone went above and beyond beyond to make sure the experience was perfect. The atmosphere was really awesome and will definitely go back when we return.

   Food was very good. The overlook into the water gorgeous. The service was inattentive. I had to ask for my own starter bread after waiting for 20 minutes. It took them 35 minutes to get the appetizer out to us and 55 minutes for our main course. Unexpected and disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber. We ate in many local restaurants that worked on “island time” and was much faster. Overall not worth the travel, taste, wait or experience. There are many other excellent choices for the price.

   The food and venue is totally awesome. What a great vibe. Horrible horrible service, I know there’s island service but this was wow.  I would definitely recommend it, we had the gazpacho, Greek salad and one of their pizzas.

   Due to us not being able to find the restaurant, we were 10 mins late for our reservation which we confirmed the day of. No phone call was made to ask if we were still coming and the restaurant made us wait 1.2 hours before we could sit/eat. Charged us $80+ for water and did not offer any sort of compensation.

   The food is good but portions are very small. Service needs tremendous up training . The security gate guy he’s abrasive and slightly rude. We had to call the restaurant 5 times. They hung up the phone on us a couple times. We called and they were trying to direct us to the restaurant which the directions takes us to airport. When leaving we called for a golf cart and Jesslee passed us up twice and we were carrying a 14 month old. When leaving we had Willis to call for a cart for up hill and Jesslee took a long time until Willis took us. I saw Jesslee talking to a random female. While passing him up. Jesslee did not give any eye contact leaving or arriving. He was avoiding us and was rude.

   Food was uneven. The spaghetti alla vongole was bland. The veal was good as was the truffle gnocchi. But price was not commensurate with the level of food or the very delayed service. It took an hour to get our entrees, as was the case for several other exasperated diners who we heard complain. Views are breathtaking but not enough to induce us to return to dine there. It’s a pity.

    Nice location on the sea. Excellent service at the point that they brought us blanket when it became windy. Appetizers were outstanding, so was the main course. Overall it was a very good experience so we will book it again soon
