It was a magical experience. The ambience, service, view and food was excellent. The penne vegetarian dish I had was one of the tastiest vegetarian dishes I’ve ever tasted!

Daiquiri Dick's was excellent in so many ways. The service, the ambiance, and the views were all perfect when my sister and I ate there last night. Unfortunately, when we got home, we both had violent stomach upsets. We had different appetizers, and then both had the fish entrée so suspect that was the culprit. Not how we would expect to finish an evening of fine dining.
