The atmosphere, sunset, and vibes of this restaurant are definitely positive. However, we found the service and food to be poor. We found a lot of people we talked to when referring us to this restaurant would say, “Oh my gosh the sunset is amazing,” but they never spoke highly of the food and service. We found this to be true, unfortunately. The food was mediocre, we’d been on the island for over a week and were looking forward to this meal, but it was definitely a let down. Also, we were celebrating a milestone birthday while on the island and had ordered a cake from a local bakery that was gluten-free and vegan as the birthday boy has strict allergies. When speaking to the restaurant, they let us know an hour in advance of our reservation that we could ‘under no circumstances’ bring the Birthday cake that was accommodating severe allergies for the birthday boy. We ended up only going once during our trip and again, found management, the service, and food to be average and nothing to rave about.

The owner has celiac disease and they have organic syrups and really yummy shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit. They also have food options and the owner knows how to prep even in a small food truck to prevent cross contact.

We arrived in a pretty sour mood. My husband broke two toes while we are here so he couldn’t drive. I’m not able to drive at night. We couldn’t find a ride to the restaurant. We ended up being 20 minutes late for our reservation. Our server turned that around. Ashlynn was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She had a great energy about her. The food was amazing. I am gluten-free and she was very helpful in determining what I could eat. She totally nailed her wine recommendations. We were in such a great mood by the end of our dinner!

YUM! My family ordered 5 different flavors and sampled multiple others. Many dairy-free and gluten -free options! They were all amazing! No one was disappointed. The gentleman that answered most of our questions (I understood him to be the owner)was personable, great with my kids, and also had a playful sense of humor. On our way out, he jokingly said that he would see us tomorrow, but it’s no joke. We are going back tomorrow. Update: It is tomorrow and he was right, we came back. We all tried different flavors (gelato and sorbetto) and they were all fantastic! On the way out I told the people waiting in line that, “It is totally worth the wait!” The person in front responded with, “We know! We were here last night.”
