I
Great food and excellent service! Very solution-oriented and made all the food gluten-free on request. We were here no less than three times during our stay. Absolutely recommended!

I have celiac and got the gluten free veggie sandwich that came with amazing cassava. I was thrilled with the quality and the fact that I didn’t get sick! They were gracious enough to clean the kitchen before making it, the staff were incredible!

They accommodated my gluten free, lactose free diet without skipping a beat, and delivered a delicious dinner with meticulous service. I ordered the scorpionfish and it was spectacular. I had a smoothie to drink and it was fresh and delicious. The sorbet for dessert was excellent. You know the chef is confident and (rightly) proud when the kitchen is open concept. And the service was top shelf -- polite and attentive without hovering. They saw our drinks ran low before our dinner was served and brought two glasses of ice water, and made a point to communicate that it was purified. They brought an extra spoon for my daughter to share my dessert without me having to ask. They didn't assume a tip in the bill like other restaurants, but rather left it to our discretion. These guys are pros! We will be back.
