We've been here twice now for breakfast. The dishes were delicious. The food is freshly prepared. The coffee is very good.

We sat outside because the air conditioning was on and it was quite cold.

Can’t imagine there being better seafood in a better atmosphere anywhere else. The outdoor setting surrounded by a pool was such great ambience. The sever was so incredibly friendly and had superb knowledge of the menu and seafood sources.
It felt like the chef curated the meal completely for us. We went with all of the chef’s recommendations and they were even able to make everything completely gluten free. We were gifted the pumpkin soup with the seafood broth and it was absolutely incredible. We each got the filet meals, one with mahi mahi and the other with the yellowfin tuna seared medium rare. They were such sizeable portions and every item on the plate was cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection.
I would easily eat there every night and would recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the freshest seafood prepared in the most incredible ways!

Service was mediocre. $8 per bottle of water that they didn't even ask if we wanted... Cocktails we just ok. Better drinks on the beach across the street...
Appetizers were small and middle of the road.
Coastal seafood soup was bland with overcooked seafood.
Two gluten free options. Unacceptable.
Sushi is good.
The server forgot an entree. We waited for 15 minutes for them to bring it out. They didn't apologize or try to make amends for their mistake.
Skip this overpriced tourist trap. We didn't even come on a busy night...

We had tenderloin with gorgonzola sauce, Caribbean Ceviche, yellow fin tuna with tamarind sauce, and the gluten free chocolate cake terrine. All was c delicious. Steak was tender and well seasoned. The Gorgonzola sauce was well balanced, just right. The tuna melted in our mouths (very high grade), and the tamarind sauce was also well balanced. The ceviche with parrot fish was tender, with just a little kick. The mangos and coconut milk made it just right! And the terrine was perfect, not too sweet, just right. Overall, the food is prepared with serious discipline, so well balanced. The service was fabulous. Randall took care of everything perfectly, and we were fortunate to meet Hazel. What a lovely host. Please try this place. You won’t be disappointed! Side note, when we walked in, there was a couple dining outside who were raving at how good it is just like I am. Money well spent! The chocolate has me rambling…

Take-out: 3 errors prior to trying the food, losing one star each:
1) tried to charge us 10% for service, when we didn’t sit down. They quickly corrected and printed a new receipt.
2) Only gave us two sets of chopsticks for an order of three sushi rolls.
3) Asked for gluten free soy sauce and non-gluten free; they provided both, but didn’t label which one was which.
